The Rev. Al Sharpton had a tough day at work when he had to give credit to President Donald Trump for getting Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
And to get around it he changed the topic, from getting the world’s most wanted terrorist to white supremacy.
“President Trump said that because of the killing of Al Baghdadi, that the world is a better place. And I would give credit to he and those that were responsible for it.
Part 2 of my #PoliticsNation closing thoughts on the killing of ISIS leader Baghdadi and the 1 yr anniversary of the #TreeOfLife shooting in Pittsburgh that claimed 11 lives.

“But we have a lot of work that must still be done in the area of terrorism. In the same area of the world where Al Baghdadi was and in our own nation.
“Where a year ago today, we saw in Pittsburgh at the tree of life synagogue 11 people killed by a domestic terrorist.
“We see the threat of domestic terrorism, hate groups, even FBI director Chris Wray said that white supremacy is a major part of that in this country.
“We must be committed to fighting terrorism all over the world, but we cannot duck the rise of hate groups and terrorism at home.
Is Sharpton a racist?
“And remembering this one year ago today, what happened in Pittsburgh at tree of life, ought to make us all say yes, give credit for what happened with the leader of ISIS.
“But let’s not forget the sobering memory of 11 lives lost and many others that were lost to those domestic terrorists that are bent on hate and bent on white supremacy and anti-Semitism and racist and homophobia.
“We have to fight terrorism, hate, and people taking lives on all fronts, and yes, give credit when we win, but don’t think the battle is over because we fought one fight.
“We must continue, and we must be operating with a sense of urgency,” he said in his rant comparing radical Islamic terrorism to white supremacist terrorism.
Dude give it a rest.. 🤦🏾♂️

I cannot believe that a disgraced race-baiting hate-mongerer has viewership. People have got to be dumber than a box of rocks.

Please remove the word reverend from your name. You are a fraud and have no clue about politics or religion. Mr would be debatable if added to your name.
