0:37Now PlayingCNN commentator Van Jones seemingly suggested Wednesday that Republicans have a “cheaper patriotism” while Democrats have a “deeper” and more “muscular” devotion to their country.
“I feel like there’s a distinction between what I would call a cheaper patriotism and a deeper patriotism. This is a deeper patriotism here, it‘s not just the rah-rah stuff,” Jones said on CNN reacting to night three of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
“They are asserting that the value of freedom is not just the freedom to not pay your taxes or the freedom to say get off my lawn, it‘s the freedom to live a full life,” he continued, “and to be able to live a full life, we need each other, we need smart government.”
“I haven‘t seen so many ‘USA, USA’ [chants]…there is a muscular patriotism associated with Kamala Harris. There’s a musculature to what she’s saying. She wants to fight, she’s not afraid. She wants to fight for this. [She says] ;I believe in this country, I believe in this particular vision of freedom and I am going to fight for it.’ And I think that’s a very interesting new combination that I haven’t seen before.”
