The son of the late Democratic activist Rev. Jesse Jackson slammed former Presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and two-time failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris for callously using his father’s funeral as a platform to attack President Donald Trump.
“Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,” Jesse Jackson Jr. said Saturday at a private memorial service in Chicago.
The grieving son made a veiled reference to Democrats selling outblack Americansthrough their divisive, partisan politics.
“[My father] 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,” Jackson Jr. said.
“[He] demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent, prophetic voice that at no point in time ever sold us out as people,” he noted.
The elder Jackson’s funeral was held on Friday. Hediedon Feb. 17 at age 84 following a long battle with a neurodegenerative disorder.
