(New York, NY) ― National Action Network
Founder and President Rev. Al Sharpton today issued the following
response to Donald Trump’s assertion on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the two
have a “good” relationship:
“Donald Trump has gone from calling me a ‘con man’
to asserting that we have a ‘good’ relationship. I don’t know how he
reached this conclusion – especially since I haven’t talked to him in
nearly two years and that conversation resulted
in an argument about racially prejudiced and divisive comments he was
making.
It is not only untrue, but beside the
point. I first started marching against Donald Trump during the Central
Park 5 case in the 1980s. Unfortunately his racist rhetoric has
continued to this day. The things he has said and
done throughout his campaign, including suggesting that the President
wasn’t born in the United States, are despicable. I will not stoop to
his level, throwing insults around and calling people names, but I will
also not sit by and let him make comments about
a fabricated friendship.”
