On his best days, Jesse Jackson’s Twitter feed is an incoherent jumble of poorly phrased left-wing tommyrot. And then there are the days he makes use of the retweet button, sharing messages like this with his 40,000 Twitter followers.

“I suppose u luv booty”? Step away from the Twitter, Rev. Jackson.
That @RevJJackson retweeted this classless and tasteless remark speaks volumes about his lack of character. #Shameful pic.twitter.com/n4CWAxWbK5

Does @RevJJackson hate the Pope? With this retweet it seems like it. #Catholic #Bigotry @Pontifex pic.twitter.com/Yyutoh8Lh4

@akahnnyc I wonder if he was hacked @RevJJackson @Pontifex
— Leo (@LittleOlMe97) May 25, 2014
@leomonte63 @RevJJackson @Pontifex i certainly hope so- but did he not notice it? He's been tweeting plenty since then.
— AKahn (@akahnnyc) May 25, 2014
@RevJJackson so…no explanation regarding the RT to the Pope? Always had you pegged as chicken shit.
— Unfiltered Tony (@TonyJ_34) May 25, 2014
Oh, he came up with an explanation … after it was spoon-fed to him by a follower.
@RevJJackson – will you take the disgusting tweet about the Pope off your feed? Please. pic.twitter.com/ljyHE4IpO8
— AKahn (@akahnnyc) May 26, 2014
@akahnnyc Yes!! We are taking it down now and looking into how it was retweeted. Thank you for alerting us. Thank you.
— Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) May 26, 2014
Promises, promises.
@RevJJackson ok thank goodness- i was really hoping it wasn't you. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Possible hacked account?
— AKahn (@akahnnyc) May 26, 2014
@akahnnyc YES!! Yes!! Thank you.
— Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) May 26, 2014
YES!! Yes!! Hacked!
@RevJJackson not that a hack would be good but hope it was that rather than actual thoughts on @Pontifex .Thanks for your attention to this!
— AKahn (@akahnnyc) May 26, 2014
@akahnnyc Again, sincerely thank you.We would not have known. Please also alert your colleagues. This certainly would not be our position.
— Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) May 26, 2014
@RevJJackson glad i could help 🙂
— AKahn (@akahnnyc) May 26, 2014
@akahnnyc You more than helped. Hope that no one could have believed this was my belief. Keep Hope alive and bless you, my friend.

For the record, Jackson has tweeted praise for Pope Francis.
#Congrats Pope Francis: Time magazine's Person of the Year.
As a human transformer with sensitivity and character he deserves the honor!— Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) December 12, 2013
Happy Birthday Pope Francis!!

But days after his retweet …
@RevJJackson the Pope retweet is still up there :-/
— AKahn (@akahnnyc) May 26, 2014
The retweet first appeared on Jackson’s Twitter account on Saturday night. It’s Thursday and the retweet is still there.
@RevJJackson account still has vicious retweet attacking Pope Francis. Still waiting for removal. pic.twitter.com/iz6luTAVsC

Heckuva job, Rev.
[Update]
Jesse Jackson wishes people would shut up about the pope-bashing retweet he still hasn’t removed.

It took a while, but Jackson has finally removed the retweet from his feed.
