Van Jones: Criticizing boondoggles like Solyndra is 'putting America down'

If there’s one person you can expect to stand up for America, it’s the “progressive” former Obama administration “green jobs” czar Van Jones.

Last month, the White House tweeted the above defense of “green energy” initiatives that have dragged billions of taxpayer dollars down a sinkhole. Today, a tweeter took issue and mentioned the Solyndra boondoggle:

@whitehouse @VanJones68 You did act on climate, Solyndra is a prime example. http://t.co/DsVlJuZCi4 #Fail

That tweet drew a response from Van Jones: Stop hating on America, pal!

.@baldwin100 / No,TESLA is prime example! Plus many others: 96% success rate from Obama clean energy investments. Quit putting America down!

Blind support for “green jobs” money pits = the new patriotism.
