Van Jones’s longtime CNN sparring partner Jeffrey Lord marveled over the “miracle” that was Donald Trump’s unexpected success in the polls Tuesday. But Jones himself was seemingly living through a full-on “nightmare.”
Close to 1 a.m. on the East Coast, early Wednesday morning, with several states that were believed to be part of Hillary Clinton’s Midwestern firewall too close to call, Jones brought himself to congratulate Lord on his candidate’s impressive showing. But, as he said, there’s “another side to this.”
“People have talked about a miracle. I’m hearing about a nightmare,” Jones said. “It’s hard to be a parent tonight for a lot of us. You tell your kids, don’t be a bully.
You tell your kids, don’t be a bigot. You tell your kids, do your homework and be prepared. Then you have this outcome and you have people putting children to bed tonight. They’re afraid of breakfast. They’re afraid of, how do I explain this to my children?”
