Yeah, but did Harris tell Sunny Hostin?

The growing scandal plaguing MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton has been “ricocheting around the halls” of 30 Rock, with his colleagues calling it a “bridge too far” for them, Fox News Digital has learned.
On Tuesday, MSNBC said it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign paid $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network nonprofit ahead of a friendly interview with the Democratic nominee just weeks before the election.
“MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network,” an MSNBC spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon, which first broke the story.
Harris sat down for a friendly interview on Oct. 20 with Sharpton, an open supporter of Harris and the Democratic Party. Following Harris’ defeat by former President Donald Trump, FEC filings revealed the Harris campaign gave two $250,000 donations to Sharpton’s nonprofit organization in September and October.
However, the MSNBC weekend host did not disclose to viewers the apparent conflict of interest before or after the interview. Neither did he disclose the donations to his bosses at the network, according to the Free Beacon.
“No one’s surprised that anybody at MSNBC was rooting for Harris. This feels like another level of nonsense. Like, you’re kidding me, right? This is weird,” the current MSNBC employee told Fox News Digital. “Harris could have given Al Sharpton an interview, and it would have gone the same way. But what are you paying for? … There’s no way that this can’t seem weird.”

Al’s been a grifter his entire career.
Al Sharpton rose in prominence through the Clintons, who needed their own Jesse Jackson.
"Harris didnt give me no money, either."

$600 Million To Run Ads for her Failed Campaign
Expected to balloon to $1.5 billion after Harris files

The latest FEC data show the Harris campaign exceeded $880 million in total spending as of October 16, though that number is expected to balloon to $1.5 billion after the Harris campaign files its post-election FEC report on December 5.
Seventy percent of the campaign’s known total spending flowed through four firms:
<><>Media Buying & Analytics,
<><>Gambit Strategies,
<><>Bully Pulpit Interactive,
<><>and Dupont Circle Strategies.
Together, these four Democratic firms were largely responsible for distributing Harris’s campaign messaging across the nation—an effort that ultimately saw Harris lose all seven swing states and the popular vote but directed huge sums of donor money the firms’ way.
A little-known Atlanta-based firm founded in May 2019, Media Buying & Analytics was the top-earning contractor for the Harris campaign, raking in an astonishing $281 million for ad production and placement services as of October 16, FEC records show.
<><>If Media Buying & Analytics had its way, its work for the Harris campaign would have been conducted entirely from the shadows.
<><>Media Buying & Analytics doesn’t have a website, its business is registered to a law office in Atlanta, and the Harris campaign’s checks to the company were made out to a UPS store in the city.
But FCC filings in 2020 linked Media Buying & Analytics to Canal Partners Media, a well-connected Democratic ad agency that has worked in presidential elections dating back to 1988.
<><>Canal Partners Media CEO Bobby Kahn confirmed to Business Insider in 2020 that his company owns Media Buying & Analytics, which was formed specifically to work for President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.

“Sharpton has made millions pawning off the African-American community. He has milked them for Millions of Dollars and continues to do so.”
Has been going on since Reconstruction.
David Plouffe, a top Harris-Walz campaign adviser admitted
a stunning fact about her campaign status before the election.
<><>their own internal polls never had Harris ahead at any time before Election Day,
<><>a bunch of polls in the last month showed a lead for Harris that “was not real,” he added.
Kinda reminds one of a Tootsie Pop.
No wonder they need more and more money each election cycle. The bribes keep increasing. Must be mind-boggling to the those who did the work or supplied the materials and expected to be paid. Too bad, the money went to the grifters who merely granted a 10 minutes for a friendly interview or who made a 30-second effort to type out an endorsement on social media.
Weird it’s like some of the 1.5 billion was getting kicked backed to her, oh joy.
Why would she wanted to buy anything on MSNBC?
All those few, who listen, voted for her anyway!
Does Harris paying Sharpton not make the interview a campaign finance issue? Or, more specifically, a campaign commercial that should have concluded with the candidate statement “I’m Cackles and I approve this message?”
If they found out Tuesday why was he not fired the same day? I did not think MSNBC reputation could go any lower but Sharpton achieved a new low for MSWNBC.
When and if Elon Musk buys MSNBC perhaps he will call it XBT, "X Broadcasting Truth".
Sharpton is an old fart but since 1866?

The racket of poverty pimpery.
MSDNC is stuck with Sharpton. They sided with the devil.
Sharpton transfers the money around several accounts and viola, no income tax has to be paid(not like he would pay taxes anyway)
Sounds like Congress needs to take a look at Al Stepnfetch’s “charity”.
