Al Sharpton said President Trump's Young Black Leadership Summit was "shameful," and he accused the president of "using" young African-American conservatives as "props."
Appearing on MSNBC, Sharpton said Friday's White House "photo op" was "among the lowest things" that Trump could do.
He said Trump used the event as a campaign rally, instead of discussing the issues that are important to black youth, such as criminal justice reform, student loan debt and the gun violence epidemic in Chicago.
"They're in there talking about 'CNN sucks,' they're in there talking about 'build a wall.' So why do you need a young black summit to do it?" Sharpton said. "Because it was not a summit. It was a Make America Great [Again] rally. They used some young blacks as props, whicOn "Fox & Friends" Monday, Brandon Tatum, director of urban engagement for Turning Point USA, said he helped organize the summit, and it was a "special" and "historic" four-day event.
"Four hundred black leaders from all over the country able to be in the White House and hear from the president," Tatum said, adding it was a gathering of enthusiastic, inspiring free thinkers.
He said he has a message for Sharpton: "He should be ashamed of himself."
"This was a great thing. And anybody who would counter that and have a problem with that, that person is not a respectful person to the African-American people, the African-American youth. And they should all be ashamed of themselves."
h really is an insult to them."
On "Fox & Friends First," Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell also took issue with Sharpton's comments.
He said what's really "shameful" is that Democrats have had a stranglehold on the African-American vote for decades, but the party has failed to make a major difference in the lives of those voters.
He said there's a shift happening in the black community, and conservative groups like Turning Point USA are reminding black voters that they do not automatically have to vote Democrat.
"They've turned that narrative on its head. So now you're getting two options. And that's what we need. We need Democrats and Republicans making legitimate and authentic efforts for the black vote," Caldwell said. "And I'm very excited to see this on the Republican side."
"I think this is ... truly something that we can look forward to seeing more of from this administration."Comment

As the terrible and sad incident was still being covered and understood, CNN couldn't resist having a Talking Head in the upper left corner of the screen rattling off a " study" that showed hate based attacks had increased since Trump took Office. When pressed for details, it wasn't about " arrests " but any and all incidents of hateful behavior. Sure enough , earlier today someone on this thread mentioned it, so CNN did their job.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
These " studies" are actually opinions , and not very fact based. You can't just invent reasons people commit crimes unless you individually interview and analyze all the data. And indeed, when pressed, they weren't based at all on arrests, all " incidents".
I actually think it is shameful for CNN to politicize these tragic deaths in order to get traction against Trump. What kind of journalism is that from " the most trusted name in news ".
And this, earlier today
Trump has in the past used tropes and language known to appeal to a tiny minority of extremists who might contemplate violence. Trump has recently taken to proclaiming he is a "nationalist" and berated "globalists" -- two designations that have innocent connotations in some contexts but are also recognized as code words by anti-Semites.
" known to appeal "
Says who ?
" code words by anti-Semites " How so ?
In 2016, a closing Trump campaign advertisement blasting a global establishment elite portrayed three people as villains alongside Hillary Clinton: billionaire liberal financier George Soros, former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Lloyd Blankfein, the chairman of Goldman Sachs. All are Jewish
So if you are Jewish, you can't be criticized ? Did he criticize them BECAUSE they are Jewish , or because of their issues ?
But Mark Hetfield, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, said that there is a growing acceptance of rhetoric that can endanger lives and that America's leaders must take a stand.
"The problem here is hate. The problem is there is a growing space in this country for hate speech and hate speech always turns into hate action," he told CNN on Saturday night.
"We cannot stand by as individuals or organizations or as governments when people spew hatred against, Jews, refugees, Latinos, against any group that some see as the other," Hetfield said.
There was no hate in America pre Trump ? None at all. So now we don't have free speech if someone classifies it as " hate " ? What about when Democrats lead the Parade. ? All the demonstrations the last 2 years , the Circus of Kavanugh's Hearing ? That's all Trump's fault too I guess.
Hey CNN, why not bring back the tape of the 100 Democrats who boycotted the Inauguration. You know why they boycotted. They hate that he won. They hate what he stands for. They hate that " I'm with her" didn't go down as planned. The Hate started from Day One,Comment

Stop it. You are not Impeaching Kavanaugh, unless you can come up with a bit more than a " recovered memory"Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
You are not replacing the Judges appointed for Life, unless they commit a crime. They are spread out, all over the country, ready to address many issues that will come before them.
Dems have been investigation since Day One. Even before je was elected. The only cockroaches around are those Democrats that have been selling the " Russian Collusion...no wait, obstruction..no wait...where's that clear evidence Adam...you said it was there?
Tax Returns ? The IRS has had them all along. All of them. So far, no charges, not even a whiff, and not too long ago the IRS was knee deep in treating Conservatives not so kind. Ask Lois Lerner.
Just like everything the MSM feeds you, there isn't anything there. No collusion, no obstruction, no tax fraud, no crimes at all. Nothing. So the Dems will keep wasting the taxpayer's money , come up wit the next " smoking gun " like the missing National Enquirer safe. Lanny Davis said the goods are there.
You Democrats just can't ever admit that you took a beating. It HAD to be someone else, something else...Comment

When Barack Obama joined the U.S. Senate in 2005, he was a 43-year old former law professor making $85,000 a year. In the 12 years since then, he won the White House, reworked the nation’s laws, ended two wars—and earned $20 million.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The former president didn’t waste much time capitalizing on his story once he got to the nation’s capital. In January 2005, the same month he joined the Senate, he got approval from its ethics committee for a $1.9 million advance against royalties with Random House for two non-fiction books and one children’s book.
The Obamas, who had earned less than $300,000 every year from 2000 to 2004, made an average of $2.4 million annually over the next four years, even before Barack got elected president. In the early stage of his Senate career, Michelle continued to work as the vice president for community and external affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals. She earned $317,000 in 2005 and $274,000 in 2006 before her earnings tapered off in 2007 and 2008 as her husband ran for president. In 2005 and 2006, she served on the board of publicly traded TreeHouse Foods, earning more than $80,000.
Then came the big money. In the two weeks before he was inaugurated as the 44th president, Obama reworked his book deals. He agreed not to publish another non-fiction book during his time in office, while signing a $500,000 advance for a young adult version of Dreams From My Father. He also finished the manuscript for Of Thee I Sing: A Letter To My Daughters, which was eventually published in November 2010. He donated all post-tax profits from the children’s book to provide scholarships for children of wounded and fallen soldiers.

Since Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House in 2001, they have turned political fame into a personal fortune, raking in more than $240 million, according to a FORBES analysis of 15 years of their tax returns.
Bill made most of the money, earning $189 million by writing books, giving speeches, consulting private companies and advising billionaire Ron Burkle. Days after his presidency ended, he earned $125,000 for a speech at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. in New York, according to a financial disclosure form Hillary filed as a senator in 2002. It was the first of hundreds of paid speeches that collectively made him an estimated $106 million over 15 years.
In 2004 he published his bestselling memoir My Life, one of the former president’s four titles. Clinton earned an estimated $38 million as an author from 2001 to 2015.Comment
