WATCH: Van Jones Lambasts Ted Cruz for Demagoguery in Crossfire Debate About Obamacare

Van Jones, president and cofounder of Rebuild the Dream, said what we all wish we could have said to Sen. Ted Cruz on Crossfire the other day. Actually, he said it a lot more politely. After pointing out that Obamacare's roll out has hit some understandable snags given that more poeple tried to sign on than signed onto Twitter in its first month, and that every successful program of its kind—like Romneycare—has expereinced bumps at first, Jones asked Cruz if he would ever acknowledge he was wrong?

When Cruz evaded the question and began to blather about how Obamacare is devastating the country, and pretended that he cared about single mothers not having insurance, Jones had had enough: "Blaming everything that's wrong with America on Obamacare— that is demagoguery."
