Prior to Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, liberals across the country were threatening to flee the country! One such liberal, race-agitator Reverend Al Sharpton is now singing a different tune, claiming he was never seriously considering leaving the United States.
Al Sharpton initially said the he was “reserving his ticket to get out of here if he wins” but now claims that such comments were “all in jest.” Speaking to a TMZ cameraman, Sharpton insisted that “All of us” sarcastically said they would leave America if Trump won, but “That was said in jest. We’re not going anywhere. Clearly, it was said in jest. If that’s the comfort they got, they might as well get ready for an uncomfortable ride.”
Here are Sharpton’s initial comments about a possible Trump presidency:
Sharpton went on to complain about the outcome of the election:
“I mean it’s not the results we wanted,” he said. “Very sad. But we survived almost as bad on some cases worse. We’re dealing with a guy who used divisiveness and bigotry and won. Now, how do we protect what we’ve done in the last 8 years that he’s going to come after that President Obama established? How do we protect it?
“He can rest assure we are not going to take our foot off the pedal. He is going to have the fight of his life.”
It’s clear that Sharpton is trying to cover his tracks now that Trump’s presidency is a reality. We can expect more celebrities like Sharpton to back out of their pledge to leave America. What cowards!
