Cornel West BLASTS Jill Stein's 'Arrogance,' Kamala is the Next Obama

Jordan Chariton interviews Dr. Cornel West about the Democratic Party and mainstream media rallying around VP Kamala Harris as the next Democratic presidential nominee as well as his response to Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein suggesting West should "think strategically" about his 2024 run and whether it makes more sense for him to unite with her campaign.

Jordan should have asked West why he didn't participate in the independent party debate even though he was invited. Independent candidates should be looking for every venue to get their ideas out there.

My heart is breaking. I so appreciate Cornel West's vision, passion, INTELLIGENCE. There are things he's not saying, some bias? Hurt feelings? I was all for him from the get go, and even after Jill started to run. But then he took a turn, soured?😢. I wish, naively? Cornel with his power and "followers"would unite with Jill and, yes, the green party with all its flaws(!)
Please, Dr West, please reconsider. ❤
Thank you Jordon, for addressing the hard stuff with these two awesome leaders. I envision a day soon that they will come together to collaborate to replace the corrupt system!

[killiet.]

Cornell ....please read all the comments here and reflect! Time for our Professor to be a student of how to collaborate for a better cause strategically, not egoistically.

West has run a disappointing, bumbling campaign since day one.
I had a lot of initial excitement for him as a candidate, but he has dropped the ball at every opportunity.

I’m so disappointed in Dr. West. I don’t understand why he had to take everything so personally instead of focusing on the greater good he could do in _expanding_ the already solid Green Party base! Glad to find out about his true identity and priorities sooner rather than later i guess smh

[dopepope]

She’s not lying about you she’s talk sense, Brother west need to stop taking everything so personal and get over himself, ,,, I guess no one is perfect

[falsificationism]

No hate to Prof West, but he's just wrong about this and it's heartbreaking. This isn't personal.

Jill Stein, through the Green Party, is the largest, most organized, best known, and best funded of our options. We need to consolidate support.

[BuddhaLove]

I voted for Jill Stein and am proud I did so! I have yet to hear a cogent argument from Professor West about why Jill Stein is a "racist" and so on. ..

It is not really right to slander another without such a modicum of proof!

🙏📿

[dianefuhrman]

Conell West is truly a nice human being. He has some type of grievances towards Jill Stein which he does not want to tell us about. Not knowing what the hell he is talking about, while Jill Stein makes an argument for her position, without emotion. My vote is for Jill Stein.

[greenvelvet]

I really don't understand this animosity between two leftists that should be building a coalition together. He made himself look foolish by changing party affiliations at least three times, Jill Stein has been constant and she has a ballot access across the country

[MrWphilips]

Dr. Stein’s proposal contains a powerful potential for solutions!

It is sad that more are not fully on board!

[tantzer]

Cornel West complains about Stein’s ad hominem, “personal ambition, ” while he refers to Stein’s “addiction” to running for president. This sort of mutual disrespect within the left is toxic for the movement and deeply disappointing. It’s hard to be hopeful when this is how the best of us behave.

[buckhorn]

It’s grossly disingenuous for West to describe Stein with words like “arrogance” and “condescension” and “hautiness” and “wreaking of racist sensibility that I could go into”—obviously all his interpretations of Stein’s behavior—and then refuse to “go into” the specific behavior that resulted in those damning judgments. All in response to the two words “personal ambition.” This says far more about him than it does about her. Jordan certainly knows the difference between facts and interpretations but didn’t press him very hard to divulge the “facts” on which he based those accusations.

[dianadorer]

What has happened to Cornel West. He was always such a great example of Christianity and also quite intellectual regarding our troubling government obsessed with hegemony. I don't understand his attack on Jill Stein. He should be teaming up with her for the revolution which is way past due. Dr.West called Obama a profound disappointment, which he certainly was for me, but then many say Obama's hands were tied.

[robeson]

This reminds me of sus Elizabeth Warren calling Bernie a secret sexist in 2020 during primary season.

[michelledemers]

Cornel, you are making all this about you. It is really sad to see. I really have loved to listen to you in the past. It is really hard to hear your message through your whining and disrespect. Please reconsider your approach.

[reddy-]

A good leader can get beyond the personal for the greater good of the public they say they’re fighting for.

[FedUpSista]

We need a UNITED Front Against Fascism NOW

[ancientsymbol]

I didn’t hear her lying about Cornel 🤷‍♂️

[Letkharable]

Very telling that Cornel ignores Jill's suggestion for a conference to try and unite and instead jumps into stupid personal drama, lying about what she said. (She explicitly says she is not suggesting he drops out) and even trashing poor and working class voters as PMC's. I'm not a huge fan of Jill, but she's clearly more of a leader than Cornel is.
