Friday Al Sharpton said President Donald Trump’s “war” on African-Americans like Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-CA) would end up energizing a high turnout among minority voters, potentially to the levels that voted for President Barack Obama. Sharpton, like the Tawana Brawley Incident he engineered is wrong again. What and who was the Tawana Brawley imbroglio? From Wiki: Tawana Vicenia Brawley born December 15, 1971 is an African-American woman from Wappingers Falls, New York, who falsely accused four white men of raping her in November 1987. The charges received widespread national attention because of her age (15), the persons accused (including police officers and a prosecuting attorney), and the state in which Brawley was found after the alleged rape. Brawley was found in a trash bag, with racial slurs written on her body and covered in feces, on November 28, 1987. Brawley’s advisers Al Sharpton, Alton H. Maddox and C. Vernon Mason also helped the case to gain prominence. As a result of the imfamy Sharpton parleyed race into his present net worth which is estimated at half a billion U.S. dollars.

We know Elijah Cummings in one man, not “minority voters”. Neither Cummings nor Sharpton represent “minority voters”. Sharpton fails to recognize his own low popularity among majority voters especially among voters who voted for Donald trump and who are completely ready to come out in larger numbers to vote for him is 2020.

Sharpton said, “I think he will end up energizing people that may not have come out. People keep saying he’s energizing his base like there’s no base on the other side. I think what he’s going to end up doing is make turnout much higher than it would have been. He gains nothing by doing this because every three he out, there will be five that didn’t vote in ’16. Don’t forget the black vote went down, and there is room for him to grow. Who’s growing it is Donald Trump.”

In the same way, in the same manner president Trump is energizing the voters who admire and support him and who don’t care for Sharpton because of his incendiary, false, race-based rhetoric designed to shock and bring in more Benjamin’s for Sharpton.
