Jesse Jackson defends Ray Rice

BALTIMORE —The Rev. Jesse Jackson said former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice deserves a second chance.

Jackson was a surprise caller into The C-4 Show on WBAL NewsRadio 1090 AM on Monday. He said Rice should be allowed to play in the NFL again.

"Ray did something terribly wrong and not only has he apologized with contrition, his wife forgave him, God has forgiven him, he wants to go on with his life," Jackson said. "Give him a chance to play. Why give him a lifetime sentence for that? It's not fair."

And Sharpton still owes 6 million in back taxes and is a frequent visitor to the White House. This makes us taxpayers slumlords.

How old is Jesse's love child now? Is he/she on drugs yet?
