wait a second. he’s supposed to be an actual reverend? seriously?? I thought that was an ‘honorary’ title given to outspoken blacks the left wants to cloak in a shroud of religion to be more acceptable to the right leaning Christians

I’m trying to think of any actual religious leaders that would incite a mob to violence... well, that wasn’t muslim

From Wikipedia:

Sharpton was licensed and ordained a Pentecostal minister by Bishop F.D. Washington at the age of nine[73] or ten.[74] After Bishop Washington’s death in the late 1980s, Sharpton became a Baptist. He was re-baptized as a member of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1994 by the Reverend William Jones[28] and became a Baptist minister.[73][75]

During 2007, Sharpton participated in a public debate with Christopher Hitchens, who is an atheist, and Sharpton defended his religious faith and his belief in the existence of God.[76][77]
