On this episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jesse Jackson Jr., former Congressman, son of civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson, and author of “A More Perfect Union: Advancing New American Rights” and “The Finger of God.” In 2013, Jesse was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for violating campaign finance laws, and like me, he hoped for a pardon from President Biden. Jesse reflects on his father’s legacy and his own efforts to uphold those values in Congress. We discuss the challenges of public life as the child of a prominent figure, the need for ethical leadership in today’s polarized climate, and the urgency of systemic reform to create fairness and opportunity for all. Jesse also shares his views on mass pardons, criminal justice reform, and the impact of socioeconomic inequality.Thanks to our sponsors:VIIA: Try VIIA Hemp! <a href="https://viia.co/COHEN">https://viia.co/COHEN</a> and use code COHEN!Lumen: Go to <a href="https://lumen.me/COHEN">https://lumen.me/COHEN</a> to get 20% off your Lumen.Subscribe to Michael's NEW Youtube Channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheMichaelCohenShow">https://www.youtube.com/@TheMichaelCohenShow</a>Join us on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/PoliticalBeatdown">https://www.patreon.com/PoliticalBeatdown</a>Add the Mea Culpa podcast feed: <a href="https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohen">https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohen</a>Add the Political Beatdown podcast feed: <a href="https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown">https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
