CNN political commentator Van Jones seemed to call out Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer as a liar for defending President Joe Biden amid his mental decline.

The former Obama adviser said on “CNN NewsNight” Monday that Schumer’s nose was “going to start growing” if he kept covering that the 82-year-old president “was in bad shape.”

As the controversy over Biden’s obvious deterioration in mental and physical health continues, Schumer denied that he and other Democrats “misled” the public about the extent of the decline.

“What do you say to Americans who feel as though you and other top Democrats misled them about President Biden’s mental acuity?” NBC’s “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker asked the New York Democrat.

“Look, we didn’t,” Schumer replied. “Let’s look at President Biden. He’s had an amazing record. The legislation we passed, was one of the most significant groups of legislation since the New Deal, since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. Putting in 235 judges – a record.”

“He’s a patriot. He’s a great guy,” he added. “And when he stepped down, he did it on his own because he thought it was better, not only for the Democratic Party, but for America. We should all salute him.”

Jones offered his vehement disagreement on Monday.

“Look, obviously, Biden was in bad shape,” he told the CNN panel.

“And I was surprised and other people were surprised who were not having regular contact with Biden,” he continued. “Biden had done a good job in the interview with Anderson Cooper.”

“But there were people who were close who must have known better and people should just say — look, obviously, a lot was known and wasn’t said and wasn’t shared,” he added.

“Now it’s leaking out all the time anyway. So, it’s just, look, I think to have any credibility and integrity, people have to quit playing around,” Jones said. “Schumer’s nose is going to start growing if he keeps doing stuff like that.”
