AP Interview: Jesse Jackson slams 'dangerous' Trump rhetoric
ABC News ^ | August 3, 2019 | Vanessa Gera, The Associated Press

Posted on 08/04/2019 3:05:02 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has condemned recent outbursts by President Donald Trump targeting lawmakers of color and inner cities as "dangerous, divisive and diversionary" and says he believes they are fueling white nationalist extremism.

In an interview, the longtime civil rights leader called Trump's vilification of African Americans an attempt to divert the nation's attention from its real problems, including Russian election interference, border detentions and a tax cut benefiting the richest Americans at the expense of the poor.

"The real debate is that a foreign power is expected to be involved in our election next year," Jackson said, referring to former special counsel Robert Mueller's warning of a repeat of Russian interference in the 2020 elections.

They roll this liar back out like he has any credibility.

Remember he got caught paying off a mistress that had his child. All the other women he was trying to hook up with.
He stole 95% of the money for personal gain in his rainbow push coalition.

A total scumbag that lies to the public to pretend he is some sort of honorable person.

He is a total pervert and his son went to prison.

Give me a break!

Jessie Jackson? Is he even still alive?

He hasn’t been heard from him in a long time. Which is good.

Evil, race baiting scum with his extortionist “Rainbow Coalition”. He is no better than Al Sharpton, and worse in many ways with his sanctimonious wrapping himself in his proximity to Martin Luther King.

Here it comes.

1. Two Deep State organized mass murders.

2. Blame the President for his "rhetoric" (can't tell the truth about Democrats)

3. Ban guns (if a Democrat wins the Presidency, expect an "Executive Order on gun control" in the first week, and don't expect the courts to defend the Constitution and our rights. They don't do that now.)

4. Once they get away with taking our guns, expect more "Executive Orders" on free speech, religion, assembly, and just about everything else.

I don’t take this tax cheating old race hustler seriously.

Pay your back taxes, and tell Sharpton to do so too.

Evil men

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has condemned recent outbursts by President Donald Trump targeting lawmakers of color and inner cities as "dangerous, divisive and diversionary" and says he believes they are fueling white nationalist extremism.

For you mainstream media types visiting FR trying to find evidence of racism or Russian collusion, let me point out that in the quote above Jackson has only mentioned 3D’s.

Everyone knowsthat Trump is playing 4D chess.

Therefore Jesse Jackson is fake news.

Remember in the 2008 campaign when Jesse was on an open mic saying he’d ‘like to cut the nuts off that guy’ {Obama) and then he basically disappeared because his son and daughter in law were caught being crooks? Those were the days!

Never underestimate the power that the Surveillance State now possesses.

Technology now exists whereby police can literally see through the walls and grounds of your house, garage, car, shed, and property.

Their strategy for total confiscation will be in increments. They will tie your social security payments, taxes, driver's license, health care, and other aspects to you being quizzed about your gun ownership.

They will conduct many high visibility raids on citizens that they know did not comply.

They can track your every movement. Even if you don't have a smart phone, they can see your every movement. You think Google Maps is blurry as you get to a certain resolution because the technology doesn't allow it to see closer up?

They can track your vehicle license plates to wherever your drive. Your E-Z pass just helps them do this, but they don't even need it.

As they ramp up the pressure, many gun owners will fold.

They won't get all guns in the first round, but they will keep tightening the vise.

"The real debate is that a foreign power is expected to be involved in our election next year," Jackson

I agree with Jesse Jackson. The real debate should be about the illegal invaders interfering in our elections. Illegals should all be deported. No exceptions. Illegals who vote should be imprisoned for five or more years and then deported. ID should be required to vote, whether on election day or in the various forms of early voting. No exceptions.

Oh, Jesse...blah...blah...blah. You sound like Al and all the other worn-out records from the Left. You’ve played the race card so often you’ve worn it thin enough to see through. Rather than address whatever issue is at hand, you haul out the race card in an attempt to deflect the truth of the argument. Sorry, Bucko, time to quit hiding behind that excuse and answer the damn charges.

lawmakers of color

Never mind that the "lawmakers" have spent 90 percent of their tenure attacking HIM. When he fights back, it's "dangerous."

When I find myself getting weary of these people, I need a dose of classic Chris Rock:

Reports of Mr Jackson’s statement were pieced together as those present were having difficulty understanding what he was saying.
