Jesse Jackson's son blasts Barack Obama and Joe Biden for politically charged eulogies

Jesse Jackson Jr has hit out at several former US presidents over their politically charged speeches during his father’s memorial service. In a speech following the service, Jackson Jr claimed Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden did “not 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.” During the memorial service, Obama, Clinton and Biden all injected politics into their speeches despite being told not to by Jackson Jr.
