Jesse Jackson, Sr congratulates his son for expanding the family business
Imagine how proud you must be when the son you love chooses to follow in your footsteps. That’s the warm glow race-grifter Jesse Jackson is feeling right now.
Federal election records show that his son, Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., paid his wife at least $247,500 out of campaign funds since 2001. That includes at least $95,000 after the lovely and effervescent Sandra Jackson was elected to the Chicago City Council two years ago. She received the $95,000 for “political consulting.” Of course, this happened after she pledged during to give “my full attention” to her city council job.
But following in the Jackson family tradition, Junior’s fiduciary fiddling was far from finished.
His committee directed another $298,927 in cash and in-kind contributions to the missus’ campaign fund. That helped finance her city council campaign. Her salary for that plum job is more than $100,000 per year.
The odds of being honest were stacked against this kid. After all, his father is Jesse Jackson, Sr., he’s a Democrat, and he lives in Illinois.
Strike three.
