'The Anti-MTG': How Rep. Jeff Jackson became TikTok’s most popular lawmaker

- “I think it sort of disproves the general model of politics, which has been you have to be outraged in order to be amplified,” says Rep. Jeff Jackson on the success of his TikTok videos. “There’s no way that these videos are getting this kind of traction if the old model of outrage politics is universally true.”

Calm, collected, and well spoken, how a congress person should act.
And why don't we see this type of congressman on the nightly news other than all the loud mouth
@@gpwede9855 He's not auditioning for a future job at Fox "News" He's actually taking his job seriously.
@@gpwede9855 Nuez makes more cha-ching on the outrageous screamers
@@gpwede9855 Because he doesn't keep most of their viewers glued to the tube, money talks.
@@gpwede9855, Outrage is an easier string to pull and easier to sell. Unfortunately, to many Americans are ok with it and keep voting the outrage machine in.
People like him. He is rational. Even minded. Fair. Understandable. AND not Crazy.
That Crazy is now a good idea is quite amazing...
@@terrancestodolka4829 it very sad 😢
Much like the persona we saw in Adam Kinzinger. We didn't necessarily agree with Kinainger's politics, but his measured, reasonable, calm demeanor made him a welcome member of the 1/6 Committee.
This is the first time I've seen Rep. Jackson and already he's giving me Presidential vibes. The way he presents himself, his rational process, his calm demeanor, his tone and temperament... he already looks and sounds like a future President.
This guy is going to go far and I look forward to seeing that journey.
Got the same vibes. Time to do more research on his background. I like what I see and hear so far though.
EXACTLY what I was thinking!
💯💯💯
@@Aurorae I'm just glad to have another sane congress person there in the House!
Man we really need a leader with composure, intelligence, dignity. I'm going to follow him closely and make sure I agree or at least am willing to compromise with his ideas and beliefs. Hope to see more of him.
Speaking for many people I talk to, and my own opinion: we are exhausted by all of the “outrage and anger” rhetoric. What a breath of fresh air Jackson is!
A zillion thank yous for pushing back on these dangerous fascist Gop Congressional members!
Her constituents elected her. You sound like the fascist.
Buzz word of ths week?
@@gab4690 Can you define "woke" for me?
@@gab4690 Nope, fascism fits perfectly.
@@gab4690 I didn't think so...
I love the candid way Mr Jackson explains how he discovered that explaining things to people truthfully but dispassionately is the best way to get his message across and that this is what people want, as opposed to the Reps’ fake outrage.
My goodness, are reasoned voices finding an audience again in US politics? I’m here for it
Let's please go back to sanity 🙏
Let this man run for President!
OMG as a Vietnam Era Vet...it is such a breath of fresh air to listen to someone that is so positive in ways to deal with issues.
Thank you for your service sir.
@@pooroflevi thank you, that is very nice of you to say. hugs
I was going to write something very similar to that. Although I'm not a Vet. I also am thrilled to listen to a clear straightforward talker.
@@kevinleatherdale1743 you do not have to be a Vietnam vet to make a difference...keep fighting the good fight my friend.
@@josedelatorre2569Thank you for your service and I want to apologize for all of the hatefulness that you may have received on your return stateside. I was born in the middle of the war (68), but I have heard about the abhorrent treatment towards the veterans coming back. No one who was fighting a war, in those horrendous conditions, on behalf of this country should not have been treated as though the war was all your idea and not those in power.
Thank you again.
A very grateful American!🇺🇲✌🏼
Now if we could get more like him.
I'm not sure how to process waking up to this sensible talk. I'm going to go to work feeling a little out of sorts but in a good way. This young man has a new follower and I am so appreciative that this network is taking the time to highlight the many representatives out there like this that are doing the hard work for us and not making spectacles of themselves for personal gain.
As an Army veteran, I can see his military training and bearing. Great job!
You had me at Anti- MTG 👍
Empty G makes my blood run cold with her "practiced" poses for the camera and lately "liar" repetitively" oozing out of her poisonous lips. Yucky.
Agreed.
I learn from Rep Jackson every week and I'm not even one of his constituents. Well done, Sir!!
As a part of Ms Cothams district and as someone who voted for her and has for years, I feel angry, shocked and duped. We love jeff here in Charlotte and NC. He literally knocked on everyone’s door in his district when he was running for the state legislature. Love his kind, open, straightforward updates.
She’s a glaring example of hypocrisy--one of the reasons so many people don’t trust politicians.
Is it possible that the GOP has something on her that would be embarrassing if it came out? You have to wonder about a U-turn this abrupt.
If you decide to switch parties then it needs to be mandatory that that person resigns and a new election.
I agree.
$$$$$$$
No, in this country we vote for the person, not the party. If you want to vote for a party, not a person, move to a country with proportional representation.
@@deborahfreedman333 That's total BS. If she had of been running on a GQP ticket she would never have won.
@@deborahfreedman333 What a load of crap.
I have been so angry with her flipping and denying her constituents. She should be investigated because I'll bet her bank account is flush with benjis.
I’ve been thinking exactly that. I think she’s been bought. When a rep. wants to switch party, they should go through an election. It’s a minimum respect for the people.
She should have had to resign bc the people voted for a democrat and what she said she would do when they voted for her. Anyone like her should HAVE to resign. Period.
I'm guessing she got more Andrews and Ulysses(try that one spell check) because they look at you funny when you try to use a Benji. Harder to launder.
Investigate prosecute convict and jail MTG
That's just so wrong when she ran as a democrat than flipped,she is breaking her promises to all the people who voted for her,they should demand she resign just like Santos is being pressured to do.
We need more of people like this in our political realm.
Love Jeff Jackson! He was our only hope in NC when shenanigans were going on in Raleigh. He kept us informed every step of the way during big legislative battles. Miss him in our state house but glad he's getting recognition in D.C.
This is the first time I'm seeing this man and my first impression is that he has greatness written all over him.
Jackson 2028 …
I hope he goes all the way!
He’s the real deal. He’s not my representative but from my state. He is wonderful!
Agreed he looks like a well endowed future presidential candidate and would probably win with his calmness, bipartisanship and good looks. Democrats keep him in your front view mirror.
I totally agree. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Rep Jackson is marvelous as a human being and a politician. He promised to visit all 100 counties in our state and he did it. Some friends and I had the honor of seeing him in one of his town halls and we are so glad he represents NC. Charlotte is lucky to have him.
Yet that Trumpy jerk Ted Budd was voted in. Sick of it
When the Red counties* gets to FULL power and there's no non-loyal police, he'll probably get deposed. Unless we are ready for the capitol, with a military (loyal to the constitution and not a guy or a flag) on Jan 6th 2024.
Good for you to have him. 👍💙
Wow! That's awesome. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Yes we are😊
Jeff Jackson is the real deal. Thanks for helping get the word out about this incredible legislator. We love him here in NC and hope he becomes president someday.
This guy is going places! We need more like him! Good Luck, from a fellow veteran (Viet Nam).
Being a retired disabled military veteran, and from N.C. Thank you congressman Jeff Jackson...
Why do you feel that you need to lie?
What are your thoughts about the state elected official that flipped to the Republican party exhibiting the opposite actions promised to her constituents during her campaign? I am not familiar with the political context unique to North Carolina. We had a candidate that had previously voted for Trump who attempted to run in our Democratic party primary for Senator against Victoria Sparks. I did not believe him for a minute and believe he was trying to be a Republican Trojan horse.
@laryjohnson5736 dude, go troll elsewhere. The liars in Congress are MTG, Boebert, and every other MAGA cult follower. Trump lied more then 30k times during his failed presidency. We have the receipts for them, do you have any proof the OP lied? I highly doubt it.
@@Zory2871 What grade are you in? You haven never listened to aoc or any member of the squad.
@@laryjohnson5736 I'm in the second grade. um I think you spelled larry wrong mr. turd-green
This nation needs more representatives like Jeff Jackson.
Yes!
Why not go for president?

You mean intelligent balanced decent human being. One who cares about those who elected him to represent them

He is what the country needs right now and I hope there are plenty more of him
Wow. Just wow.
If you want someone to listen to you, whisper. I'm 65 years old, and I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Thank you Representative Jackson. You bring me hope for the future of our country!
Her finances should be investigated and an ethics committee should definitely look into her.
Why, because you don't like her, and want to use the justice department as a weapon? That is exactly the sort of banana republic garbage Trump was pulling. It is wrong.
I agree she probably was bought. It wouldn't be a surprise.
Greeny should be transported back to her neanderthal cave
To stop fur her contamination asap
because you like aoc?
@@laryjohnson5736 random 😂
As a North Carolinian, I've followed Jeff for years. I'm ecstatic that he's getting this well deserved national attention.
Thanks for highlighting another “rising star” in Dem party. I’m now following Jackson on CZcams (I don’t TikTok) because of this segment.
I wish all representatives would do this. It is what we need.
Explain its fake outrage from both sides? How many times does it need to be explained?
@@middle_of_the_road sitting on the fence without any coherent ideology doesn't make everyone else a phony, it just makes you gutless
@@middle_of_the_road bUt BoTh SidEs!!1
@@middle_of_the_roadIf you're faking outrage at all the senseless gun violence, the antisemitism & everything Donald Trump represents then you're a clown & should probably let the adults do the thinking for you.
Sadly nothing will reach the people who have succumbed to brainwashing. There is always a point when they make a choice. If I hear Jordan or Carlson I change the channel. I know their presentation is full of lies. Their raging rants are
unbearable. The brainwashed are responsible for choosing to listen to what are clearly crazed people full of hatred. That's what they chose. They are culpable, they are not innocent.

Kudos to Jackson!🎉🎉
And yes, there is room for respect!
What a nice well educated young man, he is a breath of fresh air.
I've met Jeff on one of his campaign tours(all 100 counties in NC). He is always like this, telling it like it is without yelling. Thanks
You’re lucky and thanks for voting him.
Jeff came by my house twice in the last decade. He talks with EVERYONE in his district that he can reach.
Jeff Jackson is Pete Buttigieg Jr. (with an easier-to-pronounce surname).
@@HRHDMKYT Pretty close to that, except straight with an attractive wife and good looking children. He has essentially nothing about him that a conservative wouldn't like, except for being a Democrat.
Yes, Jeff is a breath of fresh air. Hearing the truth, is so refreshing...go Jeff!!
Media should give more people like him a voice
Great interview Chris- we need more young people like him
In congress.
I agree it was a great interview. It's not Ari though. It's Chris Hayes.
Are you human? Look at the bright line between comments and likes the actual humans and the robotic circle-jerking sock puppets.
About 15% might be human. But the google likes to censor the humans.
Can you believe the google is profiting from the fakes? Me neither.
This guy is on too something. This is what leadership looks like. Pure simple facts, truth and sincerity.
Let's hope he starts something great now.
Leadership? How refreshing!
He presents like a stereotypical politician to me. The kind that Republicans might vote for. For better and for worse. But he does seem to have some good substance underneath the bland exterior.
@@markschmidt4086 Funny his policies sound fairly progressive, I don't understand you people honestly. You think somehow if you cry a ton you will get this miracle candidate that's perfect. That candidate doesn't exist. When you vote to elect someone you should be voting on which candidate has more pros vs cons. Your perfect candidate could be the next person last choice, because we all have different lives and needs. It's the will of the majority that wins, not the loudest voice in the room. To get elected outside of select voting districts you must reach beyond just democrat and republican voters and that's all the extreme candidates get anymore. Independants don't want extreme voices.
Yeah whatever you say bud
Never heard of this guy til now. Kudos to NC for this breath of fresh air.
Jeff Jackson has been a breath of fresh air for many years here in North Carolina. What a blessing for our country that he now serves in congress.
Wow. I hope we get to hear from Jeff Jackson for years to come and I would hope he, or someone like him, moves up the political ladder.
We need more of him to take the trash out of the offices
TR45H piled up 😂
Civics teaching needs to be returned to our citizens this is what he does in explaining in a logical normal manner. Thank you Sir!
Many people slept through the course.
Guess why some state wants to censor what is taught in Civics and AP courses
We can thank Reagan for his initiating the destruction of our education system.
He sounds like a school teacher.
@@markberryhill2715 well he is former military but to your point, we need factual education in this country vs book banning. Students are more and more being left behind thus our society is also
I have to keep watching this over and over because I can't get enough, it's so refreshing. He's right, there is a need for, and a high demand for calmly-delivered information. I hope we will see a lot more of Jeff Jackson in the coming months.
LOVE HIM, he is so grounded, and informative!
Rep. Jackson looks so normal and sounds so rational it’s scary.
I can see why people think he's a Russian bot until they see him in person. (I still think he is,lol)
Not scarey, very refreshing, and welcomed hugely.
@@markberryhill2715 Yea right. Just can't handle a man with ethics and honor and who believes in democracy.
@@markberryhill2715 How completely transparent and pathetic to call everyone who opposes you bots and groomers, it's all Republicans know how to do.
He has been like this since he served in North Carolina for the last 10 years. Congress has not changed him a bit.
Yay! Thank you for letting the public know this. It is so aggravating to watch these angry, bullying, and belittling people who use their time to pretend they want an answer to their questions, but never give anyone a chance to answer. It is quite rude to demand these people show up to answer questions, only to be made to sit there while these members of congress ask and answer their own questions in the most rude and demeaning manner possible. Is it any wonder our country has such a problem with violence. As a shy person who was bullied and belittled by my peers growing up, these actions by these congresspeople is quite triggering.
Well said Karen, I hope the world treats you well, and being bullied and belittled is a thing of the past. Best Wishes from Australia. 👍🤓
Oh I can so relate! I get so angry! MTG has always been a bully. You can see it. Some of the others, too.
Karen, I was bullied in school as well. It's okay to not listen to the angry, outrage, hate machine that wants to destroy our country. I wish you well, my blessed friend. Vote 💙 💙 💙!
Thank God. A stable, ethical, moral representative. State and federal politics have gone way off the rails as far as integrity and honesty are concerned. So many hateful, evil people wanting to tell the rest of us how to feel and live. We need more intelligent, stable people like this gentleman working for us.
Short staffed is an understatement. It was short staffed long before I retired from the VA in 2015. The ability of medical providers to provide the kind of care they WANT to provide has been undercut by the continuous cuts, hiring freezes, and such that they can currently only spend about 20 minutes with each patient. If you are a new patient to them that time is not enough to get a full and comprehensive medical background done at all. Their ability to provide in-depth progress notes has also been undercut. Lack of nurses, physicians, physical therapists, clerical support, maintenance, etc. hurts us all. I spent 7 years in the Navy in the 70's and have gotten my care at the VA here for the last 15 years at least. Prior to that I had a civilian provider. Working there and getting my care there I have seen both sides of the equation and it is not very pretty. Kevin McCarthy and his cohorts need to stop stabbing veterans and the VA in the back and keep the promises that this country made to every veteran who gave their lives to its service and protection.
Also getting hired at the VA is a cumbersome process. This is one of the reasons they are short staff. The multitude of paperwork and background checks is exhausting. I can understand the need because of "national security," but most Doctors and nurses can get better pay elsewhere with less hassle.
As someone who works at the VA, those words have come out of my mouth. I tell our veterans exhaustively "you have to hold this system accountable, because you deserve the best care possible." I am leaving the VA after 16 of the longest months of my life. The system and infrastructure are antiquated, which puts unneeded pressure on us providers. Thank you for your service, Rep Jackson. Veterans: please, keep demanding more from your Healthcare. Don't let the system get by with giving you the minimum.
I'm not a nurse, I'm not a medical professional of any type, all I did was to volunteer at a VA in Colorado. The care, concern, the respect due our Veterans was missing. So many were treated as if they were whiny children. It upset me to be a part of such terrible treatment. When I spoke out, I went from being super busy during my volunteer hours to not being needed.
Sorry to hear the negative experiences. I am a veteran who has profoundly benefitted from VA care and I have worked for the VA in California for 5 years. I can't adequately describe the gratitude and humility I feel to work with such compassionate, competent, and dedicated folks. I work in outpatient mental health, among some of the most challenging situations you can imagine, and in my experience the social workers, clinical psychologists, nurses, admin staff, and technicians truly honor the values of patient care and service. In my experience medical doctors may or may not be skilled in actively and attentively listening to and caring for patients. I also have the great fortune to work for a VA center that is recognized for excellence in care.
Indianapolis VA is fabulous
Here's the thing congress figured out: If they cut veteran care,
the problem will eventually take care of itself.
And a funeral plot, 6 gun salute, and a flag is FAR cheaper than continued care.
This has to be a joke. If you actually worked at the VA then you know veterans will never get anything from brandon and democrats.
"We the people" are sick and tired of the BS. Thank you for being straight up. I can't listen to one more word out of Traitor Green's mouth or their special "others" who back them! Fed up!!! Thank goodness there is a mute button 🙌
So happy to have Jeff Jackson representing us in district 14 here in NC. He is a man who is authentic, does what he says he's going to do, and is committed to transparency. I love his approach to politics and many others could learn a lot from him! Also loved watching his videos with his family during the pandemic, it really helped reduce the anxiety we were feeling during such a chaotic time. Many thanks to him and so grateful for all he's doing for us in Washington!☺️🙌
Just wanted to thank you for mentioning his videos with his family during 🦠shut down… i too am from Charlotte and have always liked him, but was unaware of his TikTok, popularity, or even his popularity nationally… I will be going back to see some of his TikTok‘s from that time, so thanks.

@@JustXavier It takes five seconds to debunk their nonsense. Worth it most of the time.
Any politician that changes party affiliation mid-term should be immediately recalled, as they are no longer the representative for whom their constituents voted.
Maybe they are. Maybe a lot of their constituents needed to redefine where they stood too. Based on current events.
@@CowboyConan "Maybe they are. Maybe a lot of their constituents needed to redefine where they stood too." - Redefining where you stand is literally the definition of no longer being the representative for whom the constituents voted.
@@nomore6167 I was referring to the voters, not the rep.
@@CowboyConan "I was referring to the voters, not the rep" - Unless I misunderstood your statement (which is certainly possible), you referred to both. You said "Maybe they are", suggesting that the rep is still representing their constituents after changing party. You then said "Maybe a lot of their constituents needed to redefine where they stood too". The word "too" means "also", so that sentence is interpreted as saying the rep and constituents both needed to redefine where they stood.
@@nomore6167 I was referring only to the constituents. Since there’s more than one, I used the plural “they”.

He took the approach of a rational adult. The fact that what Major Jackson is doing feels new and refreshing is absolutely terrifying. This should be the MINIMUM expectation from our politicians.
It's so refreshing to see a down to earth Politician. Keep it up Rep. Jackson!
The people in her district should sue she no longer represents them. What do they have to lose. Dems need to start playing hardball.
There are many more Independents in Arizona, than belong to either party. The Democratic party certainly doesn't represent the state at all. She still represents Arizona, she just refuses to be bullied by unelected tyrants.
There needs to be an investigation into her finances. Bet you anything she got paid to switch sides
Wow. It is great to see a young person so involved.
We need to empower him. Please interview him more. Give air time to those who are really trying to help. Give air time to what is sane. Give air time to people who have integrity.
Awesome!!!! Keep going . We need another set of eyes on these fools to keep truth front and center.

He puts his videos on Facebook as well. He's probably on most of social media, but I am not. He is awesome.
@@stormyweather2807 Thanks for letting us know. I don't do Tick Tock either. 😂
Excellent interview.
I echo this congressman's sentiments. The majority of us, republican or Democrat, are sick of the performance art coming from our elected officials. Vote them out of office and replace them with people who actually care about our needs.
I'm not personally a TikToker.. I really like this guy! Maybe he can post it all on CZcams too?! I SO appreciate his approach, humility & behavior. Sad that it's exceedingly rare these days. I also really like his usage of social media (which I suspect is 1 of the more healthy uses imagined once upon a time). I'll take 500 more who can behave in this manner........ ASAP!
We are so proud to have Jeff Jackson represent us and North Carolina 👍
Intelligent man Rep Jackson is. We need more people like him in our government. Also, Thank you Rep Jackson for your continued service. So appreciated, and so honored.
Rep. Jackson is a wonderful person. I can remember him sending out emails in our state and doing exactly what he does on TikTok, and I replied and thanked him and told him how much it helped me understand what they were doing within the state. He graciously answered me back and said he was glad that it helped. I won't forget that ever. How many politicians take time to answer people back? I had emailed again later asking a question of him, and again he answered back. I wish we had more and more people like him!! He's a great man and we are very proud to have him as our Rep in NC. Thank you for giving him the credit he well deserves!
I followed him before I knew who he was!! I just like what he was all about and how he put it into words!! Jackson is great!!!
That this guy is so well regarded gives me hope for humanity.

What does it take for adult to grow up and say hey we come to learn that TIK-TOK is using this platform against America alright let's keep using it were smart people will let them find stuff and top-secret stuff from our phones there's a good idea they're only the second richest country in the world with a larger Navy than America now huh.

@@angelabluebird609 VOTING RIGHTS ACT NOW
A cut to the VA budget sends a stark message to those who have served, are serving, or are considering serving. For when your country appeals to your loyalty, ask you to serve in its name, and then turn its back on you when you have body parts missing, have PTSD, or any other combination of ailments imaginable.
The aged veterans who get disabilities of old age. .
It is especially incompetent leadership to shirk our duty to our Vets. The callused refusal to pass the legislation to raise the debt limit ceiling and threatening across the board cuts is a dereliction of duty: imposing unconscionable cuts as if that would be "fair". Nothing could be further from the truth. It's an injustice to maintain the tax cuts benefiting the rich and not pursue a fair amount of taxes from the richest and large corporations. I suppose we need to provide some "dishonorable discharges" with our votes.
The republican terrorist party wants to destroy the US, cutting the budge to the VA causes people to not want to serve and not defend the country, and the republican terrorists can hand us over to Putin.
I moved from New Orleans - which has a beautiful VA and lovely staff everywhere you go, to Fayetteville Arkansas, where the VA is atrocious. I literally am thinking of moving because of it. I have some health issues. I fractured my hip, and it took me over a year to get surgery. living with level 10 pain for a year and a half, really changes you. I should've stayed in New Orleans, but the crime was getting so bad you couldn't leave your house. also, the VA in New Orleans would come and pick you up for appointments if you gave them a couple of days' notice. they had two or three vans going all day. I loved it. since I've been here, almost two years, I've only had one doctor in the women's clinic. the rest are nurse practitioners. 3 of them. not knocking NP's, but you'd think there would be at least one real doctor in our clinic. they overworked the one we had for a while, she lasted 8 months. I loved her.

@@feffygracie You may not like AOCs politics but you cannot honestly say she's stupid. Margie on the other hand is legitmately stupid as well as mean spirited. She's makes a fool of herself every time she opens her mouth.
@@feffygracie AOC is Einstein compared to the best the GQP has to offer.
@@feffygracie If AOC can do one thing its count and keep the receipts! I would love to see Traitor red against AOC in a math contest.. or even better Katty Porter🤣
Perjury Trailer Queen can count to 6 using her toes. From BOTH feet.
We are so proud of Jeff Jackson, here in NC! Keep going, JJ!
Jeff Jackson is awesome! Even though I’m not in his district, I became aware of him during the COVID crisis because he broke down everything into simple and straightforward words. I still have my Jeff Jackson for NC magnet on my car from when he became a candidate for senate and left it on when he stepped aside for the primary. I was thrilled when he ran for House!
He just answers the associated questions. OMG, he gets it.
We need more of him, please.
Thank you both for the truth for the American 🇺🇸 people and teaching us the importance of truth!! 🗽⚖️🇺🇸💙
We need more of this!
I had Chris' same impression. I kept saying "he seems so relatable and full of substance"
I started following Rep Jackson very early in his term through an Instagram algorithm bringing him to my attention. I knew immediately that he is what we as a country need in government. I commented that while I am not one of his constituents I greatly appreciate what he brings to Congress. That sentiment has only grown stronger for me in the ensuing months. Thank you so much Sir! 👏🏻👏🏻
I was a Raleigher that ended up donating towards his campaign because he is the epitome of what we need in politics (honest and caring) right now. Excited to see where his career takes him and the difference he can make, inspiring others.
As someone born and raised in raleigh before it got destroyed .i veto the word "raleigher" . No. Nonono.not. nein. Nyet. Nil. No. That is not a a thing and anyone who wants to make that a thibg i want to fight them.
