that hurt Hillary for the last year

"Democratic Base in ‘Full-on Rebellion’ Against Hillary Clinton" (January 2016)

"The reality is she’s apologized again and again for the judgment but it was bad judgment,” Jones said. “And we’re now having to pay a cost in the campaign. I’d say it is a strike against Hillary Clinton that she chose to use that e-mail server. It is a strike against her that she’s handled it, you know in this weird way, going forward. So that’s two strikes against her.”(August 2016)

“The Clinton days are over...You’ve got to be an authentic person from the beginning. You’re going to be judged based on your authentic commitment to the actual base of this party.” (January 2017).

Jones always struck me as someone very comfortable in his entitlement to pass judgment on this particular woman.
