But other than that, my couple or few attacks on Van when he has praised SHITLER are here proved out. The poster who flamed me for attacking him whom the flamer considered some kind of saint, should have more targets for flaming now.

Van Jones "understood that he was going to get in the way" of President Barack Obama's agenda, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Sunday.
...
Jones, who specialized in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality, was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.

Gibbs said Obama did not endorse Van Jones' comments but thanked him for his service.

"What Van Jones decided was that the agenda of this president was bigger than any one individual," Gibbs said on ABC's "This Week.

He does everything he can to cover up Trump's crimes. He'll only get worse as the election draws nearer.
