TL;DR Summary
At Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.’s memorial service in Chicago, his son Jesse Jackson Jr. took aim at Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden for not truly knowing his father, even as Obama, Clinton and Biden delivered tributes.

The Jackson family had asked attendees not to bring politics; Jackson Sr., who founded the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, died February 17, 2026. Jackson Jr. previously served as Illinois’ congressman from 1995 to 2012.
