Stephen Jackson doubles down after supporting DeSean Jackson's Hitler post: 'Haven't said one thing that's untrue'

A day after defending DeSean Jackson for his controversial social media post with a fake Hitler quote, Stephen Jackson isn’t backing down.

The former NBA player made multiple appearances on Instagram Live on Wednesday to speak his mind. He did not apologize for his stance.

“You’re upset with me because I didn’t say what you wanted me to say,” Jackson said, per a transcript provided by The Athletic’s Fred Katz.

He then promoted an anti-Semitic trope when challenged by a follower.

‘You know who the Rothschilds are?’

“The point is, you did not just say to me that Jews are not trying to divide the black community," the person who joined Jackson’s session said.
