In an interview with The Daily Caller, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) compared Congressional opposition to the American Jobs Act to the Confederate “states in rebellion” before calling on President Obama to take “extra-constitutional” action to tackle unemployment.
“I hope the president continues to exercise extraordinary constitutional means, based on the history of Congresses that have been in rebellion in the past,” Jackson said. “He’s looking administratively for ways to advance the causes of the American people, because this Congress is completely dysfunctional.”
