Amber Rose, who recently gave a surprise endorsement to former President Donald Trump, was rewarded for her MAGA turn with a prime-time speaking slot during the first night of the Republican National Convention. CNN commentator Van Jones thinks this is a big deal, but Black people online disagree.

Black Twitter is over it with Amber Rose and Van Jones.

Black Twitter gave a massive side-eye to Rose and the RNC for presenting her as a rapper and major Black celebrity who would convince Black people to vote for Trump.

Van Jones and CNN had a different opinion. After Rose’s speech, Jones mentioned, “At the RNC this week, Amber Rose’s approach poses the biggest threat to the Democratic Party’s traditional coalition,” and referred to Rose as “a bunker-busting bomb” in the Republicans’ fight against Democrats.

After hearing Jones’ take on Rose, Black Twitter was having none of it.

‘Starting to think that this man is… not like us.’ “

“They’re really on CNN acting like Amber Rose just delivered a MLK JR or Obama like speech,” one person tweeted. “They are so unserious.”

“Can Van Jones please shut up,” another critic of Jones’ commentary posted with a GIF. “He’s so out of touch.”

“Van Jones thinking Amber Rose’s voice and opinions are strong with Gen Z or the culture, just proves how out of touch he is with our community and many other things,” another said alongside a meme.

“Who does Van Jones think Amber Rose is?” someone else asked. “I’m starting to think that this man is… not like us.”

Author Scott Poulson-Bryant chimed in on Jones’ commentary and the backlash to it with a meme, saying, “I think Van Jones has a getting-dragged fetish so he says this crazy stuff whenever a political event happens.”

Republicans thought Amber Rose would make a significant impact on Black folks, but this is probably not what they had in mind. And Jones has demonstrated that he might not be in touch with the pulse of the Black community.
