TALLAHASSEE - Florida Gov. Rick Scott sharply criticized Jesse Jackson on Wednesday over comments he made this week while joining a Capitol protest.
Jackson spent time with a group upset with the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. They've refused to leave the Capitol until Scott calls a special session and asks legislators to overhaul the state's "stand your ground" self-defense laws. Scott has refused the request.
Jackson, the veteran activist, criticized Florida as the "Selma of our time," referred to it as the "Apartheid State" and made a comparison of Scott to former Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
Selma, Ala., was the site of civil rights protests and clashes with police during the 1960s.
Scott, in a news release, blasted Jackson's comments as "reckless" and "divisive."
"Jesse Jackson owes every Floridian an apology for his reckless and divisive comments," Scott said. "It is unfortunate that he would come to Florida to insult Floridians and divide our state at a time when we are striving for unity and healing. Floridians are a strong, resilient people. We are fortunate to live in a great state where all Floridians enjoy opportunities to get a great job and a world-class education."
A day earlier, Jackson said Florida's environment was "toxic" after the Zimmerman verdict.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted in the fatal shooting of teen Trayvon Martin in Sanford. Zimmerman said the shooting was in self-defense.
Jackson also referenced Wallace, who in 1963 stood in the door of a University of Alabama auditorium to block the entry of two black students but later altered his stance on segregation.
"We've seen Southern governors before change their minds," Jackson said. "Wallace said we couldn't go to the University of Alabama. He had to change his mind."
Interesting headline.
He's a modern snake oil salesman, only worse because he deals in human misery, abject dependancy, and hatred.
It is a shame that so many black Americans have been drawn in by the excretement he is peddling.
OOPS!! Darn it! Here’s the correct headline: Gov. Scott criticizes Jesse Jackson over comments
Jessie has been pissed off for 40 years because he wasn’t seen as heir-apparent for MLK.
Scott needs to fire Witch Angela.
Well, I’m glad Scott has emerged to say something.
He’s been as conciliatory as possible to these creeps because the press has spent much time ginning up hatred of Scott among blacks in Florida, even though he’s been very complaisant with them. After all, it was Scott who took the Zimmerman case out of local control, appointed a Dem-friendly “special prosecutor,” etc.
He’s done all he can do to suck up to this crowd, so now maybe he should just come back and be the Governor of Florida. This means all of Florida, including the European origin Caucasians and the Latin American origin peoples (be they “white” or “non-white”...).
Scott is dumping both “whites” and “Hispanics” in order to court the small group of black Dem politicians allied with Obama who want to make political hay out of this. I’m very disappointed in him because, while I wasn’t exactly thrilled with him initially because I didn’t think he had the clarity of vision to really accomplish his job, I didn’t expect to see him cowering as he has been.
Here’s hoping Scott stands his ground on this one. Jesse Jackson’s in full bully mode. The best thing to do to a bully is bully right back. Push the SOB over the bully cliff.
It would be difficult to imagine a clearer issue than this--although, admittedly, there is great clarity to most of the issues, where Governments have been taking the wrong turn. Hopefully, this will be the Left's "reach too far."

Too many on both sides are playing with the truth of the Zimmerman trial.. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a “Neighborhood Watch”. If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. Particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing.. .
It’s the second time the President of the United States has interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity. Could this attitude be based from the idealized communist concept that there is no such thing as “private” property because the state (collective) owns the land ? .
In both cases those representing “authority” were reported as “white” . In the second case the person working security was attacked after questioning an activity while on private rights of way and allowing the person to continue on their way. Who then doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker beating him severly on the ground and the attacker was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.
In the second case both were dark skined.
Since the Zimmernan not guilty verdict has been rendered, the facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice to be committed of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent.While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is.
Instead the party that hypenated itself from God at their 2012 convention into demo-coms, and believe that all groups should be hyphenated , Afro-American, Hispanic-American, etc..Decided Zimmerman to be the egg that is to be broken,. sacrificed, so that we have an omlet..Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..
Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move,.
Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation and that includes raising the price of transporting gas and oil by rail, that favor a key contributer while recently ridiculing the pipeline, has skyrocketed those costs. Placing many on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts. Resulting from this regimes socialist policies which go blameless.
Now call for the sacrifice of Zimmerman who must die for another communist plan.. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t and never live there.
What should the Rebuttal and counter charge be ?
Why is this being done ? To cover up Fast and furious, IRS, Bengahzi, Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US,over-riding the constittution? Those are blamed on others .But not who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand ? Never looked into either by the House and certainly not even speculated about or reported on by the media. Seems like that could be considered pay back at US taxpayer expence. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ? Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ?
