Sharpton Spends THIRD Day Claiming Victimhood Over Obama's IRS Scandal

REV. AL SHARPTON (15 May 2013): I am against the harassing harassment of anyone. Certainly we have seen with NAACP National Action Network, any number of civil rights groups have had to endure all kinds of unfair exceptional scrutiny from IRS and every other agency and I believe in many other cases, targeted. The Republicans the right wing never got upset about it and ah I think that it is hypocritical that they are all of a sudden raising issues that they not only ignored, but in many ways felt like it was all right.
 
REV. AL SHARPTON (13:53): I was laying out the litany of so called scandals and ah my response to em, let me finish by saying that I think all of this is A of course to attack the President, but also so they don’t have to deal with real issues. As long as they can talk about stuff that they know some of which don’t make sense. I’m not minimizing that the press should not be intimidated, or that groups shouldn’t be singled out, but that’s not what they’re saying, they won’t stop there. They got to say the President was involved and the President was directly covering up. Now, that is too far and nobody’s saying that. None of the whistleblowers, none of the evidence leads that at all. But as long as they can put the President in, it becomes the top story and then they don’t have to deal with jobs they don’t have to deal with immigration they don’t have to deal with the sequester they don’t have to deal with any of the issues.
