Al Sharpton is facing backlash on social media after choosing to evoke Amy Coney Barrett’s adopted children to make a point about what he considered a lack of diversity in the nomination event audience.
Sharpton said “I was glad her two kids did come out, I couldn’t find too many other people of color in that audience.”
One Twitter user wrote “Nasty, vile and mean. What else should we expect from the Rev. Al Sharpton?”
Emmy wrote “The left is the only side that scans a group for skin color and then makes assumptions based solely on that. Isn’t that the literal definition of, i dunno, racism?”
Another wrote “How come you didnt comment about the lack of color when all the clerks who worked for Ginsburg, were lined up. There was a lot of whiteness there”
Another wrote “Race Hustler gonna race hustle”
Another wrote “Race, race, race. Everything is about race to these grifters.”
