Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said it was understandable that politics entered the memorial service for civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, even after Jackson’s son urged speakers to avoid partisan remarks.

“If you go to a Democratic political event today, it is very likely to be Trump, Trump, Trump,” York said on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom Monday. “The president dominates all of our politics, and certainly the opposition party’s politics.”
