BRZEZINSKI: “How do you think the President did at Morehouse?”
Sharpton: “I thought it was a very good speech. I thought that he really made some very key points, including his outright called for the immediate ceasefire. But I also think where he listed things like the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, the Voting Rights Act, specific things about how black unemployment is down, you know, in terms of record unemployment, so it was a substantive speech, and it was inspirational. And it was at a place that many of us see a sacred ground. Martin Luther King Jr. Came from Morehouse among many others, and I thought it was the place to do it. I thought the students protested, it was a small amount, but they did it with the dignity that did not scar the school, but at the same time, respecting the graduation. So I thought it was a win-win for both the students and for the president.”
