Sharpton Snuffs Mika's Praise of de Blasio, Claims Credit for Himself

Amidst all the Morning Joe talk about the Eric Garner case today, there was Al Sharpton looking out for #1.

When Mika Brzezinski began to praise NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio for the absence of violence last night, Sharpton jumped in to shut her down and claim credit for himself. There's "the mayor and other mechanisms," sniffed Sharpton, silencing her, but the real credit for the lack of violence goes to "movements" and "organized bodies." Which movements and organized bodies, might you ask? Well, Sharpton—sporting a big button from his National Action Network—went on to praise the way a non-violent march on Staten Island had been organized by . . . Al Sharpton.

I think normal Americans are starting to grow weary of Community Organizers like Sharpton and Obama. I also think this weariness explains the No Bills by the Grand juries in both St. Louis and New York City. New York City for God’s sake!
I think Normal America just might maybe couldbe starting to wake up and take America back. Hopefully.

Al Sharpton is the best recruiting tool the GOP has. Don’t be surprised if he disappears during Hillary’s run for the presidency.

Al Sharpton has run for President before and was treated deferentially by the media as if he was a serious candidate.

Maybe he will decide that 2016 is "his year" and run for the nomination again. Who knows, he might beat Hillary.
