Charles, Van Jones says: “In recent days some in the news media have reported on past statements I made before I joined the administration – some of which were made years ago. If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize. As for the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.

My work at the Council on Environmental Quality is entirely focused on one goal: building clean energy incentives which create 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and use renewable resources.”

So of course everybody should just look the other way because he is a good man being persecuted by the illegitimate TEA party movement (because some of those organizing them happen to be “truthers”…so that makes the TEA party demonstrations illegitimate) and those evil repukes. Van Jones is beyond question and we really need to focus the scrutiny on Republican/Birther/Truthers because they just have so much government power right now.
