Discussion: Al Sharpton Takes Swipe At Trump: Aretha 'Used To Perform For You, She Worked For Us'

… Rev. Al Sharpton asked the crowd to help him “correct President Trump” and teach him what “respect” means.

Well, I sure hope that he appealed to St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes.

Another thing Trump won’t do… THINK

I thought she worked for Madonna?

It’s too bad Aretha’s death was so close to McCain’s. She fought and worked her entire life for equality and great music and it’s just a shame that McCain gets to suck up most of the media coverage.

Not to contradict the Reverend Al, but regarding who she worked for – if anyone was here on a mission from God, it was Aretha Franklin.

Actually, I’ve had MSNBC on in my office most of the day, and they are giving extensive coverage of Aretha’s funeral in Detroit.

OMG, Michael Eric Dyson just destroyed Trump and the notion that Aretha “worked for him.” It was a thing of beauty.

(They’re showing the whole event on HLN)

That’s good to hear. Probably McCain on Eastern Time then Aretha a little later. I hadn’t seen any coverage when I wrote that.

Did Rev. Sharpton try to spell it “R-E-S-P-I-C-T” again?

Agreed. Unfortunately Sharpton’s correction was not much of an improvement.

Dogs perform for other humans.

Just “working for us” all would have been enough.
