Van Jones: ‘Despicable’ Republicans, Tea Party Are Intentionally Hurting Americans Economically For Political Gain - Can you say 'projection'

Jones explained they have been implementing a “bodies on the beach” strategy where “they” think that the more bodies that pile up on the beach, the more likely people will want to “fire the lifeguard” — or in this case, vote Obama out of office.

“They want Obama fired, so they don’t care how many Americans are in economic pain. The more Americans, in fact, that are in economic pain, the more they see for themselves in political gain. And that’s why you’ve seen, not just the Tea Party, but the entire Republican party refuse to step up to the plate on common sense stuff like tax cuts for small businesses, tax help for veterans,” Jones said.

Jone continued: “You Go down the line and you’ll see that things Republicans stood for, they now stand against and won’t pass in this Congress because they want to hurt the American people economically so they can gain politically. That’s not just the Tea Party.”
