Jesse Jackson: ‘Statues Must Come Down, the Electoral College Must Come Down’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

JACKSON: "Today we march for humane priorities. Sessions wants to shift the focus from voter suppression, to voter fraud, which is a fraud. And the deportation of 25,000 Africans, who have received letters to go back to ginny, to go back to Liberia, because the ebola crisis is over. Haitians are being sent letters to go back to Haiti. 225,000 dreamers. He wants to shift the lease oversight -- shift Paul lease oversight. So many Americans today are living paycheck to paycheck. 51 thousands are making $31,000 or less. He pardoned Joe sheriff in Arizona. They are privatizing schools and jails. We need and deserve a better government. The administration has cut back on the flight infrastructure, a budget project advanced by Mr. Obama. He is locking Mexicans and Central Americans out, and weakening the infrastructure in Houston. In this fight to make a more perfect union, we see where our power lies. Our power lies in suffering, sacrifice and protest. We fight fire with water. We fight ignorance with love and intelligence. We fight for specific goals, this year, elections in Virginia and in New Jersey. Evidence of our work today is going back to Virginia, for a bus to her next week for voter registration. We are going back to New Jersey for a batter that last for a massive of voter turnout effort. We fight for morals in Chicago, which will have automatic voter registration at the age of 18. We fight fraud o-matic voter registration, -- fight for automatic voter registration. That he represents slavery, and sedition, and segregation. That flag must come down. The elect coral college must come down -- the electoral college must come down. We want a one person, one vote we want a president to will not embarrass us. Congress must stand for new humane priorities. When the civil war was over, those who voted for secession would not vote for the 13th amendment to free slaves. Those who were embarrassed by Selma, it is not enough to reject Thompson tweets -- trump's tweets. You have to reject trump's point of view."
