Al Sharpton, Betrayed by Protege, Faces Embarassingly Low Turnout for Inaugural March
Heatstreet ^ | 1/10/17 | Jillian Kay Melchior

Al Sharpton will be marching on Washington on Martin Luther King Day, just five days before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. It may be a lonely walk.

Sharpton’s “We Shall Not Be Moved” march has piqued the interest of fewer than 1,000 people on Facebook. A rival event, the Women’s March on Washington, has already secured 175,000 RSVPs, with an additional 250,000 people saying they’re interested in attending.

Two key organizers of the Women’s March are former executive directors of National Action Network, the civil-rights nonprofit Sharpton founded in 1991. Led almost exclusively by women of color, the Women’s March is expected to draw a diverse crowd, which will include much of the same black audience Sharpton has long dominated.

The Women’s March, itself, will be held on Jan. 21– a week after Sharpton’s event. That essentially forces out-of-town activists to choose which inaugural protest to attend.

If Facebook’s numbers are any indication, they’re abandoning Sharpton by a ratio of at least 175 to one. A source close to Sharpton says the Rev is hoping to draw at least 5,000 people. But even that would be a small showing compared to the Women’s March’s expected attendance.

[SNIP] - much more on Al and his relationship with theses two including:

But a source close to the Rev said: “Sharpton’s very worried, because obviously, it would be a big embarrassment if no one shows up. Publicly, they say, ‘We’re all getting along.’ Behind the scenes, they’re fighting like cats and dogs, and Sharpton was trying to get them not to hold the rally until March.”

I am betting those bigoted women wanting to hold an anti-Trump march on January 20 are going to fail, too...

I’d like to see him march past the Treasury building, and have IRS agents rush out and grab him.

The media will make just 100 look like 20,000. The will be, “Hundreds come out in protest of Trump.” (alrezdy written I might add), instead of “Trump protest rally falls far short of goals. Only handfuls show up.”

And of course, the ones there will be paid.

Yeah, there are more women than blacks in America, but not by 175 to 1.

Remember, when media covers liberal demonstrations...

One guy on a street corner, hollering at cars = "A Handful".

Two or Three guys, maybe with a poster or two = "Dozens"

Dozen or so people on the steps of a public building = "Hundreds"

Couple of busloads of union goons on a free day off, and a celebrity to talk down to them = "Thousands"

BUT...

250,000 Tea Partiers show up on the Wash DC Mall = "Crickets"

No mention of the march for Life on January 27. Last year, over 200,000 marched with a huge blizzard bearing down. It took some people several days to get home after getting stuck on the turnpike.

Normally, they get well over 300,000 participants. The route is 1.8 miles and I think the leads are done before the tail end gets started.

Yet, the LSM never, ever covers it. Sharpton will get heavy coverage of him ranting to 35 sycophants.
