CNN analyst Van Jones offered an apology after a confrontation with GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

The two men met for the first time during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, following a series of incendiary remarks made by Jones that Ramaswamy claims led to death threats against him and his family.

The tension began when Jones, during a post-debate analysis on CNN in 2023, labeled Ramaswamy as "the rise of an American demagogue."

"That guy is dangerous," Jones stated. "He won't stop Trump, but he's going to outlive Trump by about 50 years."

"I watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person… Literally, I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don't know that is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth," Jones added.

Ramaswamy responded to Jones' comments during a speech at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest conference, where he dismissed Jones' rhetoric with disdain.

"You got this character Van Jones on CNN afterward saying: 'This is the rise of an American demagogue who's gonna live 50 years longer than Trump, this is dangerous, I am shaking,'" Ramaswamy said, adding, "Just shut the f—k up."
