Former LA Mayor: Sharpton ‘Does Not Know the Black Community’ (Mediaite)
Former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan (R) said Monday that Rev. Al Sharpton, who hosts a primetime show on MSNBC, doesn’t understand the black people in Ferguson, MO.
Riordan made the comment on Fox News’s Fox & Friends.
“He’s a total disgrace,” said Riordan, who served in office for most of the 1990s, including the period of time immediately following the L.A. riots. “And the interesting thing — I’ve met him, I had breakfast with him once… — he’s very well educated. He’s not fooling anybody. But he really does not know the black community.”
