So at trump's deranged "rally" today in in KY he accused Obama of doing a political "hit job" on Jesse Jackson

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.

and he had the crowd in the palm of his hand. I saw no sign of there being bad blood between Obama and the Rev.

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.

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.

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.

The late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.’s son took a swipe at three former U.S. presidents after Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden paid tribute at his father’s memorial service.

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.”
