Jesse Jackson Used the N Word - The View Discusses It

Posted on July 17, 2008 at 11:33 am (PST)

Jesse Jackson has been the center of a controversy ever since it was made public that he whispered into an open microphone that he wanted "to cut [Barack Obama’s] his nuts off." Bill O’Reilly, in the video below said Fox didn’t use the entire clip of Jesse’s comments, because they didn’t want to make him look worse than he already does. Fox also denied that Jesse used the N word, but now we find out Jesse did use the N word. Fox told the Associate Press last night that Jesse made the statement that Barack Obama was "talking down to black people … telling n _ ggers how to behave."

The ladies on The View discussed Jesse, and mostly the use of the N word, in the video above. Elisabeth Hasselbeck got so upset she even cried.
