Van Jones and 9/11 Denialism
The White House is apparently excusing its green jobs adviser of signing at least one (and maybe two) statements endorsing the denialist point of view on the grounds that he did not appreciate the significance of the documents.
On CNN's Situation Room last night, I was asked about the White House's green jobs adviser's signature of at least one (and maybe two) statements endorsing the denialist point of view. The White House is apparently excusing its man on the grounds that he did not appreciate the significance of the documents. My reply: "This is a man in charge of supervising $80 billion worth of contracts - and your defense of him is that he signs things without reading them?"
