The gushing love-fest for Senator Kamala Harris was on full display across all of network television after the wrap- up of the second round Democratic primary debate Thursday night. In particular, CNN commentator Van Jones could not contain his enthusiasm for the Senator on the DNC Post Debate Analysis program.
Jones fawned over his relationship with Harris while complimenting her ‘beautiful’ presence on the debate stage.
Kamala Harris, a wall has come down. A wall has come down. There was a way that she was defended often when she'd be talking. And there is something that has happened in this process where she-that- I've known Kamala for 25 years and I know that she has that heart but she doesn't show it often. Even tonight-she- there was something present there that I thought was beautiful.
Fellow CNN host Nia Malika Henderson added her insight on Harris which was nothing short of glowing adulation.
I mean she was, tonight, she was her full black woman, strong self. And we've never seen anything like that on a political stage. You think about women, you think about black women particularly operating in spaces like this when it's normally white men kind of set the standard and the tone. And that was what was so remarkable and so unforgettable. You watch that debate performance, it's something we hadn't seen from her, we hadn't seen it before from anyone.
It is clear who won the night in the eyes of CNN.
