| Description | California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner’s campaign sent out a Web video Friday knocking former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, his chief rival for California's Republican nomination for governor, for past statements praising White House green jobs czar Van Jones.
Jones apologized Thursday night for a series of controversial statements on race and politics that came into focus after a video surfaced of him calling Republicans “a**holes.”
Since Jones’ comments went viral, Whitman has been under fire in state political circles for telling the San Francisco Chronicle in May that she is a “huge fan” of Jones.
Whitman and Jones met during a climate change-focused cruise in 2008. Former President Jimmy Carter was also on the cruise. |
