Jana Carter is an American businesswoman who is popular for being the ex-wife of CNN political commentator, Van Jones. Van Jones recently appeared on ABC’s “The View” to promote a new documentary, The Reunited States. However, things turned spicy after Co-host Sunny Hostin called out Van Jones for expressing relief at the election defeat of former President Donald Trump while still focusing on police reform with the previous GOP government. She said;

Recently, you cried on CNN when Joe Biden was elected the 46th president, and you said it’s easier to be a parent now, character matters now, truth matters.

She added;

You even mentioned George Floyd and said a lot of people felt they couldn’t breathe. People in the Black community don’t trust you anymore.

In response to the co-host Sunny Hostin’s statement, Van denied the allegations and said his focus in working with Trump was on legislative progress. He said;

The entire quote I said was that Trump has done a lot of good stuff he doesn’t get credit for, and then I said the reason he doesn’t get credit for it is because he’s done all this horrific stuff, said all this horrific stuff and it completely erases what he’s done.
