if he wants to be a MAGAt, he should go for it, but he shouldn't do it with the pretense that he's some kind of benign observer when it turns out he was basically a co-author of that toothless executive order.

What makes it even worse IMO was that CNN couldn't even be bothered to make a statement about the obvious conflict of interest. And the fact that it happened only a couple hours after we learned that the Washington Post had killed a story * by Bob Woodward* in which he exposed Bart O'Kavanaugh as a lying hack? Sad day for journalism.

woman voted? Even if she claimed she voted for Clinton in 2016, can anyone audit that?

In any case, he should have disclosed his role in the policy writing.

How many organizations has he started and then abandoned as he moves on? What qualified him to work on green issues in the Obama administration?

Van Jones was just an analysis for the story he reported. They should have told us that he WROTE the story.
