AP Interview: Jesse Jackson slams 'dangerous' Trump rhetoric

1 / 2Poland Roma GenocideThe American civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson visits the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oswiecim, Poland on Friday, Aug. 2, 2019. Rev. Jesse Jackson gathered Friday with survivors at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau to commemorate an often forgotten genocide — that of the Roma people.

"The real debate is that a foreign power is expected to be involved in our election next year," Jackson said, referring to former special counsel Robert Mueller's warning of a repeat of Russian interference in the 2020 elections. Now 77 years old and struggling with Parkinson's disease, Jackson no longer has the physical strength of before. But he maintains a keen interest in politics and on Friday was deeply engaged in his reflections on the Holocaust. After many hours of meetings with survivors, he returned for a private tour of the camp, pressing his guide for more details.

On Trump, he said he finds no subtlety at all in the president's attacks on people of color, including recently on four congresswomen and Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings. Jackson was informed during lunch of a recent break-in at Cummings' home, shaking his head and commenting that it was probably the fruit of growing racism and resentment that he believes was growing silently in the Obama years.
