Al Sharpton: Trump Race-Slurred Harris to Rile up White Base
Rev. Al Sharpton said Donald Trump accomplished what he set out to do by appearing at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago on Wednesday.
The former president’s goal, according to Sharpton, was not to reach a new audience—but to show his majority-white base that he’s still on their side.
“He went in there and stood up to those Black journalists, stood up and called the vice president someone that is not proud of who she is,” Sharpton told MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace shortly after Trump’s widely panned interview. “Played to those few Black men that he’s trying to get off.”
