When I first heard that President Trump had gone after the Rev. Al Sharpton — and that Mr. Sharpton had responded in kind — I must admit that I laughed. Are there two New York City hustlers who deserve one another more?
But 48 hours later, I feel differently. That’s thanks to the leading Democratic candidates for president, who have rushed to Mr. Sharpton’s defense, extolling his supposed virtues as a civil-rights paragon while denouncing Mr. Trump’s attack as racist. In doing so, they have, yet again, taken Mr. Trump’s bait, handing him another easy victory while yoking themselves to a genuine bigot.
To read their tweets, you would think Mr. Sharpton was Gandhi-esque. “@TheRevAl has dedicated his life to the fight for justice for all. No amount of racist tweets from the man in the White House will erase that — and we must not let them divide us. I stand with my friend Al Sharpton in calling out these ongoing attacks on people of color,” wrote Elizabeth Warren. Kamala Harris praised Sharpton as a man who has “spent his life fighting for what’s right.” Joe Biden agreed, lauding the reverend as “a champion in the fight for civil rights.”

Sharptounge is a clown who should be in a ORANGE JUMPSUIT!
He knows stuff.
Because their lips are securely and permanently affixed to his ring (or azz)?
You expect them to take Trump's side? Really?
Sharpton better be upping his bodyguard pay...the mob hates snitches.
Why Are Democrats Defending Al Sharpton?
For the same reason they defend Jesse Jackson and John Lewis, because they have done a fabulous Job of keeping the Black Population on the Democrat Plantation as their Dependents.
New York Times reporter calling Donald Trump a New York hustler. Al Sharpton is a hustler no doubt. But Trump? He owns hotels, resorts and golf courses. New York Times reporter? A disappointment. A total disgrace. Like Sharpton. New York Times reporter is jealous.
Right... Uncle Al is the overseer of the Democrat’s plantation.
Because they’re as sorry and no count as he is......whadda think?
Al and Jesse are legendary in the Black community. Whenever you’re in trouble, just call, and we’ll be there. Race hustlers, but very effective in selling themselves and getting tremendous cred. Unearned, but there it is.
Why do homos side with muzzie? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It’s Racist...
That’s why, and being of a non white race gives you power as a “victim” group
Someone’s first day with Photoshop.
Wow, NYTimes criticized Sharpton...Winning! It must be so bad for Dems...
