New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones blasted the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday for taking a get-tough stance on New York shoplifting — dismissing the crime wave as no big deal and suggesting that the longtime liberal activist was now backing the “carceral state.”
Hannah-Jones, who spearheaded the controversial “1619 Project,” made the comments after Sharpton called on Mayor Eric Adams to stop surging thefts in the wake of The Post’s exclusive story of a Trader Joe’s shoplifter who made off with 10 steaks.
“This drumbeat for continued mass incarceration is really horrific to watch,” Hannah-Jones tweeted. “A person stealing steak is not national news, and there have always been thefts from stores. This is how you legitimize the carceral state.”

Two of this country’s most execrable creatures named in the same headline .. concise revulsion, right there.
He’s Roger Stone’s creation.
Even Sharpton has left the room, Nikole.
The NYT and Nikole are all in for the total destruction of our country.
“A person stealing steak is not national news, and there have always been thefts from stores.” So saith Jones
Perhaps if she had the misfortune of being raped on the streets of New York, the perp should not be prosecuted because a person being raped in NY is not national news, and there have always been rapes there.
Joy will on the first (first class, of course) flight out of what ever place her ideas are enacted in.
