Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way.""He loved his family greatly, and to them I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. Jesse will be missed!" he continued.Trump used the statement to throw a dig at former President Barack Obama, claiming Jackson "could not stand" him.HuffPost's Kevin Robillard has explained that while Jackson endorsed Obama in 2008, Jackson’s friends told reporters that he thought Obama did not pay him sufficient credit for the ways his presidential campaigns paved the way for Obama's successful run.See All UpdatesClose
