Ahead of Tuesday’s Michigan
Democratic Primary, Reverend Jesse “Hymietown”
Jackson decided to publicly endorse Comrade Bernie in an effort to blunt Uncle
Joe’s strong support in the African-American community.
“As
I think you well know, Jesse has been one of the great civil rights leaders in
the modern history of this country,” Sanders said Sunday on ABC's This Week.
“What
Rev. Jackson understands is that we have to move aggressively to wipe out all
forms of racism in this country and we need an economic agenda that speaks to
the needs of working people, not just the billionaire class. I think with Rev.
Jackson—I think we got a real boost in our campaign,” he told CNN's State of the Union.
Castro-loving
Jackson noted the Biden campaign never asked him for his endorsement,
but the Sanders campaign did.
Jackson
said the Sanders' campaign responded to his concerns on voting rights, taxes
needed on the wealthy, renewing a U.S. Civil Rights Commission, having a single
payer health care plan and putting an African-American woman on the 2020
Democratic presidential ticket.
Sanders
has also agreed to make sure that black women are in his Cabinet and are at the
highest levels throughout his administration should he be elected president.
With
Kamala Harris endorsing Uncle Joe today, that puts Comrade Bernie in a bit of pickle. Now he’ll be forced to put failed
gubernatorial candidate Stacey “Tank” Abrams on the ticket.
My, my,
my how the worm turns for the hapless Democrats. Bernie loves him some revolution. Looks like Milwaukee could be a repeat of the
1968
Democratic National Convention riots.
