The Rev. Jesse Jackson was among more than 200 people arrested in Washington, D.C., by Capitol Police on Monday while protesting in favor of Democratic legislation.
This is the latest arrest of several this year for Jackson, who joined on Monday other protesters from the Poor People’s Campaign March outside Union Station in D.C. in support of the Democrats’ sweeping election reform bill.
Also in the protest were Lucy and Linda Johnson, the daughters of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Last week, Jackson was one of 39 people arrested for refusing to leave Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s office in Phoenix, where they were protesting the senator’s support of the filibuster.

Arrested, right. He got special treatment and never saw the tombs! Throw this so called celebrities’ into the drunk tank with the rest of the bums. Let their paperwork get lost for a few days, and they get beaten for their meal tray. Let them experience the real jail like regular people!
Good !!! Send him to Prison for TREASON !!!!!
He’s a has-been, looking for some new publicity to keep his face in the news.
Put him in solitary confinement, like the the “terrorists” who were in the White House are now (which BELONGS to “We, the people”, NOT the rich Senators who are so afraid of them).
Let him get a taste of what jail is REALLY like under a tyrannical government.
Blind him, beat him, and deny him contact with anyone for MONTHS.
And then let the jailers DENY everything they are doing, just like in China.
Welcome to the democratic party’s idea of justice.
Racist Hate Monger like Al Sharpton & Farakon & Maxine Watters !!!!!!
Give him the “Andy Defraine” treatment and see how fast he tries to get arrested again!
He was at a Hate March !!! ( Hate White People ) !!!!
