Van Jones: ‘It Is Bitter in the Mouth, the Racial and Gender Dimension of This’

Jones I think it ░░░░░░░░ gonna be a long ░░░░░░░░ for us to figure ░░░░░░░░ what it was and ░░░░░░░░ t I hope that ░░░░░░░░ goes the way that ░░░░░░░░ said But like I ░░░░░░░░ think it s bitter ░░░░░░░░ the mouth the racial ░░░░░░░░ gender dimension of this ░░░░░░░░ the only way that ░░░░░░░░ can kind of begin ░░░░░░░░ see it if you ░░░░░░░░ t see it right ░░░░░░░░ is can you imagine ░░░░░░░░ woman of color acting ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump acted even ░░░░░░░░ one day The kinds ░░░░░░░░ stuff that he said ░░░░░░░░ kinds of things that ░░░░░░░░ did the way that ░░░░░░░░ would insult people if ░░░░░░░░ re a person of ░░░░░░░░ you don t feel ░░░░░░░░ you have that freedom ░░░░░░░░ feel like you really ░░░░░░░░ somewhat constrained You are ░░░░░░░░ running something in the ░░░░░░░░ of your mind like ░░░░░░░░ am I going to ░░░░░░░░ perceived And also if ░░░░░░░░ say this will they ░░░░░░░░ that all black people ░░░░░░░░ this way or all ░░░░░░░░ are this way So ░░░░░░░░ is a license that ░░░░░░░░ had to just be ░░░░░░░░ fool just to be ░░░░░░░░ obnoxious ass to everyone ░░░░░░░░ for people to go ░░░░░░░░ he can still be ░░░░░░░░ there is nobody who ░░░░░░░░ t have that phenotype ░░░░░░░░ feels that free And ░░░░░░░░ I do think that ░░░░░░░░ I am hearing from ░░░░░░░░ is What do we ░░░░░░░░ to do to be ░░░░░░░░ I mean for women ░░░░░░░░ color people see things ░░░░░░░░ very differently Kamala Harris ░░░░░░░░ is not Oprah or ░░░░░░░░ she is not like ░░░░░░░░ untouchable black woman in ░░░░░░░░ popular but she is ░░░░░░░░ respectable woman and she ░░░░░░░░ somebody who served in ░░░░░░░░ three branches she served ░░░░░░░░ the courts she served ░░░░░░░░ the legislature she served ░░░░░░░░ the executive Branch local ░░░░░░░░ federal She should have ░░░░░░░░ qualified enough to be ░░░░░░░░ to not have this ░░░░░░░░ of outcome So just ░░░░░░░░ me a second So ░░░░░░░░ I think people what ░░░░░░░░ last time Trump won ░░░░░░░░ ran to the economic ░░░░░░░░ The Tea Party was ░░░░░░░░ people they had economic ░░░░░░░░ But the people with ░░░░░░░░ most economic anxiety were ░░░░░░░░ and brown people who ░░░░░░░░ that time did not ░░░░░░░░ the Tea Party So ░░░░░░░░ just don t want ░░░░░░░░ take out many of ░░░░░░░░ can be true at ░░░░░░░░ same time.”
