Jesse Jackson: Government Shutdown 'Rebirth Of The Confederacy'

Rev. Jesse Jackson with MSNBC host Ed Schultz on Wednesday night

Schultz “What is the moral component of what’s unfolding in Washington?”.

Jackson “The confederates are rejoicing, They’re winning.”

Schultz “You told me on the radio you think this is the rebirth of the confederacy,”

Jackson “It’s confederate. It’s states’ rights,” Jackson agreed. “It’s not just health care act, it’s anti-voting. It’s women’s right to self-determination. It’s a whole range of infrastructure issues that made American great the last 50 years.”
