Sharpton Slams Trump Targeting Cities with Black Mayors: ‘It’s Race-Baiting!’

EXCERPT:

SHARPTON: “I think they have to prepare by every means that is available to them within the law, by going into courts and in joining and making the federal government prove the necessity to go in when the data is against what the president is saying, that you go to the federal courts, they should also have vibrant protest movements in these cities. Just how we dealt with stop and frisk in New York. It — you know, there are many cities in between Washington and Chicago, Washington and Oakland. He only chose the black ones. So, it is clear what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to race-bait. His own base is very concerned about Epstein. So what do you do? You go throw your base red meat. Let’s go back into race, all the blacks are breaking the crime, breaking the law, we need to go in. It’s race-baiting, and I think that what he has done is disgraceful and it puts people under siege unnecessarily. And it’s a misuse of law enforcement people. Yes, where there’s crime, we need to support those criminals being subject to the law. The majority of the people in Washington are black. Their victims of black. We’re not making excuses for criminals. But he did on January 6th. And why should we trust his judgment when the data shows different?”
