More quotes by Van Jones
Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and nobody else, trying to hurt America.

We're getting back what we're putting out.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we did create Color of Change, an organization which focused on African-Americans in particular, because we felt that there was a big gap there in terms of online advocacy which had left the black community particularly vulnerable.
Van Jones
I am not, in fact, a superhero. Just a humble, mild-mannered civil rights attorney.
Van Jones
There's the God within and the God without, and you have to attend to the alignment of the two of them.

We are trying to reinvigorate our stagnant energy sector, to create avenues for new wealth. Clean energy innovation, job creation and energy independence should be common ground for all Americans.
Van Jones
All the old rules - if you say some crazy stuff you get your show canceled or you get your campaign ended - don't apply in the world of social media. They don't apply in the world of reality TV.

Now I think liberals have gone from underreacting to Trump and saying that Trump is just a clown and a buffoon, and that Hillary Clinton's going to kick his ass, to now overreacting, and saying, Oh my God, 60 million people consciously endorsed a white supremacist for president.
Van Jones
The Russians have had and continue to have an active program to undermine American society.
Van Jones
[I wish no one ever asked me ] Did you sign that petition implicating the Bush Administration in 9/11? Because I never signed it, and I hate being vilified for a controversial idea I never espoused.
Van Jones
We thought Donald Trump was leaving that world of entertainment and climbing over the wall into politics. In fact, what he did was he pulled the world of politics into the world of reality television.
Van Jones
The laws of spiritual physics will not allow you to lead somebody that you don't love, that you don't care about, that you resent, that you look down on. That's why the Republicans can't lead black people. And that's why Democrats increasingly can't lead these straight, white, male demons that we hate so much.
Van Jones
I said and stand by it. I said that race was a part, and there was a part, that alt-right part, that was a part of the whitelash. And if you listened to the whole quote, you would agree with what I said.
Van Jones
By kicking its carbon addiction, America will increase its national wealth and generate millions of jobs that can't be outsourced.
Van Jones
The government built the grid to favor one industry over others. But I don't hear any conservatives screaming about that. Folks don't understand that the elite economic interests that are holding them down are also feeding them a bunch of lies.
Van Jones
I do feel kind of like I have a split identity in that there's Van Jones, who has this big public role and tries to inspire millions of people to do new stuff together. And then there's just me: a pretty quiet, shy, retiring person.

In America, we're in the middle of a cyberwar with Russia.
