Van Jones - Former Obama Green Czar, Rebukes Jake Tapper's Criticism of Pres. Trump's Record with the Black Community Van Jones, who declared himself a Communist in 1992 which cost him his Green Czar job under Obama, backed up Trump's record with the black community after Jake Tapper attacked him for his Abe Lincoln debate remark. https://bit.ly/34sFD74 Van Jones said: “I think it’s really unfortunate because Donald Trump, and I get beat up by liberals every time I say it but I keep saying it, he has done good stuff for the Black community,” Jones said. “Opportunity Zone stuff, Black college stuff, I worked with him on criminal stuff, I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formally incarcerated, in the White House, embraced them, treated them well,” Jones continued. “There is a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.” Good for the President, but probably not helpful for Van Jones's career with CNN. Hate is the only flavor they peddle, especially this close to the election. #vanjones #cnn #jaketapper #donald #Pres_Trump
