Al Sharpton: We Should Brag About Biden’s Accomplishments ‘Rather than Sit in a Trauma Unit that We Lost an Election by Less than 2%’
EXCERPT:
SHARPTON: “Joe Biden did some very solid things, transformative things. Even I was telling fellow civil rights leaders, black unemployment is lower than it's been in decades. He just appointed more black women as federal judges than anybody in the history of this country. Nobody is talking about that. He just gave clemency for 1,500 people in one day. That's never happened. And -- and 39 pardons. And I -- I hope he continues that. I want to see Marilyn Mosby with a pardon, Jesse Jackson Jr. with a pardon. But if nobody's talking about this, we would let Donald Trump dictate the narrative that this was all four years of failure. We made more progress for working class people and communities of color under Biden -- not everything we wanted, not nearly everything we wanted, but more than we'd gotten under preceding presidents. And we need to brag about that rather than sit in the trauma unit that we lost an election by less than 2 percent.”
