Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr., a name synonymous with the civil rights movement, has made a notable deviation from party loyalties in his recent political endorsement. As reported by Chicago Sun-Times, Rev. Jackson has thrown his support behind Republican candidate Bob Fioretti in the race for Cook County State’s Attorney. Fioretti, who previously held office as an alderman and has advocated for civil rights, is set to face Democratic nominee Eileen O’Neill Burke in November.
