Take away the Race card and Al has nothing to offer society....and no way to make money.
Al not-so-Sharpton has been a projector for forever.
He make be hit by a case of the Trump Curse.
Hopefully Trump’s fearlessness in confronting race pimps will encourage others to follow suit. #NoMoreShakedowns.
Trump wants to know what happened to all the money sent to black neighborhoods. Look in this clown’s pockets.

At one time the government had Sharpton by the short hairs. He was a drug informant, ratting out his fellow home boys about their activities in amateur recreational pharmaceutical sales. That should have been made public during or right after his Tawana Brawly episode. If that had been done the problem probably would have taken care of itself.
Sharpton’s bio is that of a self-styled racist lawyer rushing around pointing out one injustice after another.

Some of the characters in the books of Tom Wolfe were composites based on Al Sharpton.
“Bonfire of the Vanities” and “Man in Full” come to mind.
Thank you for posting this about the esteemed man of the cloth. /s
It saves me looking up the details when I post my knocks against him every few weeks. Especially the innocent Jewish student who was murdered at random after Al’s inflaming speech against Jews at Crown Heights, New York. Horrifying.
I will say one thing in his favor: he sticks to his stringent exercise and diet as I could never do. Vanity Fair had a story on that. Practically two slices of multigrain bread and then back to the gym. Incredible.
He is a total phony. He has never gone to divinity school, never had a church, never had a congregation, yet insists on being referred to as “Reverend” Sharpton. He was “ordained” by a DC preacher at age 10 and has maintained the lie ever since. From Tawan Brawley to the Duke Five, he consistently comes down on the wrong side of truth, but never apologizes for the harm he’s done. He is all about himself and the facetime he can get on TV...period.
What is Sharpton’s official status with his failure to file taxes?

Sharpton’s involvement in the Brawley and other cases are well documented. Fewer know about the ‘Rockaway Five’.
Reggie Rivera was a police officer in the 100 Precinct in Rockaway Beach. One of the things that the Hispanic cop did was to ticket illegal van drivers. Reggie could be seen almost any day on Rockaway Beach Boulevard, stopping the illegal vans and ticketing their drivers.
A number of the drivers, most of them from Latin America, decided to get even with Rivera. Five of them got together and charged that Rivera had sexually assaulted them when he was in uniform and on duty.
The story hit the papers and Sharpton picked up their cause. He organized protest demonstrations each week. The protestors marched from the Hammels Houses to the 100 Precinct. Each Saturday the same Sharpton regulars yelled at the building. Everybody knew that Sharpton bused his demonstrators from place to place, paying them for their time.
Eventually, it was proven that the five van drivers lied. On some of the occasions, Rivera was not even on duty. He would have had to come to the Precinct in uniform and check out a patrol car without being on duty. That does not happen. Evidence was planted. Sharpton pushed the envelope.
Rivera was proven innocent and was transferred to another precinct. The illegal van drivers took over the streets, causing accidents and causing havoc on our streets.
Sharpton never apologized for defaming Rivera. It is not his way.
