Al Sharpton Clashes With Rep. John Mica Over Fast and Furious in Tense Interview

Visibly unhappy about tomorrow’s scheduled contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder, MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton invited Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) onto his show Wednesday only to call him a “conspiracy” theorist and shout over him as he answered questions about federal gun-walking operations “Fast and Furious” and “Wide Receiver.”

Sharpton began by asking Mica about previous statements he made about Fast and Furious being invented to impose stricter gun regulations and whether he thought the Obama administration was “hoping” for the resulting gun violence. Mica replied no, but stood by his assertion that the federal government was trying to find a way to increase gun control and blame drug cartel violence on guns sold in the U.S.

The Reverend then asked whether or not the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee believed Holder had specific knowledge about the gunrunning that took place and claimed the committee’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) had said the attorney general was not aware of the program.

Who gives a crap what Sharpless has to say. He is a racist, bigot and moron. Never worked a day in his life. Like Obama, nothing but a community activist.

Respectable people should avoid coming on his show.Budget cuts have diminished Sharpton and his cronies to phantom status.If people would just stop watching his show & pay no attention to him his influence would ceases immediately.
