He was not happy about how the interview went. It was unprofessional,\u201d another source told the Post. \u201c[Van] expected a friendly environment, and I don\u2019t think Meghan even knew there was anything controversial about him. It was how they asked the questions that was off-putting. It was shocking how intolerant they were.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Jones tweeted about the Friday segment saying that the way the hosts acted made the \u201cneed for the film \u2026 more apparent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReal trust is earned by deeds over decades. I was there to promote a film called [\u2018The Reunited States\u2019], about people listening across lines of difference. Ironically, the need for the film was made more apparent by some of the co-hosts. So I hope more folks will watch it,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thanks, Monica.

You\u2019ve lost a lot of people who trusted you, and who saw you as a voice because of the positions you took during Trump,\u201d Navarro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Td62CxJ2x5o&amp;feature=emb_logo\">said<\/a>, noting how he had been an outspoken critic of Trump during the 2016 election. \u201cHow did you go from being this very principled critic of the Trump administration, as I was, to all of a sudden being in the White House celebrating with them and being, you know, posing for pictures with Candace Owens?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones responded saying that he worked with the Trump administration on policies he supported just like he had worked with the Obama administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Obama was in office, I was working with [former GOP Speaker of the House] Newt Gingrich, I was working with Republicans then to get people out of prison, to put the people first,\u201d Jones said. \u201cAs much time as I had spent in the Obama White House, working with them trying to get people out of prison, if I had then said, \u2018We have a new president. I\u2019m not going in there for four years or eight years,\u2019 it was never then about the people behind bars.
