Does MSNBC's Sharpton Think GOP Runs the Senate? [MSNBC says Republicans control the Senate]
Newsbusters ^ | November 10, 2014 | Ken Shepherd

As an MSNBC panel discussed congressional reticence with President Obama's strategy pertaining to ISIS, the Rev. Al Sharpton jumped in with a challenge to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to call floor votes on congressional authorization for action against the terror group.

But while Republicans control the House, Democrats run the Senate and hence Sen. McConnell has no power to call a floor vote.

SHARPTON: "It's for them to convene and to say Mitch Mcconnell and John Boehner can call the vote."

In today's world, the experts are experts because they have strong opinions.

That's all there is to say about today's "experts".

Well, Sheila Jackson Lee thinks we’ve already sent men to the moon. Hank Johnson thinks Guam will tip over if we send too many Marines there. Maxine Waters thinks it’s OK for our government to take over private sector businesses.

What do all of these “leaders” have in common?

(They’re Democrats! Right?)

Sharpton needs to get his ass educated because his mind isn’t and his mouth bears witness.

The left has been steadily deteriorating into utter madness.

I'm not surprised they say stuff like this any more.

Insane people say insane things.

This is a very smart move by the democrats to say this, most Americans do not know any different, so with them shaping the story by saying republicans control the senate, so we need to put in more democrats..

It amazes me that more republicans do not see things like this for what they really are instead of just someone that is stupid, it is a very smart and well thought out plan.

Shoulda followed up with, “Well who runs the House then?”|

She would have said, “Boehner and the Republicans run that too.”
