CNN commentator and former Obama administration official Van Jones quipped Democrats were the ones who "dodged a bullet" after former President Trump concluded his lengthy nomination acceptance speech Thursday night.
Trump formally accepted the GOP nomination after surviving an assassination attempt on his life on Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. His RNC speech, which lasted approximately 92 minutes, covered the chaos on Saturday, his family and President Biden, but critics like Jones said it was rambling and unfocused.
"Trump dodged a bullet on Saturday and Democrats dodged a bullet tonight," Jones said after Trump's address, in remarks that could have been construed as insensitive given Trump was shot less than a week ago.
