Al Sharpton rips progressives at National Action Network conference: ‘Progressive for who?’
New York Post ^ | April 13, 2023 | Bernadette Hogan, Jorg Fitz-Gibbon

Al Sharpton took a shot at progressives at a conference hosted by his National Action Network on Thursday, saying he’s now in lockstep with Mayor Eric Adams on fighting big city crime.

“Anybody that tells you they’re progressive but don’t care about dealing with violent crimes are not,” Sharpton said at the Sheraton New York hotel in Times Square. “Progressive for who?

“We gotta stop using progressive as a noun and use it as an adjective,” he said. “You’re labeled progressive but your action is regressive. I’m woke? You must think I’m asleep.” He said he’s on board with Adams on the need for “a national agenda around urban violence, urban crime and accountability.”

He doesn't know what progressive means.

Also, if he is saying crime is a problem, isn't he an instrument of white supremacy?

I remember he once said, to paraphrase, that he disliked how some people associated blacks with crime.

Just an observation.

The money from the corporations he sucks off of wants the crime problem solved so Al sings a new tune nowadays.

I try to stay on top of the news. But it seems I have missed those stories about Eric Adams fighting big city crime in NYC>

...need for “a national agenda around urban violence, urban crime and accountability.”

They need to get rid of welfare, welfare queens, and all perverse government incentives for daddies to procreate and leave momma with lots of babies. It's the only solution. It's no harder than that. But it will never happen.

Properly, he should have said “progressive for whom?”
