Combat vets beg to differ.

(CNN) – CNN political commentator Van Jones doesn’t mince words in condemning Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia.

“This is baffling to anybody with a functioning brain stem,” he told Jake Tapper Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Jones said the country and the President-elect must “be honest” about the extent of Russia’s intervention in the US election.

“Yes, other presidents tried say nice things about the Russians and you know, warm things … (but) not in the face of an active attack on the country! Cyber war is real war,” he said.

Jones criticized President-elect Trump’s failure to categorically condemn Russian hacking.

“So you have an active attack on our country and the President-elect cannot find it in himself to say this is wrong and it needs to stop?” Jones, exclaimed, aghast.
