Van Jones to Glenn Beck: ‘I love you, brother’
Ousted White House green jobs czar Van Jones accepted the President’s Award at Friday night’s NAACP Image Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. He ended his acceptance speech with a message “to my fellow countryman, Mr. Glenn Beck.”
“I see you, and I love you, brother,” Jones said to the Fox News and talk radio host. “I love you and you cannot do anything about it. I love you and you cannot do anything about it. Let’s be one country! Let’s be one country. Let’s get the job done.”
Jones also offered “a shout out and a salute” to President Obama, who Jones said is “a world class leader, a man who volunteered to be the captain of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg, and we’re still floating, and we’re still floating.”
“Let’s stay with this president!” Jones said.
Jones did not mention his troubles at the White House, except to say, “I have had 1,000 defeats in this past year, but I had one victory, and it’s the most important victory to me: I don’t hate anybody. I’m not mad at anybody, and I still believe in the politics of hope.”
