He was “ordained” at the age of 9 or 10. Started preaching at age 4. What a jerk.
From wiki;
“Sharpton was licensed and ordained a Pentecostal minister by Bishop F.D. Washington at the age of nine or ten. After Bishop Washington’s death in the late 1980s, Sharpton became a Baptist. He was re-baptized as a member of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1994 by the Reverend William Jones and became a Baptist minister.”

And Sharpton was “ordained” to be a shake-down artist the moment he hatched, crying “gimme, gimme”.
Why are all of these race-baiting shake-down con-men “reverends”? They worship the hand-out above all else.
