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.

I sure am glad they put up a moronic, insane, and drunk candidate for the first black female for president.
A_shat. I will never vote / not vote for anyone because of their skin color, and neither should anyone else.
‘I’m thinking about the people who are not part of anybody’s elite, who are hurting tonight,’ he said.

Yeh, Van, African American women paying $3.00 A gallon for gas and $5 a dozen for eggs. They’re all broke up because soon they’ll be able to afford a steak on Friday night. 😆
Jones is a dedicated commie. If his voice cracked, it wasn’t because of any sympathy for the American people but because he won’t have a fellow commie in the Oval Office for the next four years to carry out the commies’ destructive policies.
How incredibly racist and sexist on every level.
Thinking about all the Venezuelans Van Jones pushed to get in the USA.
Soon to be sent walking back.
