Joe Scarborough: Conservatives Give Me ‘Crap’ for Being Al Sharpton’s Friend

"I catch a lot of crap from conservatives for being your friend and for saying you're my friend. And even when we disagree like we have this past week, we always talk respectfully to each other. I think I'm going to turn to the camera now and say this: Al Sharpton does not go out looking for these people. It's not like a trial lawyer.

The families call him and ask him to come. It happened in Ferguson, it happened in Staten Island ... You get calls from the families themselves and there's a lot of other stuff you do that you don't talk about; that this happens because families pick up the phone and they call you because they need help."
