CNN’s Van Jones: ‘I Messed Up’ on ‘Dead Gaza Baby’ Quip

Laughing over the death of babies in Hamas’ war with Israel had CNN’s Van Jones apologizing profusely overnight into Sunday morning after his appearance on Friday’s “Real Time With Bill Maher.”

“Yeah, I messed up on this one,” Jones wrote on X when called out for using “dead Gaza baby” and “Diddy” as a punch line for laughs. “And I’m sorry.

“I was trying to raise awareness about foreign adversaries creating chaos online — which is undermining democracy everywhere. But what I said was easily misunderstood, and the way I said it was flat-out insensitive. Babies are dying every day in Gaza. Nobody should dispute that fact or make light of it in any way.
