CNN's Van Jones On Donald Trump: 'You Can't Polish This Turd'

CNN contributor Van Jones did not hold back when criticizing Republican candidate Donald Trump refusing to say he would accept the outcome of the presidential election.

“This is a very sad night for the country,” Jones said. “You can’t polish this turd. I’m sorry.”

Jones’ post-debate analysis has made headlines before. Ahead of the first presidential debate, he warned that Americans should not lower their standards for Trump. “He can’t just get credit for being the most improved bigot,” Jones said.
