Sharpton: Special Counsel Hur’s ‘Political Report’ Clearly Trying ‘Impact an Election’

MENENDEZ: “Rev, I wanted to have you on with us because I want to know what you thought about what was in this report?”

Sharpton: “Well, I thought that when I read what Hur said, Hur is being a 21st century, or ‘24, I should say, 2024 version of James Comey. He is clearly trying to affect an election, impact an election. Because you have to ask yourself, why would he even be questioning Joe Biden about when did his son die? If somebody is coming and questioning me, thank God None of my two children are dead, but why would they ask me when my mother died? Do I remember the date? So to even ask it is suspect. Then to put it in a report that has nothing to do with that and then to go through other things, it’s clearly a political report. The good news, though, is it’s done in February, not right before an election. And I think that the American people are smarter than they think they are. And I don’t think it helps their cause, the Republicans and the Trumpsters, when you have Stefanik coming out, saying, by the way, I would have overthrown an election, which is in my opinion tantamount to an insurrection. So, it’s reminding all of us that they have no respect for an electoral process that the people decide, not them. So, I thank Stefanik for taking the veil off of what they were trying to hide, and that is they want an autocracy and she says I would have done it and if he puts me as vice president and happens to win, I will not certify the election that we don’t agree with.”

MENENDEZ: “To your point, Rev, there’s no subtext anymore, it is all text now.”
