Andrea Mitchell Cites Farrakhan as Evidence of 'Inclusive Group' at Aretha's Funeral

On Friday afternoon, during one of the rare liberal media acknowledgements of Louis Farrakhan's prominent presence at Aretha Franklin's funeral, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell gave an odd underreaction as she cited it as evidence of an "inclusive group" being on stage.

As her Andrea Mitchell Reports show gave live coverage of the event, at 12:06 a.m. Eastern, the MSNBC host listed several of those appearing on stage. She began: "It's interesting to see the panoply of civil rights leaders. Of course, right there at the church, we see Reverend Al (Sharpton), we see the Reverend Jesse Jackson who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease but was so close to Aretha Franklin and is part of that legacy."

She then got to Farrakhan and noted that he is "very controversial," but then, rather than doing the obvious thing and commenting on how astonishing or hypocritical it is to see him invited to such a high-profile public event and to have a former President appear with him, she merely called his presence evidence of inclusion.

There are good inclusions, that benefit and elevate the association, and there are toxic inclusions, that degrade and taint the association.

Calypso Louie is a toxic inclusion. Even if it was a sort of “soul music”. A real Charmer, that one.

With that group of leaders, it is not surprising why there is a cultural failure.

She is REALLY stupid.

No, my good FRiend.

Andrea Mitchell is not at all stupid.

She does, however, believe that her viewers are stupid, or at least happily ignorant.

Thanks Rummyfan. And thanks Andrea for the additional votes for Republican candidates in 2018, and probably in 2020, if you're still alive then, you personification of cancer.

You left out the LBGTSOBs or are they “inclusive” in “diversity?”

Did he get up and sing The Banana Song in a duet with Harry Belafonte?

Meanwhile many whites run around in circles at being called ‘racist’.

“”Louis Farrakhan’s prominent presence at Aretha Franklin’s funeral””

I think she’s blind - I thought it was a cadaver sitting there - prominent presence?????

I can say it was quite a Rogue’s Gallery all right!

Mrs. Alan Greenspan knows that Sharpton would never incite a mob to kill her. He’d only kill those damn middle class and Orthodox Jews.
