The Rev. Jesse Jackson told fellow clergy this week that President Donald Trump “would not qualify to get into Jesus’ kingdom.”
Jackson spoke Monday at the National Action Network’s “Ministers March for Justice.” During his speech, he equated the Electoral College with vestiges of racism and demanded an end to the system.
In his speech to the ministers, Jackson, who also attacked Trump’s comments following last month’s violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, castigated Trump’s immigration policy.
“Trump says you must be able to speak the language English, qualified and have a job skill. Jesus would not qualify to come in Trump’s country. He would not qualify to get into Jesus’ kingdom,” Jackson said.
Jackson then referenced the New Testament book of Matthew.
“I was hungry you fed me, naked you clothed me, captive and you set me free,” Jackson said.
Many on Twitter were inflamed by Jackson’s remarks.
Jackson also spoke about the fight against Confederate statues and racism.
“We stand against the relics of a war long since the Klan ended. The Confederate flag represents some evil, represents secession and slavery and sedition and segregation. The Confederate flag must come down. The statues must come down. Electoral College must come down. We want a one person, one vote democracy,” he said.

And “wine-maker”!
You forgot wine-maker!
He didn’t even need any inconvenient fermenting period!
Words from a fake preacher who doesn’t even know Christian doctrine. It is by faith, not works, that one enters the Kingdom of God.
Sorry Jesse. You will not have Donald’s company while you burn in hell.
Flashback Friday!

Judge not that ye be not judged Jesse.
By helping get the only nation that defends Christianity around the planet back on track, Trump is doing God’s work.
Jesse? Not so much.
Trump is also doing his best to return us to better values than Obama installed.
Either that or you have the same boot-legged version I do.
“:^)
Jesse you are despicable .. you worked with Trump for years...
political disagreement is one thing but for you to contend you speak for God
The worst part of that story was that to my knowledge he never spent any time with his love child - she lived in another state, IIRC.
God’s self-anointed spokesman speaks.
That ba$tard....I’m talking about Jesse kid
Jesse Jackson. I want to gag.
I doubt that Jesse Jackson knows anything at all about Jesus.
Bad fruit, bad tree. You can always tell.
I cannot say for sure but has Jesse ever bothered to read the Bible much less study it? For Matthew 7:1-5 should be pretty clear for someone who want to hand the title Reverend on himself
1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Jesus won’t let abortion supporters I to heaven. That I can tell you.
