'Equal-opportunity attacker': Sharpton bristles at Gaetz confrontation in chaotic House hearing

A House Judiciary Committee hearing about police brutality devolved into chaos after Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz confronted Al Sharpton over things he has said over his long career of controversial statements.

Gaetz, 37, brought up an old resolution MSNBC host Joe Scarborough introduced when he was a congressman, which condemned Sharpton for "racist and anti-Semitic views," including calling Jews "blood-sucking Jews" and "Jew bastards."

"They are patently untrue," Sharpton said. "I never said that."

Gaetz pressed Sharpton on whether he had ever called Jews "white interlopers" or "diamond merchants," and Sharpton admitted he called one person an "interloper," though he did not know he was Jewish.
