Rev. Jesse Jackson isn't backing down from his comparisons of Gov. Rick Scott to famous segregationist George Wallace. Jackson took to his Twitter Friday evening to post the following:
George Wallace was a famous segregationist and governor of Alabama in the 1960s, who is notable for his famous line saying "say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."
Jackson was recently in the Florida Capitol to join the protest against Stand Your Ground laws and recently made headlines for vowing to boycott Florida as an "apartheid state."Scott and lawmakers have called for an official apology from Jackson for his comments, but he has refused.
Comments are now closed.
