So does Trump...

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.’"

Just think of how much more outraged Sharpton would’ve been if Desantis had imitated the usual Jefferies, not the bombastic one.
“The usual Jefferies is a low IQ dipshit.”
That is a brilliant comic. :)
Correct. Its because most people cant come back from being soundly humiliated. They can argue and dispute facts and cite their own. Its hard to get a better zinger in after you’re properly burnt.
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”

(Alinsky, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”)
A fake racist POS preacher opens his mouth and shxt falls out. Go figure.
I don’t recall anyone “aksing” the old racist for his opinion. Then again, maybe the Muslim of the House “aksed” him to complain.
I farted, so I don't need to hear Fat Albert's opinion ...
:) :D
He’s claiming racism if he’s forced to pay it. /sarc
That’s what I was thinking. Imitate Bobble-head Al next.
The Hakeem skit was the best!
Al Sharpton was a frequent guest at Sean Combs’ “freak off” parties ?
IS Al a fag ? Has Al ever drugged and raped people at the freak off parties ?
That is what I would shout type the POS known as Sharpton.
Hakeem is just one on my list of democRATs that should someone arrange to create an eighth hole in their melon, I would lose no sleep over it.
Al Sharpton rages
Whoever called Hakeem Temu Obama was exactly right.
You’re right.
DeSantis should have said: “I’m sorry but I don’t do impressions. My training is in governing the State of Florida.
Nod to psychiatrist on the witness stand in Airplane. John Vernon who also played Dean Wormer. RIP.
Eddie Murphy once said: “All of us black comedians find out at the start of our careers that you can do routines and impressions on anyone except Dr. Martin Luther King. You can’t dishonor him if you’re black.”
After Soul Man, White Chicks and The Jerk you’d think rules are relaxed. They aren’t. I still like the scene in prison in Stir Crazy where Richard Pryor teaches Gene Wilder to walk and look bad.
Offensive accent??
That’s raciss, to call any accent offensive, Al.
The gal he was interviewing about this … I guess she’s an “accent expert” dem rep … had a valley girl accent. Talk about offensive, Al.
The stoopid sure measures high, with these dimwits.
