Jesse Jackson Jr. took a not-so-subtle swipe at three former Democratic presidents who spoke at his father’s memorial service — Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden — saying they did not know the real Jesse Jackson.
“Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” he said on Saturday.
Jackson Jr. continued, “He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were White or Black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these — those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected — demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time sold us out as a people.”
The sharp opening to his eulogy was made in front of a crowd at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters in Chicago.
Jackson Jr. — who served as a Democratic representative from Illinois between 1995 and 2012 — made his remarks a day after the ex-presidents honored his father. Obama’s speech was the most political of the three former presidents, with Obama clearly dissing President Donald Trump at one point, without mentioning him by name.
“Each day, we’re told by those in high office to fear each other and to turn on each other, and that some Americans count more than others, and that some don’t even count at all,” Obama said. “Everywhere we see greed and bigotry, being celebrated and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.”

A politician will use the deceased to advance their own interests or agenda.
A Statesman will advance the deceased’s interests or agenda.
They considered Jesse Jackson as a useful idiot, as the Democrat Party did.
“I may be poor, but I am somebody”
Obama also tried to mimic Jackson’s voice and cadence. Lot’s of support in the audience for what he was saying, because Obama. But it reminded the time Hillary did something similar before a church audience.
There was ANOTHER funeral for Jackson? What in the world. Why do demonicRATS get so many funerals? Oh. Right. Because they’re not really funerals. They’re fundraising events. Thanks for correcting me, myself. I’m welcome. Any time.
Trump remembered Jackson as a “good man” with “grit” and “street smarts,” sending his sympathies to the family. I’m glad he didn’t turn around and slap Trump in the face after Trump was respectful to the family’s grief.
Junior kicked out some Truthful
Realities that Demonrats disguised.
And of course Biden had to remind them that he was smarter than everybody there despite his stutter and his cleft pallet and his club foot and his peg head and his gout and his ear hair and whatever other challenges he had growing up.
I have no idea what Clinton was talking about. I don't think he knew, either. It looked like he was still reminiscing about those pictures he was drooling over during his deposition.
I was disappointed that Bavin Newsom didn't get a chance to speak. That would've been epic.
“They ‘Do Not Know Jesse Jackson’”
Or his baby momma
It didn’t buy him anything but who cares?
It was a convention of race pimps
“Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” he said on Saturday.
And then his alarm went off, interrupting his dream.
Wasn’t Jesse Jackson’s son treated for schizophrenia?
The Jackson family has suffered enough!
The fire in 08

At 12:15 a.m. Chicago Fire Department’s truck 49, Engine 126 and Battalion Chief 17 responded to a fire in the 2500 block of East 72nd Street, police said.
well, ouch.
One of my favorite Jesse Jackson moments was with Billy Jeff Clinton. The right reverend was said to be “ministering” to Billy Jeff during the Monica “troubles.” There is a photo of Jesse & Billy Jeff by the pool in lounge chairs. Right next to Jesse is a VERY pregnant black woman. The black woman is obviously with the reverend. The woman is also not Jesse’s wife.
Funerally. Commie RATS suck at it. Who’s next?
As he runs for Congress, Jesse Jackson Jr. takes campaign cash from ally under federal investigation
