Jesse Jackson, Jr. made his intentions clear regarding his famous father’s funeral.
No politics, please.
Three Democratic presidents ignored his plea.
Presidents Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama spoke at the ceremony honoring Jesse Jackson’s momentous life. All three used the bully pulpit to either attack President Donald Trump or insult their own country at Reverend Jesse L. Jackson’s Peoples Celebration of Life and Homegoing Services March 6.
The late leader’s son wasn’t pleased.
“Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson.”
Nor was comedian Adam Carolla, who didn’t hold back while discussing the funeral and Obama’s post-presidency with conservative talker Jesse Kelly.
“He’s like the quiet race hustler,” Carolla said of Obama, who routinely made race-based matters worse both during and after his presidency.
Just ask his “son,” Trayvon Martin.
“He’s not big and blathering. He seems calculated, and also he speaks in a cadence where you go, ‘this guy’s got wisdom. This guy knows what he’s talking about.’ But all he does is race hustle, beat up this country and lie.
“He’s the first black president. It could have gone so differently,” Carolla continued. “He really could have been impactful, a man in his position … he and his wife, who’s worse than him, all they do is sit around and bad mouth this country and tell us how bad it is.”
Adam Carolla: Obama is a Michelin-rated word salad chef.@adamcarolla “Obama never says anything; he just says junk, but it comes out in a way that’s much more hard to detect and much more palatable.
He’s an idiot and a race hustler, but he’s skillful that way.” pic.twitter.com/Ob9EDZyz3B

“It’s historically disappointing, because he could have really been an agent for change. He could have said, ‘Look, every country has a past and we all have our sins, and we don’t forget it. But I was a two-time president, you can’t say this isn’t the greatest country in the world.’ But he doesn’t miss an opporutnity to bash this country and talk about what a piece of s*** it is.”
He then played a snippet of Obama’s funeral speech.
“Each day we wake up to some new assault on our Democratic institutions,” Obama said at the funeral, going on to suggest the current administration diminishes some Americans over others. No further clarification was offered.
Of course.
“He just causes more anger and division and then claims the other side is causing the anger and division,” Carolla said.
