On January 26, 2008, former President Bill Clinton said, “Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in 1984 and 1988.” Here is a video of him saying that:
Clinton’s statement has caused most people to believe that Jesse Jackson won presidential primaries in South Carolina in those years. Actually there were no Democratic presidential primaries in South Carolina in either of those years. Jackson’s success in that state was in caucuses (Jackson was born in South Carolina).
Is there any press releases on this subject?
Gee… So Clinton manipulates ‘facts’ for personal gain! Say it ain’t so???
another bill clinton lie, amazing
That depends on what the definition of “IS” is?
How is this news? Jesse Jackson DID win in South Carolina in 1984 and 1988; whether they were caucuses or primaries is irrelevant, especially because Clinton didn’t say they were primaries.
