at his funeral last week. Then he said that Jesse Jackson's family was mad at Obama and confronted him outside the funeral. He said he loved watching it.
I know there is almost no chance that this is based on anything. But if it is, does anyone know what?
He was also extra orange and shiny and told a lot of lies. Not even FAUX would cover it.

(9,796 posts)From what I can tell, Jesse Jackson Jr, is a sniveling little piece of shit who was convicted of campaign fraud years ago and is mad because Obama and Biden wouldn't issue him a pardon. One person disgraced Jesse Jackson's legacy and that person was Jesse JAckson jr.

(24,803 posts)I wonder if there is any truth to that claim that that's why Michele Obama wasn't there. Not that I blame her one way or another.

(15,920 posts)It sounds like Jesse Jackson Jr hasn't truly taken responsibility for his actions. He's just mad that he was punished. That's on him, not Obama & Biden.

(26,844 posts)Jesse Jackson Jr., in his own eulogy at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters in Chicago on Saturday, argued that the former leaders did not truly know his father.
Yesterday, I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson, Jackson Jr. said.
He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or Black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time sold us out as a people.
