Apparently the “experiments” were a resounding success.
Via The Blaze:
Former Obama administration green jobs adviser Van Jones on Wednesday copped to experimenting with some far-left “world views” and “philosophies” when he was younger.
Jones made the admission during an appearance on CNN with The Blaze’s Will Cain, who had pressed him on how much his political ideology reflects President Barack Obama’s White House. Jones has been making the media rounds in recent days to promote his book, “Rebuild the Dream.”
“Your ideology. . . has been very open,” Cain said. “You’ve said you’ve flirted with socialism, communism, various aspects. What I’m curious about is, when you were inside, you were part of this administration, how much does your ideology reflect the ideology of the administration?” […]
“The reality is this: I, just like a lot of people, when I was younger — some people experiment with drugs and alcohol — I experimented with ideas, world views, philosophies. . . . I decided that I was going to do everything I could to change the system, to make sure that poor people didn’t get mistreated. I grew up, I learned, I changed.”
