Van Jones Resigns!
Van Jones resigns. The White House advisor resigned yesterday after the generated controversy after his past activism. Van Jones said in a statement:
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
“I have been inundated with calls — from across the political spectrum — urging me to ’stay and fight.’ But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. 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 has had great success in the environmental movement, but prior to his environment interests, he was a civil-rights activist in California. He signed a petition that questioned Bush administration officials may have been involved in the 9/11 attack to generate war, and had to apologize in recent days.
