President Donald Trump on Sunday mocked Al Sharpton by posting an old picture of him when he was fat, before saying the Federal Communications Commission should “look into” NBC’s license because Sharpton and other pundits do little more than celebrate Democrats and bash Republicans.
The president was mistaken, though — Sharpton’s show, PoliticsNation, is on MSNBC, not NBC. And MSNBC is currently being spun off by Comcast, NBCUniversal’s parent company, into a separate company.
He also blasted Comcast CEO and Chairman Brian Roberts for being too afraid to pull Sharpton off the air because it wouldn’t be “Politically Correct.”
His comment came in a Truth Social post where he included a picture of a rotund Sharpton from 1988, decked out in a red shirt, slacks, suspenders, and a giant gold chain.
Trump said Sharpton used to be a “major” fan of his and would plead for him to go to his rallies.
Trump said Sharpton’s name took a big hit, though, after he pushed the Tawana Brawley rape hoax in 1987, where a 15-year-old black girl falsely accused four white men of kidnapping and raping her. It was “one of the worst Low Level Scams in History,” Trump said.
You can read President Trump’s full post — and see the old picture of Sharpton — below:
I knew Al Sharpton for many years, not that it matters, but he was a major “TRUMP” fan. He’d ask me to go to his fake Rallies all the time, because I brought BIG Crowds, and he couldn’t get anybody to come without me. Then he did the Tawana Brawley Hoax, one of the worst Low Level Scams in History, and that set him back, BIG TIME! Then he got to know Brian Roberts, Chairman of Fake News NBC, who gave him what would become one of the Lowest Rated Shows in Television History. Roberts is afraid to take him off because it wouldn’t be “Politically Correct.” This is just one of the many reasons that the Federal Communications Commission should look into the license of NBC, which shows almost exclusively positive Democrat content. Likewise, ABC Fake News — About the same thing, 97% negative to Republicans!
