You want "divisive?" MSNBC is divisive. The vile Al Sharpton described President Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore as a “love letter to white supremacy.” In Saturday night’s PoliticsNation, Sharpton smeared our Founding Fathers, as white supremacists, rather than courageous heroes that founded this great nation. Sharpton even insinuated that Trump wants to take America back to the days of slavery: Yes, you're attempting to take America back indeed, but much further than the 1950s, as has often been assumed. No, after last night's love letter to white supremacy, I'm now convinced that what you're actually reaching for is indeed 1776, when the recognition of certain Americans was still subject to public attitudes. It was absolute insanity for Sharpton to tell his viewers that Trump has wanted to take this country back to the days of Jim Crow, but to also claim he's wanted African Americans to be slaves.  No one should take Sharpton’s words seriously, especially considering his long history of hateful rhetoric. Throughout the duration of Trump’s speech, he only mentioned American heroes, none of which were white supremacists. Sharpton gave this disruptive message on a day that all Americans are supposed to unite together and celebrate our independence. Although Sharpton’s words were troubling, in no way should they be surprising. His entire career has been based on race-baiting, and that was exactly what he did Saturday night.  Throwing it all together in one big smear, Sharpton excoriated: You instead threw shade at protesters just steps away, Black Lives Matter in solidarity with the Sioux Nation, who were protesting both your presence on their sacred land and the appropriation of that land to honor white men with a monument carved by a Klan sympathizer. Sharpton tied in his classic race-baiting techniques to send out the message that the 2020 election is about race: For weeks now, you’ve referred to the movement for black lives as insurrectionists and this week called the slated Black Lives Matter street mural in New York a symbol of hate. But how can you hold up the statue of slave holders as history and put down the descendants of his slaves as hate mongers? There's only one explanation for your words Mr. President, a dark and sinister one and that should be all Americans need to know to see the way forward in November.  In the eyes of Sharpton, George Washington should not be looked at as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, and Thomas Jefferson should not be looked at as the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence; rather these great men are reduced to term “slave holders.” Sharpton tied in the weeks of Black Lives Matter protests in order to push forward his agenda to make 2020 about race. He does not want Americans to look at historically low unemployment rates for African Americans, criminal justice reform, and historic funding to HBCUs; instead Sharpton’s goal is to label our founders and Trump as white supremacists to further divide us.

AL SHARPTON: It fits you of course to amplify western civilization Mr. President, conjuring our narrow past to dismiss the concerns of the moment. You instead threw shade at protesters just steps away, Black Lives Matter in solidarity with the Sioux Nation, who were protesting both your presence on their sacred land and the appropriation of that land to honor white men with a monument carved by a Klan sympathizer. Yes, you're attempting to take America back indeed, but much further than the 1950s, as has often been assumed. No, after last night's love letter to white supremacy, I'm now convinced that what you're actually reaching for is indeed 1776, when the recognition of certain Americans was still subject to public attitudes. This includes of course women of any race, but certainly black and brown ones. The ladder at the beginning of a century long displacement accelerated by the nation's founding and the former made into chattel, their forced labor providing the human capital that built a thriving national economy.  76 years after the first Independence Day, abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglas, who you invoked three years ago as if he was still alive, asked the rhetorical question, “what to the slaves is the Fourth of July?” In that famed speech he lamented to white Americans that quote, “The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This 4th of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice. I must mourn,” end of quote.  That Mr. Trump is the sentiment you don't want to see, but one that a president has to acknowledge in 2020 if he expects to win. For weeks now, you’ve referred to the movement for black lives as insurrectionists and this week called the slated Black Lives Matter street mural in New York a symbol of hate. But how can you hold up the statue of slave holders as history and put down the descendants of his slaves as hate mongers? There's only one explanation for your words Mr. President, a dark and sinister one and that should be all Americans need to know to see the way forward in November.
