‘Jill Stein is a Clown’: Democrat Brutally Torches Green Party Candidate on Fox News

A former advisor to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who announced he would not seek reelection this week, pulled no punches when asked on Fox News to react to Jill Stein running for president.

“She is running again for president under the Green Party. Watch,” began Harris Faulkner before playing Stein’s announcement video.

“The political system is broken. The two Wall Street parties are bought and paid for. Over 60% of us now say the bi-partisan establishments failed us. And we need a party that serves the people. I’m Jill Stein and I’m running for president to offer that choice for the people outside of the failed two-party system,” Stein then says in the clip.

“She’s joining the race against Joe Biden with Cornell West. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Congressman Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, and maybe even Senator Joe Manchin. We don’t know. But look at that wall. So there are some people on the left. What’s your take, Jonathan? Should they be looked at closer at this point with Biden’s polling numbers underground basically now?” Faulkner then asked Jonathan Kott.

“No, I think, Jill Stein is a clown who has no business in politics and shouldn’t be on any ballot. You know, she has no voting support. There’s you know, she’ll get 50,000 votes and maybe three or four states and she could potentially swing the election to Donald Trump, who I assume she hates more than Joe Biden,” Kott replied.

Notably, Stein was credited by many in 2016 for helping Donald Trump win the electoral college by peeling away votes from Democrat Hillary Clinton in key swing states.

“But actually, I don’t know because I don’t pay a lot of attention to Jill Stein,” Kott added before pivoting to his former boss’s record in West Virginia:

I just want to point out one thing. You know, the Inflation Reduction Act brought about $2 billion and 50,000 jobs to West Virginia. It’s a pretty damn good bill for West Virginia. Got a Mountain Valley pipeline.

Faulkner cut in and recalled a dicey interview she had with Manchin about the Inflation Reduction Act and told Kott she would like to have them both back on to continue that conversation.
