Van Jones became emotional as he thought of the marginalized Americans who feared what Donald Trump would do as president.
Sitting on the CNN election night panel just before 1am EST, knowing Trump was almost certain to win, Jones' voice cracked as he spoke.
'I'm thinking about the people who are not part of anybody's elite, who are hurting tonight,' he said.
'There are African-American women who know a little bit about being talked down to. They know about having their economic dreams crushed.
'They tried to dream a big dream over the last couple of months. Tonight, they are trading in a lot of hope for a lot of hurt.'
Jones mourned that American voters had rejected a black, female presidential candidate and elected a white man yet again.
'They were hoping that maybe this time, this time, one of their own could be seen as worthy. And, once again, they are facing rejection, and that hurts,' he said.
'They thought tomorrow morning they are going to walk out with their shoulders back a little bit. Maybe be able to breathe for the first time, and belong someplace.'
Instead, it would be 'harder than it should be' for them to 'hold their heads up' on Wednesday, after doing everything they could.
But they weren't the only ones hurting, Jones said, as other minorities Trump disparaged during the campaign were afraid of what he would do.

Are we sure he ever had any to begin with?
Just like a good communist.
He wants everyone to suffer, not just a few.
And if the few are better off than they used to be, that’s not good enough.
It is better that everyone suffer than anyone be better off than someone else.
Equity at any cost!
Van Jones is the smoothest liar in Democrat politics.
Not even Bill Clinton of Barak Obama can match him
Did he call the election a white lash again?
I’m waiting to hear from OPRAH, is she going to move because she can never vote again in America?

Feeling sorry for black women...
Says the black man who married a white woman..
"He will close the border to the immigrants flooding over the border taking my job and driving up the crime rate! He will renew the tax cuts that benefit only his rich friends! Oh, woe is me!"
Screw Arnold!
Black? She is only black if you use the old southern Democrat segregationist standard, "A single drop of negro blood suffices to make you a negro."
