Tax dodger and riot starter Al Sharpton had a bone to pick with GOP nominee Donald Trump, on his MSNBC Sunday show Politics Nation, for playing coy with accepting the outcome of the election. Sharpton brought on Trump’s Senior Campaign Adviser Boris Epshteyn to browbeat him over the comments saying, “Boris, just how big would Clinton's win have to be for Trump to admit it is, quote, “Not questionable?”” But Epshteyn quickly turned the tables and left Sharpton confused by merely mentioning the explosive new Project Veritas videos.
Sharpton was on the attack right out of the gate. The MSNBC host, without citing his source, claimed that it was known that Trump supporters would be out at the polls looking for minorities. “One guy said to racially profile, you're not talking about integrity,” he stated, “These are your guys, these are poll watchers, this is your candidate talking about voter fraud that doesn't exist.” Again, Sharpton argued that Trump is talking about “voter fraud that doesn't exist,” but he would later contradicted himself.
Epshteyn began to list off the instances of voter fraud known to have occurred in 2008, and noted the reason there was no prosecutions out the election was because the Obama Justice Department didn’t pursue them. To which Sharpton replied, “But people in New York State have gone to jail for messing with elections,” directly contradicting his earlier claim that voter fraud “doesn’t exist.”
He continued to press Epshteyn on the circumstances under which Trump would accept a Clinton victory in November. “Listen, as long as there is no instances that are similar to the Clintons paying for violence at Trump rallies,” he explained. Appearing to be highly perplexed by his guest, Sharpton repeated it back to him saying, “Well, we know that's what someone alleged with WikiLeaks.”
Epshteyn seemed shocked by Sharpton’s ignorance on the subject, and upon an explanation of the details Sharpton exclaimed, “Oh, you're talking about the heavily edited video… Fine.” Epstein could barely keep himself from laughing in Sharpton’s face, since just a few seconds prior he had not a clue about the video. Perhaps Sharpton was just reverting back to the liberal talking points for James O’Keefe’s ACORN videos.
Sharpton congratulated Epshteyn for representing Trump so well and declared his facts “a good distraction” and “a good pivot,” and then quickly hid behind hyperbole by asking, “Do you understand what it does to kids that watch this?” But the fact that some of the people exposed in the videos have lost their jobs proves that there is for more truth to the footage than left would want to admit.
