Even in death, some can't resist turning a sacred moment into a political stage. Jesse Jackson Jr. rightfully called out former Presidents Obama, Biden, and Clinton for ignoring the family's clear request to keep politics out of his father's funeral. After hours of self-serving speeches from men who barely knew Rev. Jackson, the son delivered a powerful truth.These leaders hijacked the service to push their own agendas, droning on while the family grieved. Jesse Jr. made it plain: his father maintained tense relations with the political class not over race, but because he demanded real accountability and never compromised the message.It's refreshing to see someone speak candidly about the hypocrisy. Rev. Jackson fought for principle over party—something these eulogists clearly forgot in their rush to grandstand. Respect the man, honor the family, and leave the campaigning at the door.
