Al Sharpton Slams Trump at Aretha Franklin Funeral, Would Teach Him What RESPECT Means

At the funeral for Aretha Franklin, the "Queen of Soul," on Friday, the Rev. Al Sharpton took a pot-shot at President Donald Trump.

"You know, the other Sunday on my show, I misspelled 'Respect,'" Sharpton started, referencing the hit song by Aretha Franklin. "And a lot of y'all corrected me. Now I want y'all to help me correct President Trump to teach him what it means."

The crowd broke into loud applause.

"And I say that because when word had went out that Miss Franklin passed, Trump said she used to work for me," Sharpton continued. He proceeded to "correct" the president. "She used to perform for you, she worked for us."

Trump had offered his condolences to Franklin's family at a cabinet meeting. "I want to begin today by expressing my condolences to the family of a person I knew well," the president said, CBS News reported . "She worked for me on numerous occasions. She was terrific — Aretha Franklin — on her passing."

"She's brought joy to millions of lives and her extraordinary legacy will thrive and inspire many generations to come," Trump continued. "She was given a great gift from God — her voice, and she used to well. People loved Aretha. She was a special woman. So just want to pass on my warmest best wishes and sympathies to her family."

The president also tweeted his respect. "The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, is dead. She was a great woman, with a wonderful gift from God, her voice," Trump tweeted. "She will be missed!"

What was so disrespectful about that?

Every funeral is a Wellstone funeral to these sick people. Of course the 2002 midterms worked out really well for the good guys, so hope they keep it up.

The Rev Al is a race-baiting, tax-evading, dope-pushing, rabble-rousing, lying-when-lips-move, anti-Semitic, Tawana-Brawley-hoax-promoting, semi-literate, loud-mouthed ignoramus.

Does he still have liens on his property for unpaid state and federal taxes to the tune of 5 million? That’s what it was in 2014. Might be even more now with accrued interest. As of 2016, a Highway Bill that Obama signed had a provision that revoked the Passports of people who owed back taxes to the tune of $500,000. Sharpton had to postpone a trip to Venezuela he had planned. Visited Obama’s White Hut 85 times. And still he walks free.

I am waiting for the day that one of these ne’er-do-well’s to pass and have a funeral like the Ayatollah Kohmeni where they were carrying the casket and they tipped it and he fell out, ( Which given who and what he was was freaking poetic justice ) So Al, ya know hire some beefy guys when your time comes, just sayin’...

How classy, to use a FUNERAL to make political jabs. What a lowlife.

If Trump signed her paycheck she worked for him, Al. You’ve never had a job so you probably don’t understand how that works and all.

Sharptongue has no class, even at a memorial. Not surprising for him. Not surprising for someone on the left.

That is the antithesis of the James Taylor line “Whenever you give me that pretty little pout...”. What a milk curdling look, blech!

What is the matter with these people, politicizing funerals? Had I launched into a political diatribe at my Dad’s funeral, when I was eulogizing him, people would look around at each other at best, or lead me out in a straight jacket at worst.

Time and place, Mr. Sharpton...
