Democrats running for president in 2020 swarmed New York City this week to speak at a convention hosted by Al Sharpton's National Action Network. Sharpton denies his kingmaker role, telling reporters, “Don’t let them say you came here to kiss the ring, ‘cause I don’t wear a ring."
That may be true. In fact, Sharpton is more like a mob boss, demanding fealty and tribute from his capo underlings. More to the point, the Democratic candidates speaking before the NAN activists tried to out-radical each other. Several offered mea culpas for past racial indiscretions. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg apologized for using the phrase "all lives matter," claiming he didn't understand the "context" in which the phrase was used.
CNN:
"At that time, I was talking about a lot of issues around racial reconciliation in our community. What I did not understand at that time, was that phrase, just early into mid-2015, was coming to be viewed as a sort of counter slogan to Black Lives Matter," Buttigieg said. "And so, this statement, that seems very anodyne and something that nobody could be against, actually wound up being used to devalue what the Black Lives Matter movement was telling us."
He added: "That is the contribution of Black Lives Matter and it's a reason why, since learning about how that phrase was being used to push back on that activism, I've stopped using it in that context."

Al ‘jew them down’ sharpton.
Anti-semite
And he was known for extortion. He’d threaten to protest a company unless he got a check to go away.
Sharpton is like herpes, you can never get rid of him.
Why don’t Democrats and networks have to distance themselves from this racist hate monger?
The silver lining is that they run the risk of alienating nearly everyone who isn’t black, allowing Trump to peel away some votes.
I too wonder if he ever paid the $5 million or so he owes the IRS.
When you are less than 20% of the voting population, identity politics are not going to get you very far. But nobody ever said Abrams was smart. She does know how to get hands on a donut however.
You must pledge allegiance to Bobblehead Al and give him the Reparations Job when you get elected ,LOL
Reparations: Payments from people who were never slave holders to people who were never slaves.
He is no “kingmaker”, just delusional.
Title should be: DEMOCRAT kingmaker. Nothing democratic about Sharpton or any other Democrat.
He looks like a raisin. The left prostrating themselves while handing overs big fat checks is hilarious. They are very stupid people.
It is remarkable that there are no Democrat "mavericks". They all have to endorse the same BS that all the others do. Not a dime's worth of difference among any of them.
Because his hate it not extremist, it is a solid Democrat Party plank.
I believe that Sharpton is the ringleader of the agitator class. Marvelous twister of Trayvon facts into a national myth.
