Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“Politics Nation” host Al Sharpton criticized President Trump over his announcement that U.S. special forces killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a military raid.
In an effort to minimize the impact of killing the leader of ISIS, Sharpton inserted comments about white supremacy related to the one-year anniversary of the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The MSNBC host didn’t stop there.
Sharpton criticized President Trump for not giving Democrats a heads up about the raid.

Sharpton uses his platform at MSNBC as a propaganda vehicle.
Sharpton’s reference to the Tree of Life shooting is particularly disturbing, given his past which includes making comments that helped ignite the Crown Heights riots in 1991.
