There's a lot of things that I think you got to deal with. Hillary Clinton had to put down a rebellion in her own party, then she's going to have to put down the [Donald] Trump rebellion and then try to govern.

More quotes by Van Jones
Fighting for and defending the values from the pulpit is critical. You can't love the Creator, and disrespect the creation.
Van Jones
I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.
Van Jones
Distorting attacks when people already don't trust you is not smart.
Van Jones
All humans have fear, and those of us who are fortunate have faith.
Van Jones
If you look at my career over the past twenty years, I've always been trying to look around corners for low-income communities of color.
Van Jones
We tend to overlook the fact that a mature clean energy economy in fact will give an opportunity to ordinary people to earn more money as clean energy workers/entrepreneurs - and save more money, through conservation and energy efficiency.
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
[Donald Trump] is a horrible human being, but he ain't worse than Bull Connor. Fannie Lou loved Bull Connor and beat Bull Connor because she loved him.

Well, we in America are about to break up with oil. Why not break up with poverty and discrimination too?
Van Jones
The Whitehouse is talking different because we are walking different
Van Jones
As champions of green jobs, we're asking questions that progressives should like, like How are we going to avoid baking the planet, and How are we going to create jobs for ordinary Americans? Meanwhile, we're offering solutions that conservative should like. I'm not calling for more welfare I'm calling for more work.
Van Jones
The chief moral obligation of the 21st Century is to build a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. Those communities that were locked out of the last century's pollution-based economy must be locked into the new, clean and renewable economy. Our youth need green-collar jobs, not jails.
Van Jones
I think we were naive during the first two years of the [Barack] Obama Administration because the Republicans didn't fight us on this point during the 2008 Presidential Election. Obama and McCain both ran on a clean energy platform. But now, uncontested lies have eroded hard-won public understanding. So, we have to go back and make the case again.
Van Jones
Higher energy costs are unavoidable in all future scenarios.
Van Jones
People can tell if you don't like 'em. African Americans can tell we're not welcome in the Republican Party no matter how many times they say we are. All the signals that it's a party that tolerates anti-black racism is very clear.
Van Jones
We actually need conservatives to be better conservatives and we need liberals to be better and stronger liberals.
Van Jones
There is, unfortunately, too large a number of people who are just outright bigots in America. They're nowhere near a majority. They're a small number. But there are people who are in the Alt-Right who are just straight up bigots.
Van Jones
I'm the first one in my family born with all my rights. I'm a ninth generation American.
Van Jones
I do think it's dangerous when you are overly secularizing, and sometimes you get very smart, and sometimes [you] gain a lot of smarts, but you lose a lot of wisdom.
Van Jones
The Love Army is a growing network of people who want to stick up for the underdogs in the red states and blue states in the era of [Donald] Trump.
