CNN's Van Jones brought to tears as Joe Biden wins US election

Political commentator Van Jones cried as CNN called the US election for Joe Biden. Jones said: 'It's easier to be a parent this morning ... to tell your kids character matters'. Joe Biden won the presidency by clinching Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes. With Biden’s victory, Kamala Harris becomes the first woman and the first person of color to become the vice-president

These four years have been a worldwide trauma. Mr Jones expresses this so well. Respect!

Now look at the state of the world!… Should be crying now

[BooksAndChocolate]

Watching a man cry tears of joy on live TV is honestly one of the best and most heartwarming reminders that humanity still exists.

This means a lot to everyone in the whole world. I’m celebrating with Americans.

These people are legitimate crazy yo. This dude is pretending to cry

[Skiilow]

This man literally poured out the 4 years that we suffered in 2 minute and 13 seconds. I couldn’t have said it any better than Van Jones.

I cannot wait to see Trump's face as he walks out of the White House.

This, my people, is true strength. He shows his emotions on a topic that's so incredibly important. This is a true man.

[andrewplichta]

I'm crying too bro. We're all crying right now.

[jeirock]

I cried right along with him...after such a tough year, we needed this.

[luniers]

Imagine the rest of world (it's bigger than the USA) being so invested in the US elections, because it affects their lives too.

[imwhereimat]

I too cry after Biden won-because now I can't afford anything

[GraeHall]

I needed to hear someone say this out loud, on the record, and show that it matters. This was heart breaking and cathartic and thank you to Van Jones for being direct, being open and real with his emotions, and speaking from the heart in one of the most powerful and meaningful self expressions I've seen.

Who remembers Trump saying: "Imagine losing to that guy" for Joe Biden? He said that he might have to leave the country. Decency of character does matter.
