22. Van Jones was equally emotional on CNN

In fact, he cried, saying it would now be easier to be a parent, trying to explain to his sons the ugliness they were hearing from Trump and his sycophants. He also mentioned the disrespect he had personally experienced on the street, being called the 'n' word numerous times by total strangers.

There's a reason there were demonstrations of joy and celebration throughout the country today, even around the world. We slayed a dragon, a monstrous Administration threatening to eat the country whole. Despots are rarely deposed peacefully. We've had a major wakeup call, a warning to remain vigilant, always.

For the sake of our children and the future, may we never forget.

I can't tell you how many times I've been on the verge of sobbing today. For the hope of a way forward for my kids and yours, for my baby granddaughter Cassandra.

Today was a good day!
