    1. t’Rump is so low that it’s impossible to insult him. No offense to you, but you failed. He’s far from Russia’s First Lady. He’s not even Russia’s First Mistress. The fact is that he’s an _alternate_ mistress, who’s so thirsty that Russia doesn’t have to make an effort. That’s just the _fact_ of that traitor’s status; not an insult.

      It’s just not even _possible_ to insult someone that low.

    2. @Talk Blocked Trump gets triggered over the smallest things, it’s actually really easy to insult him…he’s like a Snow Flake.

  2. Wow this is totally absurd. None of the other candidates have even close to this bad of baggage with black and brown people like Bloomberg does. Not even Buttigieg. And yes Bernie voted for the crime bill but only because it also had included the Violence Against Women Act and an assault weapons ban. Bernie warned at the time that the crime bill was going to lead to the issues it’s now been shown to cause.

    Sharpton is trying to muddy the waters to defend Bloomberg indirectly.

    1. @1776 Um no. Look, we can argue and debate about whether Bernie should have ultimately voted for the bill or not but to suggest that Bernie “throw blacks under the bus to get something HE wanted” is simply disingenuous. Unlike Biden, Buttigieg, or Bloomberg, he NEVER BELIEVED NOR DID HE EVER SUPPORT the idea that we had to be “tough on crime” for blacks and that it was ONLY “black behavior” that caused crime. Bernie’s position on a crime bill was more nuanced tdd than what is told in the media and that is what happens when you put so many aspects into a comprehensive bill. Look at this clip from 1994 if you need ccx clarification:

      Also, if you haven’t realized, Bernie got ARRESTED for fighting for CIVIL RIGHTS back in the 1960’s:

  3. Al Sharpton doesn’t speak for ALL Black People. Why Chuck Todd and other keep trying to legitimize him is depressing.

    1. Sorry John, my comments have nothing to do with endorsing Trump. How anyone can still support this mad man is equally dispressing.

    2. Hardly a democrat. Only voted for one for president since 1996. Independent since 2000. Neither Dems or Reps give a crap about Working or Poor People.

  4. This man does not represent the black community please stop putting him on TV we know he excepts checks and money from you people in exchange for false information. No black agenda no vote and tangibles.

  5. America wants Sanders2020. No matter how you twist & turn. Corporate Media is pushing Corporate master Bloom, Corporate poppet Pete, & let’s change nothing Amy.

  6. The only way to redemption in electing Bernie. He is the only sane in the bunch, the only clean in the mud, the only fresh in the rot. SANDERS2020 Save America.

  7. Now since Bernie is on the move sharpton says everyone needs to come clean. Now I see why Byron Allen called sharpton A sellout. He’s A token corporate mouthpiece. Him and Joy Reid.

  8. Stop this Bullsh*t. Bernie had to vote for the crime bill because of the “violence against women” part of the bill!

  9. Yes, because signing the crime bill back in the 90’s is equivalent to being Mayor of a city that implemented stop and frisk….gtfoh
