You see Van Jones all the time on CNN, but some of us still can't get past his role as President Obama's Green Czar. Jones resigned over the Labor Day weekend in 2009 following criticism and outrage over his radical positions. (Here's the archived report on Politico.)
From cleveland.com today:
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two
prominent political commentators will take a quick hiatus from cable TV next
week to debate the election at Baldwin Wallace University instead.
Newt Gingrich, the former U.S.
House Speaker who has emerged as a prominent supporter of Republican nominee
Donald Trump, and Van Jones, the former environmental adviser in President
Barack Obama's White House who now supports Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton,
are scheduled to appear at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29 at BW's Ursprung
Gymnasium, 136 E. Bagley Rd. in Berea.
The two, who previously
co-hosted "Crossfire" on CNN, will discuss the impact Clinton and
Trump's policies could have on Ohio and its economy, according to university
officials.
The university booked the two
to appear last year as part of the BW School of Business Leadership Lecture
Series. It just so happened that both have emerged as prominent voices on this
year's election, particularly Gingrich, who was discussed as a possible
vice-presidential candidate for Trump.
. . .
The university already has
distributed 2,000 tickets — the gymnasium has room for about 1,500 more people.
Tickets are free, but are limited to four per person.
