Green Jobs Czar Van Jones

United States Representative Mike Pence (R-IN) issued a statement on Friday calling for Green Jobs Czar Van Jones to quit or have President Barack Obama demand his resignation. 

"Given recent revelations concerning the associations and statements of the president's green jobs czar, Van Jones should resign his position and if he is unwilling to do so, the president should demand his resignation. His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this Administration or the public debate."

Following is a brief but not comprehensive summary of what Representative Pence may be referring to:

1) Van Jones calling Republicans "assholes."

2) Van Jones signing a "truther" petition (he's number 46 on the list) which stated that the government may have played a part in the 9/11 attacks, and even participated in a "truther" rally.

3) Van Jones saying white polluters are steering poison into the people of colored communities.

By the way, when White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked on Friday whether or not Jones has the confidence of the president, Gibbs simply replied, "He continues to work in this administration."

The smart money says he's gone by the end of the month.
