[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton prepared for the 57th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, by joining MTP Daily host Chuck Todd on Friday where both he and Todd lamented that President Biden did not use his Tuesday State of the Union address to tie the fight for “voting rights” to Ukrainians’ fight for freedom.
That Biden didn’t make the comparison came as a surprise to Todd, “And I'm curious, you know, to me, this moment of Bloody Sunday and what we're seeing in Europe, there is a connection. It's a fight for freedom, it’s a fight for democracy. And—and-- Rev., it's a—it’s a-- statement I thought we would hear from the president on Tuesday that connected the two. He didn't quite do that. I image you will be.”
