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 Jacksons personal travel assistant and ran the legal clinic at Jacksons 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 Jacksons 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 [Jacksons] 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. Jacksons Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

Clean up??
Grandpa Jesse got a Depends problem going on in the old boudoir, or what?
Heh, they've got Santita Jackson on Fox (one of JJ's many many children, but she's legitimate) about how she feels about Tammy.
