Van Jones Mocks Dizzying Idea Of Marjorie Taylor Greene Being In Trump's Cabinet

CNN s Van Jones just zinged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene s (R-Ga.) political ambitions with major shade and a fiery one-liner. (Watch the video below.)

The far-right Greene said Wednesday she was pondering a run for Senate in a potential battle against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), but was entertaining other possibilities.

I havent made up my mind whether I will do that or not, she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . I have a lot of things to think about. Am I going to be a part of President Trumps Cabinet if he wins? Is it possible that Ill be VP?

Jones, a political commentator , laughed as he tried to encapsulate the absurdity of it all.

Look, first of all, who is Marjorie Taylor Greene? he said. Who are you talking about? Shes never passed a bill. Shes never chaired a committee. Shes never done literally anything at all except to be an obnoxious controversialist. But she might be the VP!

Thats the world that were in, he continued. Donald Trump made that world where if youre obnoxious enough and crazy enough and have enough lunatic tweets, you can dominate the conversation. Hes doing it. Shes doing it. Its not good for America.

I mean, what would the Senate confirmation hearings even look like? host Kaitlan Collins asked.

It would just be a circus inside of a zoo on fire, Jones cracked. That would be it.
