Van Jones: I Didn’t Realize I Was ‘in a Spiritual Desert’ Until the Obamas Created that Oasis on Stage

‘He reminded everybody of the best things about our families, about our neighborhoods’

EXCERPT:

JONES: “She said, you guys, you know, she talked about the affirmative action of generational wealth. She talked about the luxury of whining and cheating that other people don’t have. But she didn’t stop there. She also called the left up. And she said the whining on the left needs to stop. She said, the Goldilocks, they’re not perfect. This was a masterful act of leadership. It was a sacred task. They took it on well. It was like an oasis. I didn’t realize I had been in a spiritual desert until they created that oasis on that stage, and they did a beautiful job tonight.”
