Van Jones said Thursday evening he has not felt such energy at any convention since the 2008 DNC.

A former Obama administration advisor on Thursday compared this week’s Republican National Convention to the 2008 Democratic National Convention .

This spirit that this guy has – you guys think this is ‘cause he’s drunk. He’s not,” Jones said of Scott Jennings. “This whole thing is like this. The last time I was at a convention that felt like this was Obama 2008." “When I came here tonight, there was so much energy in this room, I felt maybe I was in Madison Square Garden getting ready to win another world title,” he said. “The vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy, it felt like maybe I was gonna press that no-good giant over my head, and slam him through the mat, brother.”Bollea later ripped off his shirt to expose a campaign tank top for Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio.

White also connected his experience with professional fighting to Trump’s challenges over the past decade.
