US EditionJesse Jackson Jr. rebukes Obama, Clinton, and Biden for not truly knowing his father during memorial service
Jesse Jackson Jr. criticized former Democratic presidents for failing to capture his father's prophetic, nonpartisan message for the disinherited, saying they did not know the real Jesse Jackson.
- On Saturday, Jesse Jackson Jr. sharply rebuked former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden during his father's memorial at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters, saying, 'Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson.'
- Jackson Jr. emphasized that his father demanded a prophetic voice for the disinherited, criticizing leaders who 'sold us out as a people.'
- The former presidents' tones varied: Obama was most political, criticizing recent leadership indirectly, while Clinton said he attended 'more as a friend than a former president'.
- The memorial doubled as a call to action, serving as a capstone to a week of services while Jackson's mentees organized efforts to continue his civil-rights activism and allies reinforced his forceful message.
- Plans include a trip to Selma on Sunday, with the Jackson family and mentees commemorating Bloody Sunday; nearly 100 Minnesota activists joined Chicago sessions, while Marc Morial urged 2028 candidates to study the rainbow coalition.
