Liberal commentator Van Jones called Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) a “muppet-haired socialist” while praising him for his performance in the Iowa caucuses during a Tuesday appearance on CNN.
Host Brooke Baldwin asked Jones to explain whether he thought Sanders’ loss to Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses by a whisper-thin margin constituted a good showing or not.
“I’m in the camp that says anybody who is a 79,000 year-old, Muppet-looking socialist–” Jones said as Baldwin scoffed.
Jones laughed and attempted to clarify his statement.
“I love Bernie Sanders!” he said. “Anybody like that who comes within a hair of beating the Clintons, that let’s you know there’s something’s going on just beyond the candidate.”
Watch below:
Van, one day you too will be old and kids with disparage your age. And your supposed infirmities. Get ready for it now would be my suggestion. And there’s nothing wrong with being a socialist either. In fact I might vote for Bernie just to spite you.

Oh, and get off my lawn
I sometimes think all black folks have a unique and wonderful gift of being able to clown the people we love and like the most. Love or hate Sanders, that’s pretty hilarious.
Man, I’m just glad it’s OK to make fun of white males still.
Anyways, it’s not like it’s exactly an inaccurate comment.
Yeah Van, it’s a bad look…
