Well, he’s a day late and several million marbles short, but Rev. Jesse Jackson has finally decided to way in on Mic-gate:
Congressman Darrell Issa's behavior was crude, wrong, racist and mean towards Congressman Elijah Cummings. Do you agree?
— Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) March 6, 2014
Sigh. This message has been brought to you by the letter “R.”
@RevJJackson Everything is "racist" to certain people. There was NO racism involved. Cummings was involved in Kabuki theatre for the camera.

@RevJJackson no it was not racist. I feel sorry that you cannot see beyond your own racist tinted glasses.

If he weren’t perpetuating the problem, we’re not sure how he’d keep himself busy.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for him to muster up some righteous outrage at Henry Waxman over this:
@RevJJackson What was your summation when @WaxmanClimate threatened to have @DarrellIssa physcially removed? http://t.co/X9U1SrvfL1
— Kathy (@StopFreebies) March 6, 2014
@RevJJackson Is everything racist to you? This is what Waxman did to Issa in 2008. Racist? http://t.co/vfhyQELd03 #tcot #racebaiter
— LostInSF (@Sheinfield) March 6, 2014
So, @RevJJackson, was Henry Waxman then being racists against @DarrellIssa when Democrats were in the majority? https://t.co/X25V5TYkWM

@RevJJackson Remember when Waxman threatened to have Issa removed by force because…racism? http://t.co/0fUh2IAUlp pic.twitter.com/vHna8jPy5X
