The Rev. Jesse Jackson told fellow clergy this week that President Donald Trump “would not qualify to get into Jesus’ kingdom.”
Jackson spoke Monday at the National Action Network’s “Ministers March for Justice.” During his speech, he equated the Electoral College with vestiges of racism and demanded an end to the system.
In his speech to the ministers, Jackson, who also attacked Trump’s comments following last month’s violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, castigated Trump’s immigration policy.
“Trump says you must be able to speak the language English, qualified and have a job skill. Jesus would not qualify to come in Trump’s country. He would not qualify to get into Jesus’ kingdom,” Jackson said.
Jackson then referenced the New Testament book of Matthew.
“I was hungry you fed me, naked you clothed me, captive and you set me free,” Jackson said.
Many on Twitter were inflamed by Jackson’s remarks.
Jackson also spoke about the fight against Confederate statues and racism.
“We stand against the relics of a war long since the Klan ended. The Confederate flag represents some evil, represents secession and slavery and sedition and segregation. The Confederate flag must come down. The statues must come down. Electoral College must come down. We want a one person, one vote democracy,” he said.

The March For Justice was held on August 28th. More info from Al's website here. I did a Google News search for the march and found nothing.
And I’m surprised that the Devil let Jesse out of Hell
Even the Devil had his limits.
What does the reverend Jackson know about heaven anyhow? He probably was taught by the reverend Sharpston. Neither of them will probably ever see it.
They bring up Jesus when it suits them.
Ah yes, Jesse “Hymie Town” Jackson definitely knows about racism and antisemitism that he’s endorsed.
Pardon me, Mr. Jackson, could you please speculate on Bill’s and Hillary’s chances regarding that?
Donald J. Trump is one person that the infamous Jesse Jackson shakedown cannot touch.
It’s ok jesse God will forgive you for taking federal money to set up your mistress and your baby and for embellishing franchises for your family’s enrichment under the guise of being a civil rights activist. The first step is to repent and ask God to forgive you.
FYJJ, you worthless race-baiting never-was.
Poppycock! Does Jackson really believe Jesus does not have command of the English language? Does Jackson really believe Jesus is not qualified and have a job skill? He's the world's Lord and Savior. I'd say that qualifies. In addition, the Bible says Jesus worked as a carpenter.
Pardon me, but I think Jackson comes real close to blasphemy here.
Jesse has not looked in the mirror, morally, in a very long time.
As the saying goes, judge not that you be not judged, as well as the corollary, because of that reminder, that the standard by which you judge others will be applied to you as well.
Jesse should start repenting and ask for forgiveness for the unwarranted so called “Christian” judgements he has made of others.
By your own Jacksonian, your entry has been Voiced!
The march has been a spectacular failure. Somehow, though, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton keep race pimping along, gotta have lots of walkin’ around money.

Lookie here! A Christian zealot trying to impose his morality. Normally the left smugly declares G-D is dead,and Jesus is an imaginary friend who’s father is an invisible, non existent sky daddy. So whenever the likes of Jackson and others from the “Christian left” speak out, then, BADA BING! Jesus is a cool dude.
JJ has lost all semblance of sanity.
Judge not that ye be not judged - I think I saw that somewhere in the Bible....
