Jackson in the House

Rev. Jesse Jackson has appeared outside of the House chamber. He tells National Review Online that as he walked through the anti-Obamacare rally, he was subject to racial slurs — “words that I have heard for so long, a spirit of meanness and fear.” He says the “ideological lines being drawn resemble a civil war.” The protesters, he says, are being “programmed by the elitists to demonize . . . just Iike they demonized Dr. King and Nelson Mandela.” He adds that he will stay at the Capitol to “watch history.”

Robert Costa was formerly the Washington editor for National Review.
