He laughably called Van Jones an 'extremist' and the 'cause' was taken up by Breitbart and the rest of their 'army' of morons.
Spence is good friends with Blackwater's founder and Christian Crusader Erik Prince whose 'troops' murdered Iraqis among other things. Talk about extremism.

Rep. Mike Pence, Who Led Witch Hunt Against Van Jones, Took $1000s From Extremist Erik Prince
By Jeremy Scahill
Rep. Mike Pence, an Indiana Republican whose name has been mentioned as a potential GOP presidential candidate (and who is not sure if he believes in evolution), led the witch-hunt to force the resignation of White House Green Jobs advisor, Van Jones, over comments Jones made years ago and a 9/11 “truth” petition Jones signed which he said he did not read in its entirety. Jones apologized for some of his comments, which were made before he took his job with the Obama administration and said the petition “certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.”
.....
Should Pence resign for cavorting with and accepting campaign cash from a man who allegedly “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe,” in the words of a former employee? Oh, right. Those are apparently positive attributes in Pence’s view.
Now he's back, going after Holder. This is what happens when you cave to bullies, they just become bolder.
Dems caved on Van Jones, Shirley Sherrod and ACORN. Notice too that most of the targets of these extremist bullies, are minorities or like ACORN, an organization whose work for decades involved ensuring that minorities were not deprived of their equal rights.
Each one of those 'victories', none of which should have happened, created the impression of weakness on the part of the Dem Leadership and now, Spence is back assuming he will meet zero resistance in his next witch hunt, which is Holder, another African American.
Shame on Democrats though, for not fighting when this all began. And I am glad that Van Jones now understands that you cannot compromise with these wackos.
