Flashback: Al Sharpton Has Complete Meltdown After Seeing Black Crowd Full of MAGA Hats

By Kara Pendleton October 29, 2018 at 6:31pm

Editor’s Note: This was a popular story with our readers when it originally ran; we’re re-posting it here in case you missed it.

It takes a special kind of ugly hatred to label an act of generosity and kindness as somehow a bad thing to do; a “low” thing to do.

But perhaps going for a “hold my beer” moment of his own in the annals of stupid commentary, “race-baiter” Rev. Al Sharpton made such a claim about President Donald Trump.

BizPac Review reported that Trump graciously allowed Turning Points USA to hold this year’s Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House. But, according to Sharpton on MSNBC, “It’s one of the lowest things he could ever do.”

“To go in the East Room, which is sacred, have a staged rally. Notice that all of those youngsters had caps on. It was almost like we’re going to dress you for the photo. And to call it a young black leader summit ….”

WATCH: AL Sharpton’s reaction to seeing a room filled with young, energetic black people in MAGA hats is PRICELESS! pic.twitter.com/TB4s6an7L0

His ignorant commentary about Trump and the black youth who participated in the summit was not missed by social media. Twitter users had a field day calling him out over it. First up, the “dress you for the photo” comment, which also implies the hats, etc were bought and paid for by Trump, not the attendees.

And Sharpton accuses Trump of “dressing up” young black conservatives in MAGA hats.
Dems have been dressing up blacks in poverty, crime, racial hatred, fatherlessness, etc. for generations.

Do you believe Rev. Al Sharpton should apologize for his comments?

What a worthless racist Sharpton is!
Does he really think all these wonderful young people are so weakened by generations of dems lording it over them that they allow POTUS and conservatives to “dress them up” in MAGA hats?
His hate and ignorance defines the problem distinctly.

Al Sharpton thinks Trump “dressed” the young blacks because they had on MAGA hats and other Trump logos. This is just stupidity to act like they can’t dress themselves. https://t.co/3PLNK42meJ

They already have Al Sharpton on MSNBC saying you all were paid to be there and were made to wear the MAGA hats

I’m at the Hotel where the summit is being held. There are MAGA hats and other DC merchandise for sale. $10 for the hat, not provided by POTUS. Sharpton is a liar and this will take all of his clout away! https://t.co/D61rkF8mWP

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for inviting us to the White House.
Al Sharpton said you paid us to be there and if so where is my Check? The Lies they tell!
Also Thank you @charliekirk11 & @RealCandaceO for making this happen. pic.twitter.com/vOpHzGyzAb

See not everyone had MAGA hat on & these young, black men & women were there because they wanted to be. Al Sharpton lied on MSNBC which is not truthful https://t.co/aw3ojDCp5D

But they didn’t stop there. Critics also called Sharpton out over other parts of his comments, and general behavior.

Imagine the fear in Al Sharpton’s heart as he realizes he is very nigh to no longer being needed and used by the race-baiting Democrats, because his followers have broken the Democrat chains, are now wearing MAGA hats, and listening to their great President, @realDonaldTrump.

For years and years, your pockets have been lined by racist white liberals— so long as you worked to keep blacks upon their plantation.

You stood side by side with racists and helped them to destroy our communities.

At long last, your time is ending, coward.

WE ARE FREE. https://t.co/gq4XuiDDbT

Mr. Sharpton, you are wrong! POTUS doing a GREAT job for America. Love my hat. Would you like to Walk Away? #MAGA Conservatives Love America and know who is trying to destroy Our Country. #BuildTheWall #AmericaFirst #VoteRed

“Every black person who attended that fake Summit wearing those racist red hats in the East Room should be ashamed”

– Al Sharpton via MSNBC

RT if you think that Al Sharpton is more racist than all of those people combined. #MAGA #WalkAway #Blexit

It is a popular saying that if you want to know what the left is doing, look at what they are accusing the right of doing. It has been shown, more than once, that the left pays protesters and rally attendees.

Just because they do it, does not mean the right does it. Perhaps the right doesn’t need to pay people to show up.

Regardless, Sharpton’s degrading comment about the black youth in attendance was unbefitting someone who is purported to be a black leader. How sad that rather than encouraging black youths in their quest for striving for excellence as leaders, he chose to attempt to shame them, instead.
