CNN political correspondent Van Jones says the “one person” Ben Carson needs to fire on his campaign is Ben Carson.

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week” with guest host Martha Raddatz on Sunday, Jones claimed that Carson has “a level of narcissism here… he was happy to talk about all these internal details. Here’s a guy that spent most of his career telling people ‘take personal responsibility.’ He spent the past several days blaming his staff and the media instead of blaming himself.” (RELATED: SHAKE-UP: Ben Carson’s Campaign Manager, Communications Director Resign)

Van Jones: Well listen, you’ve seen this before in the 2012 cycle. You have a flavor of the month. The one person he needs to fire on his campaign is Ben Carson. That’s the reality. I mean, he had a shot, he was in the lead, but when you can’t tell the difference of Hummus and Hamas, you’re not going to be able to survive in a presidential campaign. There’s a level of narcissism here and you saw it in the interview, you saw it in the interview, he was happy to talk about all these internal details. Here’s a guy that spent most of his career telling people ‘take personal responsibility’ he spent the past several days blaming his staff and the media instead of blaming himself.
