I applaud Al Sharpton for being willing to so harshly criticize his own side of the political spectrum. “How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side say January 6 was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses.”

MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) humiliated himself Tuesday night by supporting former President Donald Trump after the New Hampshire primary. Sharpton
said, “Obviously Trump winning by double digits was not unexpected. I think Haley did a little better than some of the polls had, but she didn’t make it. I think that the fact that she pledged to keep running is in many ways the ultimate insult to Donald Trump because he wants everyone to just prostrate and bow to him and say now it’s over.

Al Sharpton Says Biden Should Hype White Supremacy Fears for Political Reasons

| January 9, 2024 | P.J. Gladnick
Pssst! Al! When you publicly suggest that Joe Biden discuss white supremacy, you should at least pretend it is for moral, not ulterior political reasons. Unfortunately,
Reverend Al Sharpton said the quiet part out loud on Monday's Morning Joe.Since Biden's handling of economy and border security has caused a slippage of support for him among black voters, Sharpton stated that when Biden uncorked another campaign speech in Charleston later in the day, he should bring up white supremacy in his speech as a way to shore up support among a group that has been increasingly disappointed in him.

Moronic Al Sharpton defense of Claudine Gay is pure race hustle

The New York Post ^
| 01/04/2024 | Editorial Board
Al Sharpton, the original racial grievance merchant, has chimed in on the Claudine Gay firing — and is getting slapped for his trouble by sports media legend Sage Steele. “This is an attack on every Black woman in this country who’s put a crack in the glass ceiling,” blathered Sharpton. He blatantly
ignored the fact that Gay was caught red-handed engaged in serial plagiarism, including of an acknowledgments section. And of course Sharpton, who infamously led an antisemitic march during the Crown Heights pogrom of 1991, couldn’t spare a word for Gay’s passive and cowardly backing of antisemitic thugs at...

MSNBC host and race-baiter Rev. Al Sharpton is a little confused about why the Founding Fathers are famous and what Americans celebrate every year on July 4. “One
day, our children’s children will read American history, and can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government so they could stay in power?

Scarborough Disses Nicolle Wallace: Biden Ditched Her To Interview 'Important' Al Sharpton!

Before Nicolle Wallace was able to toss to the commercial break at the end of her interview, Biden stood up and awkwardly walked off the set. Things
got really interesting when Al Sharpton bragged that after the Wallace interview, Biden spent 10-15 minutes speaking with him. That led Scarborough to say: "You can see [Biden] in a hurry to get out of the chair and meet somebody really important. And we all know that person, Rev, was you."Wow! So, in Scarborough's book, Sharpton is really important, but Wallace—whom he didn't even deign to mention by name—ain't. Got it, Joe! Enjoy...
