Jesse Jackson Disses Obama Reverend Caught On Microphone During Fox Interview Saying Senator 'Talking Down To Blacks, Wants To 'Cut His N--s'
CHICAGO (CBS) ― The Rev. Jesse Jackson is apologizing for disparaging remarks he made about Barack Obama's relationship with African American church-goers, caught on camera during a break in a Fox News interview.
Jackson made a very crude statement regarding Obama's relationship with African Americans after the presidential candidate made several speeches on morality at black churches.
In a video aired Wednesday night on the Fox program "The O'Reilly Factor," Jackson leans over and whispers to fellow panelist Dr. Reed V. Tuckson, executive vice president and chief of medical affairs for UnitedHealth Group, "See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith based ... I want cut his n--s off ... Barack ... he's talking down to black people." Jackson appeared to make a stabbing or cutting motion with his hand as he made the remarks.
The reverend moved quickly to apologize to Obama and explain himself to reporters.
What's there to explain? He said it!
