Hot 97 radio host Peter Rosenberg is asking out Van Jones and questioning why the CNN analyst remains to be being embraced as a progressive voice.

On October 6, Rosenberg took to X (previously Twitter) with sharp phrases for Jones following his current apology for controversial remarks in regards to the ongoing Israel–Gaza conflict. The tweet has already garnered over 47,000 views.

“This man Van Jones has been an utter and complete fraud for years now,” Rosenberg tweeted. “He is constantly on the wrong side of everything. I am so sick of him being propped up as a voice for progressives. It is a complete lie — just like everything he said with King Islamophobe Bill Maher.”

The put up got here two days after Jones publicly apologized for feedback that many noticed as insensitive. During a earlier dialogue, Jones advised that misinformation in regards to the Gaza battle was being unfold by “foreign adversaries,” which critics stated downplayed the humanitarian disaster.

In his October 4 apology, Jones admitted he “messed up” and described his earlier statements as “flat-out insensitive.” “Babies are dying every day in Gaza,” he stated. “Nobody should dispute that fact or make light of it in any way. To the people living in fear and burying family members every day — I apologize.”

Rosenberg, who typically makes use of his Hot 97 platform to talk on social justice, didn’t purchase it. He known as out Jones’ previous collaboration with Real Time with Bill Maher host Bill Maher, who has lengthy confronted accusations of Islamophobia. By referring to Maher as “King Islamophobe,” Rosenberg advised that Jones’ willingness to align with Maher uncovered deeper inconsistencies in his so-called progressive stance.

Jones, a former Obama administration adviser, has been criticized in recent times for what many view as political flip-flopping. From praising Donald Trump’s legal justice reform efforts to later condemning his administration.

Rosenberg’s put up reignited these long-standing critiques, sparking heated conversations on-line about authenticity and accountability amongst mainstream commentators. For Rosenberg, the message was easy: Van Jones’ monitor document speaks louder than any apology.
