On CNN's Crossfire, Van Jones Exposes Conservative Media's Cherry-Picking On Guns

Media Matters
CNN host Van Jones chastised contributor Will Cain for "cherry-picking [legislative] districts" to paint stronger gun laws as wildly unpopular, pointing out that such laws have strong support nationwide. During the September 13 edition of CNN's Crossfire, Jones hosted Cain and Colorado State Sen. John Morse (D-Colorado Springs), who was defeated in a recent recall election after being targeted over his support for expanded background checks and a 15-round limit for firearm magazines, to discuss the recall and gun reform. After explaining that gun reform measures such as background checks are "massively popular ... all across the country," Jones criticized Cain for "cherry-picking [legislative] districts" like Morse's to argue that the American people don't support gun reform.
