Sharpton, who laughably described himself earlier this year as “nonpartisan,” began the interview with the first of many softball questions which enabled Harris to spout meaningless platitudes, asking Harris, “what does Black History Month mean to you?” Harris smacked the softball out of the park by proclaiming that Black History Month “means everything to” her.
Sharpton, despite being an activist for African Americans, did not find it appropriate to ask Harris about her condemnation of Joe Biden for working with segregationists and his friendly relationship with infamous racist George Wallace in the 1970’s and 80’s. Of course, Sharpton is more concerned with partisanship than principles, as he excused Biden’s racist past last year during the presidential race.
…
Sharpton then praised Harris for being “a Sista with the ‘A,’ not the ‘Er’” and salivated over her attending the historically black Howard University and being a member of AKA, a black sorority. He asked her how these experiences “helped make” her, which teed up Harris to spout more platitudes.
…
Sharpton revealed his true partisan colors by not asking Harris about her time as a DA because for someone who spends so much time advocating for social justice, one would think that he would have questions about Harris convicting 1,900 people for marijuana and advocating that non-violent offenders stay in prison so that they could continue to provide California cheap labor.
Now that Democrats are in the White House, MSNBC is state run TV.
