Al Sharpton on ICE Protests: There Has To Be ‘Sustained Indignation,’ Keep the Pressure On’

EXCERPT:

SHARPTON: “I think that what will happen and what has to happen is there has to be sustained indignation. You can’t have a momentary minute of being angry or afraid and then let it dissipate. And it clearly says to me that there is some kind of difference in the Trump Administration’s strategy, because one minute he says, we’re going to deescalate, and Homan goes in and says, I come to tamp it down. And then Trump is on the red carpet last night at the Kennedy Center that he’s renamed. He said, no, no, no, we’re going all — they don’t even know what they’re going to do, which means you keep the pressure on. When your opponent or who you are facing or fighting starts making erratic moves, you keep the pressure on. You have today one of the most, I think, harmful, but will be a positive side for the movement side. When you go after journalists, to go after Don Lemon, when the whole country is moving against you in the polls and everything else, to try to shut down the freedom of speech, we’re getting ready to have the 250th anniversary of the nation’s history.”
