MS Now host and activist Al Sharpton condemned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday for doing an impersonation of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

Amid an ongoing redistricting battle, there has been another feud about political rhetoric and tone. Just days before an apparent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump's life, Jeffries warned DeSantis against redrawing the state’s congressional map, declaring, "We are in an era of maximum warfare. Everywhere, all the time."

He has also challenged Republicans with similar rhetoric, declaring, "Our message to Florida Republicans is, ‘F around and find out.’"

During a news conference amid the redistricting battle, DeSantis imitated Jeffries’ bombastic rhetoric and voice, saying, "’We’re gonna do maximum warfare against Republicans,’ ‘Florida Republicans, you F around, you gonna find out.’"

Oh my, how thin skinned they are on the left.

Not a word about the incessant calls to assassinate a sitting president or an angry negress mocking a wheelchair bound White governor in Texas.

But mock the ghetto accent and all of a sudden they're all offended.

EFF OFF you race baiting grifter.

I still can’t quit laughing at how he mocked Jeffries.

[Col Frank Slade]

Pay your taxes Al.

“We are in an era of maximum warfare. Everywhere, all the time.”

My first read was, “We are in an era of maximum welfare. Everywhere, all the time.”

Ron, should do Al next! ... maybe Al would get apoplexy ...

I don’t see the video in the article. Here it is

Not very good, I don’t think. Unless you also imitate Jeffries’ bizarre mechanical gesturing, you’re not capturing him. I know why they call
Him the “Temu Obama”

Calm down, Al, you’ll have a stroke.

I think mocking bothers them more than refuting their arguments with truth.

[NorthMountain]

Annoying Fat Albert is always a good thing to do ...

[dfwgator]

Al is like school on Saturday....No class!

[NorthMountain]

Indeed. Fat Albert isn’t class, he’s crass.

[faithhopecharity]

[NorthMountain]

In fact, the whole bloody democRAT party is crass.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I think we need to get back to doing impressions of Al when he was fat. Those were funny.

[Vision]

And an angel got their wings.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hey Al, you were fine with Kimmel calling Melania an “Expectant widow” so I dont want to hear a peep about DeSantis mocking 5 cent Obama

[HYPOCRACY]

I miss his James Brown hairdo.

Blacks do impressions of whites all the time, and exaggerated ones at that too. They also appropriate our technology, clothing, hairstyles, foods, entertainment, sports, alcohols, appliances, medicines, transportation options,

I think they pretty much should shut the hell up.
