Over the last several weeks, Democrats have expressed concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on the Voting Rights Act, coupled with GOP redistricting in states like Tennessee, will disenfranchise certain voter blocs. Conservatives have pointed out this isn’t the case, but leftists insist that Black Americans will lose their voting rights. However, the right says that liberals are just upset that they have to compete for voters outside of racially gerrymandered districts.
The hand-wringing was just too much for one Chicago woman who went full scorched earth on Democrats during a city council meeting, putting leftists who are throwing temper tantrums over voting rights squarely in their place. “The reality is this: black people’s voting is not in danger, and you know it’s not. You know it’s not,” the woman, identified as Jessica Jackson, went on to say.
“I’m 63 years old. I’ve been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting. Now that may apply to my mother and father. It applies to my grandparents. Surely it does. And, in fact, because it does, every single person in this room, including that Jewish lady that just got up and talked really need to be thanking us,” Jackson continued, clearly on a roll.
The community advisor then told the “Jewish lady” that she owed those who were involved in the Civil Rights movement for also securing their right to vote. “You really need to be thanking us for getting y’all the right to vote. For getting y’all the right to be here instead of sitting up here manipulating the Voting Rights Act like something is getting ready to happen to our right to vote, when you know that’s not true,” she said, according to Townhall.
Jackson then slammed Democrats for dragging black people in to basically spew back leftist talking points about how they are going to lose their voting rights. “So now you all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they scared to vote,” she continued.
“‘I just messed up the right to vote,’ ‘women need to vote.’ All that junk, when you know it’s not true. Just like you sit up here and make like black people can’t get ID. ‘Us requiring IDs to vote is gonna stop black people from voting.’ What black people ain’t got IDs?” Jackson asked those attending the meeting. “See, you all get more and more ridiculous.”
“But you can’t, in this room full of these black people, talk about that federal case that just got filed Monday, that’s talking about how you all are stealing property at Cook County sales,” she continued ranting. “Raise your hand that if they told you to come in here to talk about how your property got stolen. Where you at? Huh?”

“Cause we got commissioners in here that know for a fact that’s happening … why you all ain’t in here talking about how they stealing our property? Where you all at?” Jackson then did something that no doubt had Democrats in the room on the verge of blowing smoke out of their ears: she gave a shout-out to President Donald Trump and his efforts to end birthright citizenship.
“Y’all getting ready to come up here to this mic and lie for the cameras to say that black people’s voting is done by this Louisiana thing,” Jackson went on to explain to everyone in the room. “and Donald Trump and the Trump administration. When Donald Trump is in front of the Supreme Court right now, fighting for the Fourteenth Amendment.”
“Saying that black people, that that Amendment was for black people, not for birthrights. Not for people to anchor themselves over here illegally. And they got y’all black people in here ready to talk against him,” Jackson said, concluding with a zinger, stating, “Y’all real sick up in the head. You’re sick in the head and more sicker in your spirit. This is insane.”
