Van Jones calls Amber Rose to account after RNC speech

Political strategist and media personality Van Jones recently criticized Amber Rose for her speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC). Jones believes it is “the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition.” He noted how Rose emphasized the fear of judgment and says it “resonated with people.” He points out that because Rose is a woman of color, her story will resonate with many. Jones began, “That’s a young woman of color. She’s describing the experience that a lot of people have — that feeling, maybe.”

He continued: If you have too many liberals around you, you might get criticized too much or you might not be able to express your opinion, and she spoke very well about that.” Jones added: “And she’s far more famous than any of us here — I’m going to tell you — far more famous. And so to the extent that these guys are trying to break our coalition, that was a bunker buster.”

“These are my people,” says Amber Rose

During her speech, Amber Rose opened up about what made her a Trump supporter. While she initially thought he was racist, she changed her mind after doing some research to prove her father wrong. Rose says it was then that she “let go of my fear of judgment.” Kanye West’s former ex realized that “Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, straight, it’s all love.”

“And then it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong,” she continued. “So I let go of my fear of being judged, of being misunderstood, of being attacked by the left, and I put on the red hat too,” she added.
On July 15, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, the RNC kicked off its annual conference. The three-day event featured a variety of speakers and guests, including Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock.
