Liberal Media Blasts Dems for Backing Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton never misses out on an opportunity, so after Trump Called out Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Sharpton flew to Baltimore to make racist accusations against Trump.

Trump, of course, then went after Sharpton, calling him out as a con man, all but inviting Democrat presidential candidates to defend him as well, which they all did.

Their automated response, however, drew significant criticism from some of the biggest mainstream media outlets in the country.

Defending the Con Man

It was so predictable.

Donald Trump attacks a so-called respected community leader that is black, so Dems prove how progressive they are by defending the man.

Just about every top candidate in the presidential race ripped Trump and talked about how wonderful Al Sharpton is.

Warren stated that Sharpton had “dedicated his life to the fight for justice for all.”

Harris stated that Sharpton had “spent his life fighting for what’s right and working to improve our nation, even in the face of hate.”

Joe Biden called Sharpton a “champion in the fight for civil rights.”

Getting Called Out

Seth Mandel, who is the executive editor of the Washington Examiner, wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post.

Mandel called out the candidates for what he stated was going against Trump’s “un-endorsement.”

He stated, “Unfortunately, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my infallible hero’ is a terrible approach to politics.”

He went to call out Sharpton as being “unworthy of such praise” because of “his history of race-baiting and deadly anti-Semitic incitement.”

Mandel was also upset the moderators during the Dem debates failed to grill the candidates on Sharpton on the many inflammatory things he has said about whites, cops, and Jews.

He stated, “You can believe that Jewish lives matter, or you can pepper your public career with slavish fan fiction about Al Sharpton.

“When the sun sets on the careers of this crop of Democrats and their stories are written, what will the record show about the choice they made?”

The New York Times also ripped the candidates for their backing of Sharpton.

Brown University Economics Professor Glenn Loury stated, “They’ve handed Trump an easy win and yoked themselves to a genuine bigot.

“The problem for Democrats is that Al Sharpton actually is, as Mr. Trump put it on Twitter, ‘a con man.’

“And not just a con man: Mr. Sharpton is an ambulance-chasing, anti-Semitic, anti-white race hustler.”

There is far more proof that Sharpton is a racist than Trump.

For instance, Sharpton delivered a speech at Stephen Marks Kean college in New Jersey where he called white people “crackers” and stated he would “off the man.”

He also stated that he didn’t believe in marching to protest, he believes “in offing the pigs.”

This is the man that Dems flocked to support, yet nobody is questioning them one bit about Sharpton’s racism or encouraging violence against police officers.

This is the type of information we need to hammer these candidates on when they come into town for rallies and town halls.

Put them on the spot and make them defend the indefensible.
