Jesse Jackson Responds to O’Reilly’s ‘Name-Calling’ and ‘Stereotyping’ (LIVE ON FOX!)



Earlier in the evening Friday, Bill O’Reilly called into Fox News from his vacation to accuse Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others of acting as “racial agitators” in Ferguson, Missouri after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer. When Jackson appeared on Fox later, he offered up his response to the host.

“I think it’s unfortunate for him to name-call and to stereotype in that way,” Jackson told Andrea Tantaros via satellite from Ferguson, before outlining the constructive work he has been doing in the community there. “Michael Brown was treated worse than a dog,” he said later. “It’s just not right, it’s not fair.”

Does accusing African American activists who are in Ferguson of being "racial agitators" sound okay to you?

He's not there to help, he's there to try to make a come back, hoping we will forget.

Jesse Jackson Sr. had to cool his jets for a long time after his remark about Obama. He's trying to "come back" from that.
He was green with envy that Obama was going to be the first black president, something he wanted for himself.
