In a choked up voice, Jones reflected on the “hurt” that Black women who had turned out for the vice president were experiencing. “They thought tomorrow morning they’re going to be able to walk out there with their shoulders back, maybe able to breathe for the first time, to feel like they belong someplace. There are going to be people tomorrow, we’re going to be handing clothes at the dry cleaners to people who don’t have papers. And they’re going to be terrified tonight.”“It’s easy to blow this off and say, ‘oh the elites, they’re going to get their comeuppance,'” Jones said. It’s the people who woke up this morning with a dream and are going to bed with a nightmare.”
