Biden, Kamala Honor Antisemitic Racist Who Wanted to Castrate First Black President

The right way to remember Jesse Jackson.

Kamala Harris flew out to honor racist leader Jesse Jackson by claiming that “he defined the rainbow!”

Jesse didn’t define the rainbow, but he did threaten to castrate Obama on live television.

Biden issued a statement praising the racist whose presidential campaign was sabotaged when he used an antisemitic slur.

“The promise of America is that we are all created equal in the image of God and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. While we’ve never fully lived up to that promise, we’ve never fully walked away from it because of extraordinary leaders like Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr.,” Biden falsely claimed.

“Throughout our decades of friendship and partnership, I’ve seen how Reverend Jackson has helped lead our nation forward through tumult and triumph. Whether on the campaign trail, on the march for equality, or in the room advocating for what is right and just, I’ve seen him as history will remember him: a man of God and of the people; determined, strategic, and unafraid of the work to redeem the soul of our nation.”

More accurately, Jesse Jackson was a bigot who stood with bigots like Louis Farrakhan. Here are some highlights about the hateful reverend from Discover the Networks. Who was also a compulsive liar.

Jackson claimed that he was on the Memphis balcony with King immediately after the latter had been shot, and that he cradled the dying civil-rights leader in his arms as he took his final breaths. But in fact, at the moment King was shot, Jackson was actually in a nearby parking lot talking to a group of musicians.

The next morning, Jackson flew to Chicago to make a guest appearance on the NBC Today Show. In the few hours that had passed between the King assassination and Jackson’s flight to the Windy City, Jackson had already hired a public-relations agent to accompany him as he was transported from interview to interview in a chauffeur-driven car. Before a national television audience on the Today Show, Jackson donned a shirt that he claimed was smeared with the dying Dr. King’s blood. “He died in my arms,” Jackson lied.

A black Chicago Tribune reporter named Angela Parker discovered that Jackson, in the aftermath of King’s assassination, had embezzled money from Operation Breadbasket.

At that point, Jackson decided to break away from SCLC and establish his own organization called Operation PUSH (acronym for “People United to Serve Humanity”)

That’s the ‘rainbow’ that Kamala was praising. It was created to cover for Jackson’s embezzlement.

In 1981 Coca-Cola was induced to award a lucrative syrup distributorship to Jackson’s half-brother, Noah Robinson, in order to prevent Jackson from publicly shaming the company for conducting business in apartheid-era South Africa.

In 1998 Jackson tried to block a merger between CBS and Viacom, saying it was “antithetical to basic democratic values.” He made it clear, however, that his opposition would cease if Viacom were to sell its UPN network to either of his longtime friends, Chester Davenport or Percy Sutton. In early 1999, CBS and Viacom pledged to give $1 million to Jackson’s Citizenship Education Fund (CEF), at which point Jackson’s opposition to the merger dissipated.

In December 1998, Jackson threatened to block a GTE-Bell Atlantic merger unless the two parties made guarantees regarding their commitment to minority hiring and contracting. Over the ensuing four months, GTE and Bell pledged $1.5 million to CEF and gave Chester Davenport a 7% stake of their new cellular business. In May 1999, Jackson approved the merger, which resulted in the formation of Verizon.

Jesse Jackson was a lying corrupt racist. So it’s no wonder that Biden, like Fidel Castro, loves him.

In 1984, Jackson took a 300-person entourage (which included Jeremiah Wright) to Communist Cuba to visit Fidel Castro. Upon arriving at the Havana airport, Jackson greeted the crowd of welcomers by shouting to them: “Long live Fidel Castro! Long live Che Guevara! Long live Patrice Lumumba!” At the University of Havana, Jackson raised a clenched fist into the air and again led supporters in chanting those same slogans, in Spanish: “Viva Fidel! Viva Che Guevara!”

Castro, in turn, described Jackson as “the most honest, courageous politician I have ever met.” Added Castro: “He is a great personality, a brilliant man with a great talent, capable of communicating with people, very persuasive, reliable, honest. Jackson’s main characteristic is honesty.”

Sure. If you doubt that just ask Coca Cola and MLK’s corpse. Or his bastard child.

Jackson became one of President Clinton’s spiritual counselors during the Monica Lewinski scandal of 1998. At about the same time, Jackson’s still-hidden mistress, Karin Stanford, was bearing the couple’s child.

He truly defined the rainbow. So many colors. All of them toxic. That’s the right way to remember him.

Exclusive — Rep. Claudia Tenney: Biden ‘Not a Strong Supporter of Israel’

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) of New York’s upstate 24th congressional district said that President Joe Biden is “not a strong supporter of Israel” because of his hostility to Israel’s democratically-elected government.

Tenney spoke to Breitbart News Sunday ahead of the visit Wednesday of Israel’s ceremonial president, Isaac Herzog, who will be addressing a special joint session of Congress. President Biden also invited Herzog to visit the White House — a courtesy he has yet to extent to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite the fact that Netanyahu was elected last year, and that Biden had quickly invited both of his predecessors to visit.

Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Joel B. Pollak asked Tenney about the perception that President Biden was trying to split Israelis, and to back the Israeli opposition over Netanyahu and his governing coalition.

She said:

“It’s very similar to what the Obama administration did. You know, the Obama administration — talk about interfering in elections — interfering to try to make certain that Netanyahu wouldn’t even get elected. … Biden’s doing the same thing. And by inviting the ceremonial president, he’s skipping out the man who’s actually running a coalition government … Prime Minister Netanyahu should be the one who’s invited.”

She said Biden’s approach signaled a “lack of belief in Israel, and a lack of support for our most important ally in the Middle East.” She called Biden’s complaints about Netanyahu’s judicial reforms a “fake complaint,” noting that the Israeli judiciary is unusually powerful, and that Netanyahu’s reforms were actually democratic.

“I think the reforms would be fairer to everyone in Israel,” she said, speculating that Biden was being influenced by members of the Obama administration, many of whom run foreign policy in the Biden administration, too.

She said that American enemies, like Iran, were “emboldened” when the U.S. did not stand with its alies.

The White House said Monday that Biden and Netanyahu had spoken by phone, and that they had agreed to meet sometime before the end of the year, though it was unclear where that future meeting would take place.

Speaker McCarthy Slams Democrats’ ‘Absolutely Unacceptable’ Antisemitic Remarks: ‘It Has Got to Stop’

Antisemitic remarks among Democratic officials are “absolutely unacceptable” and have “got to stop,” according to Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy who slammed a leading Democrat’s recent claim that Israel is a “racist” country.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference at Statuary Hall in the Capitol on Monday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) addressed Progressive U.S. Democrat Pramila Jayapal’s (WA) earlier comments deploring the Jewish state, asserting that it “isn’t the first person in the Democratic conference that has continued to make antisemitic comments.” 

“We watched what they have continued to do,” he stated. “There are a number of them over there.”

McCarthy called on House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to “do something” to prove his party does not align with such antisemitic views.

“I think if the Democrats want to believe that they do not have a conference that continues to make antisemitic remarks, they need to do something about it because they’ve defended these individuals time and again,” he stated.

“The only time action ever has been taken is when we had to take the action,” he added. “I think this is a role for the leader Hakeem Jeffries to prove, no, they are not antisemitic; and they cannot allow their members to continue to say what they have said in the past.” 

Suggesting to “think about what we’re talking about,” McCarthy noted that “what she [Jayapal] called Israel on a week where we have the president of Israel, Mr. Herzog, coming to give a joint session [to Congress] on the 75th anniversary of the creation of Israel, the closest ally,” is only one issue. 

“Within minutes of Israel becoming a country, America recognized it; but now we have leaders in the Democratic Party — she’s not just elected as a Democrat in their conference — she is a leader of their caucuses and she is making these comments,” he explained.

He then highlighted other “antisemitic” statements from Democratic officials.

“Think before of what Congresswoman [Ilhan] Omar had said: she equated the U.S. Military and Israel’s security forces with Hamas and the Taliban,” he noted. “She said support for Israel is ‘all about the Benjamins’ [and that] supporters of Israel have an allegiance to a foreign country.”

McCarthy also cited fellow “squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who once stated she “had a calming feeling when discussing the Holocaust.” 

“Who in their right mind could even say that?” he asked.

Calling out Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) for having “introduced a resolution to condemn Israel and support[ing] Palestinian terrorist organizations,” McCarthy exclaimed that “these are just multiple Democrats on multiple times, consistently saying antisemitic remarks and it has got to stop!”

“These are all individuals in the Democrat conference,” he stated. “Do they think Israel is an evil state?”

“Well, if they believe differently, they should take action against their own for the comments coming from their leadership from within their own Democratic party and that’s wrong,” he added.

On the recent invitation extended to Israel’s president, McCarthy called to “get our history right.”

We invited Herzog in the last Congress to come, based upon the 75th anniversary, so, the President of Israel is coming; it has nothing to do with Bibi Netanyahu,” he clarified.

“But I have said, when I was in Israel speaking at the Knesset, if President Biden snubs Prime Minister Netanyahu, I would gladly invite Netanyahu to America,” he asserted.

In a follow-up tweet, McCarthy pointed to the “long history of anti-semitic remarks” by House Democrats, calling them “absolutely unacceptable.” 

“Antisemitism has no place in the United States Congress,” he declared.

The comments follow Rep. Jayapal’s remarks on Saturday that “we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state” after pro-Palestinian hecklers during the annual progressive Netroots Nation conference in Chicago.

Jayapal, who represents over 100 Democratic lawmakers as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, subsequently released a statement claiming she was merely attempting “to defuse a tense situation during a panel where fellow members of Congress were being protested.”

In another statement, following backlash, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar and Vice Chair Ted Lieu entered damage control mode, confessing that Israel “is not a racist state” after all.

Previously, Jayapal reportedly accused Israel of “war crimes” shortly after visiting Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, prompting then-U.S. Ambassador David Friedman to walk out of a meeting with her.

In May, McCarthy canceled Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s anti-Israel event at the U.S. Capitol scheduled, announcing he would host a “bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the US-Israel relationship” in its place.

Tlaib’s planned event at the Capitol Visitor Center to mourn Israel’s founding was intended to commemorate the “Nakba,” which is a Palestinian term for the creation of Israel that loosely translates as “catastrophe.” 

Conservative American-Israeli columnist Caroline Glick has long accused Democrat lawmakers of hating the Jewish state while blaming the left-inclined media for “transforming America into an antisemitic state.”
