Morning Joe: Al Sharpton Attacked for Refusing to Call Trump a Racist (Really)
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/14/2017 7:27:46 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Q. How do you know that Charlottesville has caused the left to utterly lose its mind?

A. When Al Sharpton—Al Sharpton!—gets attacked by a fellow liberal for refusing to go far enough in his condemnation of President Trump.

Today’s Morning Joe offered the spectacle of Donny Deutsch—a quintessential Upper West Side/Hamptons liberal—attacking Sharpton for refusing to label Trump a “racist.” Deutsch accused Sharpton of “dancing around” the issue by merely saying that Trump “plays to” racism. Deutsch:

“Don’t you need to now come out . . . He’s a racist! Can you say he’s a racist? . . . You can’t say the president is a racist? You can’t say that?”

That seems to be the DNC theme for this week. All I heard yesterday (and this morning, a bit), was that Trump was evil for not coming out with some more specific condemnation of white people. So, apparently Al Sharpton was not holding up his end of the bargain to support the DNC.

I don’t have TV. I walked by the TV in my building’s lobby on my way to work this morning and CNN was on with the crawler “Trump refuses to condemn white supremist groups”, or something like that.

Immediately I assumed I had missed some attack they had done over the weekend. Nope. They want him to condemn them on principle. They want him to condemn them not for what they’ve done, but for what they believe.

Doing that would be a textbook example of being “un-American”.

They think we are idiots.

I haven’t followed the day to day minute by minute coverage so I have no clue how Trump is tied to this in any way...my assumption is that the Russian crap hasn’t been very loud lately with Kim threatening to attack Guam so they needed to bring back the Trump is a racist meme. Probably a sign that Trump had a really good week last week with all the Pressers

I gotta give the 4chan kids this much. They have made me think. One meme shows about 90% of the top 100 folks at CNN are Jewish. How did CNN leave themselves open to such a charge? I mean, personally I would worry more if 90% of the top 100 folks were JWs. I mean those people actually BELIEVE they are going to be the only ones left the day after the rest of us are dead. How could the folks at CNN be so stupid?

These groups need to attack the media NOT each other.

one of the self-hating bed fouling usual suspects: nothing to see here

Early life and education[edit] Deutsch was born to a Jewish family in Hollis Hills, a neighborhood in the Queens borough of New York City, New York. His father, David Deutsch, founded David Deutsch Associates, now known as Deutsch Inc., in 1969.[2][3]

Sharpton will not be able to hold up to the pressure that’s sure to follow. Sharpton will crack, and he will call Trump a “racist”, and whatever else the far left wants him to say.

You don’t hear either Sharpton or Jesse calling Pres. Trump Racist - they have a decades long history with him - Probably the least racist of all...
