Van Jones: Obama should do ‘poverty tour’ before paid speeches
“But saying ‘we need a Bobby Kennedy in this country,’ Jones suggested that Obama, who left office with a net worth of more than $12 million and subsequently inked a lucrative book deal, ‘do a tour, go to Appalachia, go to native American reservations where they are shoving these pipelines down their throats and they don’t even have clean water, go to South Central, go to the Arizona border, where you have a lot of poverty.’
‘If [Obama] would do a poverty tour first, from a moral point of view, it would be great for him to do,’ Jones said.”
