Sharpton Defends Obama And Goes After Trump

Sharpton suggested the situation has further deteriorated during the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown because Trump has not adequately addressed the higher infection rates among blacks and only offered lip service by saying, “Oh I’m concerned.”

“That’s the last word from him: no plan for that,” Sharpton said. “When we raised that black-owned businesses and other minority businesses were not getting anywhere near what they should out of the stimulus package — no plan for that. So what would he think black voters are going to do? I’m surprised he’s at 3% [black voter support].”
