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.

“... intentionally misquoting this scripture,...”
I believe he’s in the bill clinton school of Biblical interpretation.
Since when would Jack-ass-son know anything about Jesus? His whole life has been dedicated to amassing wealth by keeping blacks hating whites.
When and where was that?
.
What does Jesse Jackson know about Jesus?
I was under the impression that God decides who gets into heaven and that His decision is not by committee or consultation with anyone including Jesse Jackson.
What a hateful thing for a man of God to say.
Is that the same Je$$e Jack$$on who spit in white people’s food when he worked as a waiter?
True Dat
Someone remind Jesse that Jesus was one of those “ hymies”
The last time I checked, Jesse Jackson doesn’t get to decide that.
Thanks be to God
“Rev” Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson and his adulterous girlfriend (whom he paid hushmoney stolen from his own charity) would best not be sizing up peoples’ chances of entering Heaven.
Jesse is playing the odds these days that there is no judgement day.
The Bible describes the Jesse Jackson’s of the world as fools. Every time Jackson speaks, he confirms that Biblical description.
They fit more in line with Herod for killing the first born.
The Devil don’t run hell.
The statues are but a side show.
That’s correct.
Matthew 25:41
Have you talked with Jesus? If so, you know where your resting place will be. Hope you enjoy the heat.
Oh the surprise these despicable humans will get when it is there time
