WASHINGTON -- National Action Network president Rev. Al Sharpton promised a season of civil disobedience in reaction to the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general in the Trump administration.
Sharpton, an MSNBC host, said activists have planned a march in Washington on Jan. 14 during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend to protest the Sessions nomination. Sharpton recalled spending 90 days in jail for protesting on U.S. Navy land against military exercises on the island of Vieques in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, adding that civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.
Were not just doing this to be doing it. We do it because it can lead to change and, believe me, there will be a season of civil disobedience particularly around the Sessions nomination, he said Friday on a conference call with other civil rights organizations leaders such as Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, and Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza.

The “reverend” Al is gonna get a lot of his people locked up...
Poor old Al, he is so afraid of Sessions LOL. He should be grateful he got away with it for so long. Time to pay the piper now.
Sorry but he was on, interviewing Bernie this AM.
It might have been tape but I did not stick around.
Hey Al! Pay your damn taxes!
Oddly enough, he could be labeled a domestic terrorist...
18 U.S. Code § 2331 - Definitions
(5) the term domestic terrorism means activities that
why isn’t this tax dodging, trouble making s.o.b. in jail?
Trump needs to tell Sharpton to show up in the Oval Office with a cashier’s check for every penny that flim-flam man owes the IRS.
Then he can order a better audit of the Sharpton records for the next 8 years.
Would love to see Sharpton in jail.
Jeff Sessions will isn’t a corrupt, cop hating, riot-instigating race baiter.
Jeff Sessions will do his job and uphold the law.
This makes the Reverend very unhappy,
So he’ll hold his breath and stomp his widdle feets until Trump agrees to keep Loretta Lynch.
“Reverend” Sharpton?? revered by whom? Always reminds me of the quip that if Sharpton is a “Reverend”, Jeffrey Dahmer is a chef.
Probably because he was busy visiting the White House almost 100 times.
Trump would make a huge statement by locking this criminal POS up on day one.
I wonder if Sharpie ever read Civil Disobedience by Thoreau?
Which was what inspired Gandhi and King.
He can’t go to Canada-misdemeanor convictions.
I have never once heard either proclaim, “The Gospel of Jesus Christ”, why does this continue and nobody ever says anything to them about it?????
That was last summer
He was also an FBI informant back in the day but probably not now so time to release the records and burn an old source.
You ever see this going on in conservative enclaves?
What are we supposed to do, go into their neighborhoods and defend them from themselves? Maybe do the job we pay police and politicians for...?
Violent actions by a minority always the majority to their point of view.
That is a majority of our sold out media.
Who cares what he says ? F— him
I guess the media fears it would be labeled racist.
You’re right, he just has a Sunday morning show now, I’ve never seen it...
I used to enjoy the compilation reels of his struggling to read three syllable words from his daily evening show which was cancelled...
