The back and forth continues between to the two Amwerican President’s….
…“Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible,” he continued. “Each day, we’re told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others. And that some don’t even count at all. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated and bullying and mocker masquerading as strength.”
Obama later noted that “it’s hard to hope in those moments.”
“But this man, Rev. Jesse Jackson, inspires us to take a harder path. His voice calls on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope,” Obama said, hinting at his 2008 presidential campaign slogans.
Obama was recently targeted in a racist video that Trump reposted showing he and his wife, the former first lady Michelle Obama, as apes. The video was taken down by the White House after a sea of criticism and complaints from members of both parties.
Biden, Obama’s former vice president, followed his ex-boss with a shorter lambast on Trump, saying Americans are “in a tough spot, folks.”
“We got an administration that doesn’t share any of the values that we have, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating a little bit,” Biden said, adding that Jackson “knew who we were at our best, that he simply refused to let us off the hook as a party, as a nation, or as individuals.”
“And time and again, with triumph and turmoil, with relentless insistence on what is right and just, he helped lead us closer to fulfilling our nation’s promise of restoring the nation’s soul,” Biden said, with those lost words echoing the phrase he commonly used during his term, “the battle for the soul of the nation.”
Clinton, who gave Jackson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2000, also attended the funeral. He made no reference, direct or indirect, to Trump during his tribute to the late civil rights leader.
Trump did not attend the funeral.
Following Jackson’s death, the president paid tribute to him while also criticizing Obama….
