Van Jones
We should not allow the fundamentalists and the bigots to take over and speak for the great faiths any more than we should let them take over and speak for the great nation.

Van Jones
I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.
Van Jones
Donald Trump was underrated, but he understood social media and he understood reality television.
Van Jones
You don't get lower ratings playing the villain on reality TV.
Van Jones
America cannot be America in the new century until it deals with these new questions of gender, including the trans issues, and the questions around faith and Islam.
Van Jones
Donald Trump understood the dynamics of the new media system better than the people who ran the old media system.
Van Jones
The Russians have had and continue to have an active program to undermine American society.
Van Jones
The boundless capacity of the African American spirit in this country to say Hallelujah anyhow, to use our joy as a weapon, to use our creativity as a weapon, to use our moral clarity and our deep experience as a weapon not just to save Black people but to save all of these people.
