Media Pundit Named in Jesse Jackson Lawsuit
Tamara Holder, a Fox News contributor, is accused of having an affair with Jesse Jackson, Sr. in a lawsuit that alleges the illegal use of a gay Jackson employee to facilitate the relationship.
The accuser, Tommy R. Bennett, was Jackson’s personal travel assistant and ran the legal clinic at Jackson’s organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. He says he was eventually fired for protesting his treatment by Jackson and other PUSH employees and is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
Holder has not responded to repeated requests for comment from Accuracy in Media, but Jackson’s press representative, Lauren Love, says the allegations are false and will be proven so.
Bennett attorney Thomas V. Leverso says that Jackson and PUSH have been stonewalling a legal response for many months but that investigations and the case are moving forward. Leverso tells Accuracy in Media that witnesses have come forward to verify the allegations against Jackson.
Jackson, a minister and Democratic politician who served as an aide to Martin Luther King, Jr., suffered a major embarrassment in 2010 when he admitted to an extramarital affair that produced an illegitimate child.
Bennett worked for Jackson for more than two years and was known as “Aruba Tommy” on local Chicago radio station WVON. The lawsuit alleges that Bennett was subjected to “humiliating tasks” because he was a homosexual, such as “escorting women to his [Jackson’s] hotel room” and then being ordered to clean up after Jackson had sexual intercourse with them.
One of those women, the suit claims, was Tamara Holder, a pundit and criminal defense attorney who claims she “single-handedly” founded what she calls “a pro bono legal clinic at Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition.”

(Left - Tamara Holder) "A self-described Democrat, she appears regularly on Fox News to defend the Obama Administration and other prominent Democrats. 'Because of the Democratic Party’s deep Chicago roots, Tamara has worked closely with some of the City’s most prominent leaders,' her website says."
This document declares, “It was well known that Ms. Holder was a mistress of Rev. Jackson,” and states that the Jackson family was informed of this because of a letter from another Jackson mistress. It refers to Jackson visiting Holder’s apartment, while Bennett waited in a car outside, and “several occasions” during which Bennett “was instructed by Rev. Jackson to escort Ms. Holder to Rev. Jackson’s hotel room at the Hilton at Chicago O’Hare airport.”
“Jesse, I told you to stay out da bushes!”
I guess now we know “where da white women at!”
I’ve seen Tamara Holder on Hannity’s show a few times, she’s a complete dingbat. If she was having sex with Jackson, she probably didn’t even know it.
Pathetic. Too bad we can no longer call a slut a slut.
Je$$e likes the White meat.
LMAO!!!! The ‘liberal pundits’ they have on FNC (especially the women).....ALWAYS look as tho they ‘smell a fart’.
Just look at them.
No wonder she loves Obama.
Another OB for Jesse.....Scipt for this fiasco is better than a soap opera. Jesse, Jesse, Jesse, retire your credentials.
Yep! She’s a big wheel in the ‘Rat party. Sez in the article that she worked directly UNDER Jesse Jackson, Sr.
from Undercover Brother ...”a black man’s kryptonite”.
