The Jessie Jackson funeral. Jessie Jr. made it perfectly clear that the eulogies were to be about his father. And told people to not to bring their politics to the service
The former presidents and Kamala pretty much gave the family the middle finger and went full TDS, bitching about Trump. And Junior is pissed. This is not normal behavior.
