'Morning Joe': Al Sharpton Says Black Voters Are 'Ashamed' Every Time Herschel Walker Opens His Mouth (Video)
By Benjamin Lindsay -
Sitting in the "Morning Joe" studio Monday, Rev. Al Sharpton railed against Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker as not only incompetent and ill-equipped for the job, but as an "insult" to the Black community that helped him gain such a platform in the first place.
Speaking with journalist and "Uphill" author Jemele Hill, Sharpton sniped at Walker, saying his presence on the ballot is "an insult to all of us that fought and continue to fight to open doors for Blacks. We should be celebrating two Black men running against each other with political ideas, rather than being ashamed every time he opens his mouth."
Georgia is two weeks out from its highly contested midterm elections, which will see Republican candidate Walker standing off against Democratic candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock. Sharpton posited Monday that former President Donald Trump, who first helped bolster Walker's visibility as a senatorial candidate, likely first chose Walker to run against Warnock because they're both Black politicians.
