Van Jones ridiculed for saying Amber Rose's pro-Trump RNC speech is 'bunker buster' for Democrats

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Senior political analyst for CNN Van Jones issued a warning, noting that model and TV personality Amber Rose's speech at the Republican National Convention endorsing former president Donald Trump was the "most dangerous speech" for the Democratic Party.

The political commentator voiced concern about Rose's appearance at the RNC as a well-known person of color, pointing out that her popularity appeals to liberals who might be dissatisfied with Democratic policies.

"That was probably the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition," Jones said about Rose’s speech while covering the first night of the convention in Milwaukee, according to Fox News.

Amber Rose wasn't a Donald Trump supporter initially

During her speech at the GOP convention, Amber Rose shared her personal political journey, detailing how she changed from believing that Donald Trump was a "racist" to embracing his cause.

The model, who once dated rapper Kanye West, talked about how her father, who supports Trump, pushed her to look into the former president's positions and policies outside mainstream media. She accepted his challenge and started to support Trump.

"I realize Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, White, gay or straight, it’s all love. And that’s when it hit me, these are my people. This is where I belong," she said in her speech.

Van Jones says Amber Rose described the experience 'a lot of people have'

Van Jones remarked, "That is a young woman of color. She’s describing the experience a lot of people have, feeling that maybe if you’re around too many liberals you might get criticized too much, or you might not be able to speak your mind. And she spoke to it really well."

Referring to the rest of the CNN panel, Jones added, "And she’s way more famous than any of us up here. I’m going to tell you that. Way more famous."

"And so, to the extent that these guys are trying to bust up our coalition, that was a bunker buster right there," he added.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper also speaks about the effectiveness of Amber Rose’s speech

The efficacy of Amber Rose's speech was also discussed by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.

He replied to Jones, "And it’s one of the things we’ve been talking about – there are speakers that speak to the room, and there are speakers who speak through the television screen. She speaks through the camera to the audience at home."

Amber Rose first made waves in support for Donald Trump in May 2024

In addition to sharing pictures of her meeting with Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump on social media, Amber Rose first gained attention for supporting the ex-president in May when she posted pictures of herself online in a bikini and MAGA hat.

When asked about her new pro-Trump stance at the time, she told TMZ, "Is Donald Trump not for women's rights issues? – He's trying to Make America Great Again – that's for women too."

"We just did our research and we're not brainwashed anymore by the left," she added.
