In a statement released by the Sanders campaign Sunday, Jackson criticized Democrats who are seeking a"moderate path," instead urging the party to be more progressive and choose Sanders as the nominee. Jackson said he is"enthusiastically endorsing" Sanders because of the senator's decades-long stance alongside the country's black community.
"With the exception of Native Americans, African Americans are the people who are most behind socially and economically in the United States and our needs are not moderate," Jackson declared, two days ahead of Michigan's Tuesday primary.Jackson won the Michigan Democratic presidential primary in 1988 but went on to lose the overall party nomination to Massachusetts' Michael Dukakis.
Jackson took on Biden's claim of having a"black firewall" among the Democratic Party's African-American voting bloc. He cited Sanders' support of a wealth tax and Medicare for All as issues black voters should stand in solidarity with alongside his campaign."That's some of what the firewall needs and that Senator Sanders has committed himself to, and that's why I can enthusiastically endorse Senator Bernie Sanders today," Jackson added in the statement.
Jesse Jackson you are a has been. You can't even be true to your family much less this country. You have no right to an opinion. You are a racist from the word go.
Extremist like Sanders will never beat Trump! Sanders is not what Black people want!He will never drop out and failure is his destiny!!!

Jesse Jackson can’t help black voters
He lies...
So he isn’t accepting any money from the very wealthy, but he is willing to trot them out if they endorse him. How does that work exactly?
Jesse trying to be different and irrelevant at the same time, let's see what Bernie gain from this
And yet, they aren’t voting for Sanders 🤔
How long has Bernie been in office? How many of his policies enacted were signed?
Gee wonder how Jesse got all his money. His kids have all the opportunities of the 1%
Same guy who talked shit about our first Black POTUS.
This is the same Jesse Jackson who gave Trump an award for his lifetime of service to the black community....
When is the last time multi millionaire fraudster, Jesse Jackson helped black voters?
Kamala Harris made it to the top as a Joe Biden 1994 Crime Bill Prosecutor in California. They spent $billions and sent millions of young Americans to prison and took their right to vote for using marijuana. Vote Bernie and end this Drug and Weed War on Humanity.
What have Democrats ever done for Black Americans?
