Sharpton on Trump's Remarks at Black Church: 'Insult to Our Intelligence'
Mediaite ^ | September 3, 2016 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 09/03/2016 6:34:36 PM PDT by Zakeet

Al Sharpton wasn't all that impressed by Donald Trump"s black outreach efforts with a visit to a Detroit church today. He said on MSNBC this afternoon that Trump "blew an opportunity" to lay out a clear vision of his agenda for the black community in an ideal forum for that.

And with Trump talking about communities learning from each other, Sharpton said, "Harlem is on the same island as Trump Tower. What have you gone up there and learned?"

He argued that it sounds like Trump is "just discovering" what black people need but not actually outlining specific policies for them, unlike Hillary Clinton.

“He said on MSNBC this afternoon that Trump “blew an opportunity” to lay out a clear vision of his agenda for the black community in an ideal forum for that.”

Al. What part of “I came here to listen” did you not understand. You care less about people of color than you do about your stature and lifestyle - without a doubt. You should be ashamed of your selfishness, as you desecrate the kindheartedness and trust of those you pretend to speak for. Sad, Al. Where is your conscience?

We know what Trump will do on day 1. On day 2, he should instruct the IRS to enforce the judgment against Sharpton.

Shouldn’t Al be packing for his trip to his new country? Maybe he and Babs can share a flight.

OK, so I did laugh out loud seeing the headline of Sharpton complaining about insulting “our,” meaning *his,* intelligence. Right.

Watched Al on MSNBC a few weeks ago. He had two guests and was finishing their segment. He said, "Thank you for your times."

Was it a bad thing to laugh?

Sharlapton not only lacks intelligence he sorely lacks integrity too. PS. when does this ‘reverend’ ever speak of faith or of scripture? Pure fraud.

When black society finds that with genuine help it it can pull itself up by its own bootstraps people like Sharpton are out of a job.

If Hillary couldn’t insult it, nobody can.

Hillary!’s Husband has had his offices in Harlem since 2001. How much better is life for blacks as a result of that?

Al Sharpton is just upset that Donald Trump hasn’t written him a check in awhile.
