Monday on CNN’s “The Source,” network political commentator Van Jones said Democrats were sticking with scandal-ridden Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner because Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) won’t stop “completely deranged” President Donald Trump.
Jones said, “You know, I don’t like this kind of stuff in that, you know, there used to be a time where character mattered a lot more. But where we are now, I remember Bill Clinton. He had a bunch of scandals, and the party said, you know what? We are more concerned about end of Republican rule in DC and they rallied behind Bill Clinton. I think you guys see the same thing in Maine. I think the problem you have now is just that the, the standards have dropped so low, because of Trump’s behavior you got a crazy guy running for the Senate in Texas who’ve been impeached, and then all terrible stuff. So the standards are just falling down through the floorboards. And, I don’t think the Democrats are going to run away from them, but it doesn’t make me very happy.”
