Al Sharpton Messes Up Spelling of Legendary Aretha Franklin Song: 'R-E-S-P-I-C-T'
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 19, 2018 | Paul Crookston

Posted on 08/19/2018 11:04:07 AM PDT by Zakeet

MSNBC’s "PoliticsNation" host Rev. Al Sharpton called on President Donald Trump to be respectful in his rhetoric toward women but inadvertently misquoted legendary singer Aretha Franklin's most famous lyric.

Sharpton was addressing Trump’s insults toward Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former White House aide and "Apprentice" contestant who wrote a new tell-all book criticizing him. Trump called Newman a "dog," a favorite insult of his that Sharpton called an "animalistic slur."

"I think you might’ve learned the lesson this week, sometimes the dog bites back with a book deal," Sharpton said.

Sharpton concluded his comments with a reference to Franklin's 1967 hit "Respect," in which the singer spelled the word out. Sharpton and Franklin, who died last week at the age of 76, were close friends.

"So in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T, and the next time you get a black woman and a beagle confused, remember this: I got you," Sharpton said.

did he ever pay his taxes?

Why isn’t this man in legal trouble over his back taxes?

Heck, why isn’t he in jail over that?

The amount involved was considerable as I recall.

Why do some evade any justice for legal transgressions?

This despicable racist, whose living depends on his being able to stir the pot and agitate his fellow blacks, got his "ordination" out of a Cracker Jack box. He knows just what to say, just what buzzwords his low IQ "congregation" will respond to. He gets them all excited about stuff they normally wouldn't even have thought about, and indeed, which deserve no consideration because they are not true. He makes quite a good living collecting money from his gullible followers and protection money--same as any mafia-victimized store owner-- from entities who don't wish to be labeled "racist", by this arch-racist. It is time and way past time, this piece of gutter refuse was tossed into jail for the rest of his miserable life. And look to his jailbird family members as well.

R-E-S-P-I-C-T? Isn’t that what happens at Sharpton’s Harlem car wash at 4:00 P.M.
