A commentator known on TikTok as GeeBabyTeaUp delivered a lengthy criticism of political speeches delivered during the funeral service for civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson, accusing Democratic figures of turning the event into a political platform rather than focusing on Jackson’s life and legacy.
The remarks came after a memorial event honoring Jackson drew national attention, with several prominent political figures delivering speeches during the service.
In a statement reacting to the ceremony, GeeBabyTeaUp said the event did not reflect what she expected a memorial for the longtime civil rights activist would look like.
“When I tell you that I wanted to vomit when I looked at Reverend Jesse Jackson funeral, I really literally thought that it was going to be a joyous occasion,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
The commentator said she expected the service to focus on Jackson’s achievements and the challenges he faced during his decades of activism.
“I thought they was going to remember and list down everything that this man had achieved, all his legacies, the trials and tribulations that he went through no instead, these delusional, sorry, stinking bastard Democrats made it about them,” she said.
GeeBabyTeaUp accused political figures of overshadowing the purpose of the event and said the tone of the speeches did not respect the family’s time to grieve.
“I can’t believe you all disrespected that damn man, funeral like that, and I’m not going to shut my mouth up any longer, because that was so messed up,” she said.
She continued by saying the family’s request for the ceremony to remain focused on Jackson had been ignored.
“What you all did, the family couldn’t even grieve, but they basically told you not to pull it, make it political, and you did it anyway,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
The commentator also criticized several political leaders who spoke during the event, including former Vice President Kamala Harris.
“And then Kamala chameleon Harris, the loser that won’t claim defeat. She got up there talking about nothing, because this is a woman who don’t even know what kind of race she is,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
He continued with additional criticism of Harris’ public persona and political record.
“She don’t know if she’s Indian, she don’t know if she’s white, she don’t know if she’s black, she don’t even know. She don’t even know if she want to be southern or northern accent only whenever is she fit. That’s why I call her Karma Chameleon Harris,” she said.
GeeBabyTeaUp also addressed remarks made by former President Joe Biden during the memorial event, arguing that Biden made an inaccurate statement regarding the history of Supreme Court appointments.
“And then last but not least, sleepy Joe, y’all should have left that motherfucker asleep. That man got up there and said that he appointed the first black man to the Supreme Court,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
She then referenced Thurgood Marshall, who became the first Black justice appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967.
“See that’s when the dementia mea kicked in. It was Thurgood Marshall, and Thurgood Marshall was the first one,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
The commentator concluded her remarks by accusing Democratic leaders of politicizing the memorial event and comparing it to what she described as broader political divisions in the country.
“The same way that y’all step on a man’s funeral. It’s the same way y’all stepping on our Americans,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
She also said the public would not allow itself to be manipulated in future elections.
“But we’re here to tell you we’re not taking no from y’all. We’re not going to be y’all weapon again. We’re not going to y’all not going to use us anymore. Y’all not going to use us anymore. We’re not going to allow it. We’re not going to tolerate it,” GeeBabyTeaUp said.
