On Fox News, Raymond Arroyo Slams Sharpton's Trump-Bashing at Franklin Funeral: 'It's Being Twisted and Turned Into a Political Rally'

On The Ingraham Angle, guest Raymond Arroyo commented on Aretha Franklin’s funeral as well as John McCain’s funeral: “look, two great Americans, a musical legend, a statesman, both being honored but both these events in some ways, particularly Aretha Franklin’s funeral, turned very political.” For example, Al Sharpton used a major gaffe on his show to take a shot at President Trump: “You know, the other Sunday on my show, I misspelled respect, and a lot of y’all, lot of y’all corrected me. Now I want y’all to help me correct President Trump, to teach him what it means.” The crowd erupted in thunderous applause before Sharpton took another shot at the President: “When word had went out that Ms. Franklin passed, Trump said, “She used to work for me.” No, she used to perform for you. She worked for us.”  Commenting on Sharpton’s political statements at Franklin’s funeral, Arroyo pointed out how his comments follow a trend of the infiltration of politics into every aspect of American society:  “I don’t know why they have to politicize everything, but we see this across American life. People just want to turn sports, now even the great celebration of a life, a musical legend, ‘the Queen of Soul,’ it’s being twisted and turned into a political rally.”
