Sharpton: Democrats Losing 'Moral High Ground' by Not Condemning Protests

385

Sharpton said, “Let me say this, the politics of that, what is being robbed by them not doing that, Joe, where you and I agree. How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side say January 6 was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses? You lose the moral high ground.”

Losing the moral high ground, just sounds funny him saying it Brother Chuck. Maybe morality has a different definition in their book.

In the absence of a narrative, people will fill the void with their own narrative. That's why Democrats need to speak up more forcefully. I don't subscribe to the false equivalency argument that Sharpton is making. Violence from people trying to overturn a legitimate election is not the same as violence from people trying to stop the killing of thousands of innocent civilians. Yes, the violence from both groups is wrong and should be condemned; however, the justification for that violence is not equivalent, so that point should not be lost. One can condemn the violence without undermining the primary reason those protesters are there in the first place (the killing of innocent civilians). That's where the Democratic Party needs to be.

SrA John Monette Ahhh ... I see we are back to the "mostly peaceful" bull shit that some leftists like to shovel.

I never said anything about peaceful demonstrations... And that is not the topic at hand.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - You need to get different news sources. That's not the case at all on our campus. The protests were peaceful, and they involved both protesters and counter-protestors. Peaceful protests do exist.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - I can read just fine. You wrote "The protests we see at this time around the country and specifically colleges involve hate speech, vandalism, arson, intimidation, violence, hostage holding, and more." If that's all you're seeing, it's because you're not looking hard enough. That's not the case at all on the campuses here in my town. Our protests have been peaceful.
