Foxnews On Media Coverage Of Van Jones

Описание

Van Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, resigned Saturday, following weeks of pressure from the right and a flurry of revelations about his past statements. I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today, Jones said in a resignation letter released by the CEQ late Saturday. 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, he said. (YOU POOR THING) I have been inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to 'stay and fight,' he continued. 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.
