Democrat Al Sharpton aimed at President Donald Trump in the wake of his recent indictment by comparing him to the founding fathers in a bizarre smear attempt.
Sharpton made the remarks during his Wednesday appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program.
“I mean, this is just as low as it gets,” Sharpton said about Trump’s three indictments.
“I’ve never heard of three cases on one individual in three jurisdictions. So this is serious,” he added.
“But on the other side of it, one day, our children’s children will read American history. And can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government, so they could stay in power?” he asked.
“That’s who we’re looking at. We’re looking at American history.”
Watch
This is a gross generalization, to say the least, but men like Madison and Jefferson literally did overthrow a government to help found America.
Later, Sharpton launched another attack on Trump, making it pretty clear that disparaging Trump was far more important than facts.
“This is all about him,” Sharpton added.
“This is narcissism with steroids.”
Whatever you think of Trump, the fact that Al Sharpton totally butchered American history for a cheap dig at the 45th president speaks volumes.
