Biden wins US election against Trump: CNN commentator Van Jones: "When you wake up, you get these tweets ..."
“You know, the phrase
'I can't breathe'
wasn't just George Floyd. * There are a lot of people who have felt they couldn't breathe.
Every day when you wake up you get these
tweets
(...) And you go to the store and people who previously didn't dare to show their racism become more disgusting and disgusting to you, ”continues Van Jones.
US President Trump was repeatedly accused of not distancing himself from racist groups.
Some time ago he said to the right-wing extremist Proud Boys: "Proud Boys - hold back and be ready." Thereupon the
New York Times
reported
that the supporters of the group had hailed Trump's statements as "historic".
In one channel,
members of the group
took the President's statement as tacit approval of their violent tactics.

Van Jones continued on his emotional statement on
CNN
: “You are worried about your children and your sister.
Can't she just go to Wal-Mart and get back in the car without anyone saying anything to her?
And you used so much of your life energy just to pull yourself together.
And that's a
big deal
for us just to find some peace and have a chance to
start
over. "
Joe Biden also wants that: “We are at a
turning point,
” he said in his first speech after the election victory and insists on positive change.
One must now cooperate again,
Democrats and Republicans
work across parties.
He called for a beginning to "end the
dark era of demonization
now here and now".

The
CNN commentator
explains again how important the character of a country is and how important it is to be a good person.
“I just want my sons to see this.
Take a look at this!
It's easy to cheat and get away with something.
But at some point it will come back to you.
It's a
good day for this country
.
I'm sorry for the people who lost today.
It's not a good day for them.
But it's a good day for a lot of people. ”
