Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson has been accused of sexual harassment by a journalist who says the Chicago community leader grabbed her thigh while making a crude comment. Writer Danielle Young, in an article for "The Root," accused Jackson of making the "unwanted" advance and comment during a photo-op after a media event. "I walked toward Jackson, smiling, and he smiled back at me," Young wrote. "His eyes scanned my entire body. All of a sudden, I felt naked in my sweater and jeans. As I walked within arm’s reach of him, Jackson reached out a hand and grabbed my thigh, saying, 'I like all of that right there!' and gave my thigh a tight squeeze." The post included several photos of the encounter in which Young writes "don't let the smile fool you. I'm cringing on the inside."

“He’s ridin’ dirty”

I pity anyone touched by that bug eyed freak!
JJ must have large hands.
Too bad he didn’t remove some hex sided, threaded fasteners a few years ago.
bububut...he’s a reverunt!
I wonder what Tamara Holder has to say about this?
5.56mm
Doesn’t Jesse already have a “love child” by one of his aides, that he’s been paying for for quite some time?
I hope that all these claims don’t overload the public (which may be the plan). I hope the public sees how these people are a bunch of hypocrites who have been lying to cover their own misdeeds.
Shouldn’t this be classified as a standing headline?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you! /sarcasm
I do think that is the plan. I’ve thought that since the “me too” campaign started.
The multitude of complaints desensitizes in the public eye the seriousness of the actual women and children raped and seriously assaulted.
There is a big difference between that and harassment which I’ll bet most women in the work force experience and deal with without even thinking about it.
Yeah whatever happened to Tamera Holder..she just disappeared from Fox News thank goodness..could NOT stand that b*tch
Did he spit in her Food too, or was she a Black Girl?
Just saw the Pic, never mind. She can still enjoy her Food.
Jesse Jackson is a tall man, even given that he may have gotten a little shorter with age. I saw him at a Detroit, Mi. airport many years ago. He’s at least 6ft2 or 3.
So, unless Ms. Thing is an Amazon, a Dane or from the Watusi Tribe, how could Jesse just reach out in front of him and touch her thigh without at least bending forward?
May want to reword that ‘confession’ and try again.
You may just hit the Lottery yet.

Wonder how much infuence the lefts attempt to smear Trump for sexual assault set the ball rolling that toppled weinstein and now so many other leftist hypocrites.
