JACKO MAKES POLITICAL CAPITAL
Surrounded by crowds of cheering fans, Michael Jackson was back on Capitol Hill, Wednesday.
The pop star met with lawmakers for a second day in a row, taking a break from his legal troubles in California to confer with several leading black lawmakers about his upcoming trip to Africa.
Jackson is planning to visit Africa later this year to help publicise the effects of AIDS and economic deprivation in Africa.
Jackson had wanted to meet with the full 38-member Congressional Black Caucus at its Wednesday meeting, but leaders turned him down, saying they were too busy dealing with legislative issues affecting black Americans.
Jackson was charged last year with seven counts of committing lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under age 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent to the child. Jackson has pleaded innocent. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Friday.
Several caucus members, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was no upside politically for them to link their name to Jackson by holding a high-profile meeting with him. They also noted that Jackson has never donated any money to their causes and has never asked to speak to them before now.

[@larelami1388]

Michael Jackson was ok, he wasn't high on any alcohol, he is simple, fun to be with. He clap louder and clearly supporting his up coming journey to Africa for prevention of Aids and to things to do to boost economic development. MJ was a godly humanitarian and the greatest of human on earth with a pure godly soul. The world misses him most. Despite all he went through in the hands of the wicked people who accused him wrongly and the press and people who jilt and extort money from him, MJ was still loving, caring, sharing, giving, and encouraging for faith and hope in God. He gave all his good heart and share all his riches until his last breath on earth! What a godly man. Rest forever in peace Michael Jackson the king of pop and perfection, forever rest in God's arms. Amen🙏

[@codychavarria6088]

Michael was a real ambassador throughout the world even here in America after all the things That the media and the public said ended to him he was still trying to do the right thing and forgiving. How is he not black or wanted to be other than people have serious issues. He's done more for many and across the world the most artists and people in the movies have done all together.. And he did it just because and not for popularity or saying Hey look at me he was a real philanthropist humanitarian A human being

He clapped loudly cause he was probably high but it's okay. He's allowed to do whatever he wants and have some fun once in a while after all he went through. He was strong and I will forever love him for that.❤😙

[@AC-mp7cx]

who said hes high

[@allthingscreative1631]

It seems he clapped loudly because not enough people were clapping for the cause. Like he said it wasnt loud enough.. Elizabeth also supported this cause so I'm sure having him apart of it helped her too. He actually didn't look like he had taken any meds here but thata just my opinion.

MJ was high as a kite! The clapping and inappropriate hand gestures during the press conference told me that. MJ sober was always very quiet and respectful.

[@kaylenejantjes8113]

Maybe, hey?

[@Zzucia]

@Jarred Knox I think he was worked up or irritated.

[@claricelyles8398]

@@Zzucia I agree.

[@lakikentaki]

I didn't see any inappropriate hand gestures. And that loud hand clap was obviously making fun of the underwhelming reaction from the public on his upcoming humanitarian efforts for Africa.
