Al Sharpton accidentally calls the Biden White House offensive and elitist [VIDEO]

In a recent segment on MSNBC, Al Sharpton expressed concern about Joe Biden's potential loss in the upcoming election and its impact on the Democratic Party.

Speaking with Morning Joe host Willie Geist, Sharpton emphasized the crucial role of black voter turnout, especially in Wisconsin, while Geist questioned the selection process for reporters in Joe Biden's “Big Boy” Press Conference.

“There's a deep concern, and I know you're hearing it, too, that Joe Biden could lose it all for the Democrats,” Willie Geist remarked, setting the stage for the discussion.

Don't forget that it was the stone wall of the black and Latino vote that put Biden in the nomination. And that let's stay out of these discussions, I think it's offensive and elitist.” pic.twitter.com/HMdPMdSqKb

Sharpton responded, highlighting the dilemma facing Democrats. “I'm hearing that, yes, but I'm also hearing 'Not so fast,' because if not Biden, how do we make a transition that doesn't put us in a more dangerous position?” he said

Sharpton recounted his recent visit to Milwaukee, where he delivered a eulogy for a black man allegedly killed by hotel guards. He emphasized the importance of black voter turnout in Wisconsin, especially in Milwaukee. “You can't win Wisconsin without Milwaukee and black participation,” Sharpton stressed. “And they were saying, 'Well, we have questions about Biden's age, but where are we going and they're going to try to undermine Kamala Harris?'

Sharpton stressed the need to remember the core coalition of the Democratic party: black, Latino and working-class voters. “It can't be taken for granted. We're going where some people just want to go and we're going to leave someone who has been with us,” he said.

He also criticized the lack of diversity among reporters questioning Biden at a recent news conference. “I looked at the press conference last night and said, 'Where are the black reporters?' Sharpton asked. “I mean, we're looking at all the white people who are questioning Biden and the black voters who are supposed to fall in line.”

Sharpton noted that only one member of the Congressional Black Caucus has publicly called for Biden to step aside. “Congressman Jim Clyburn will be with me on Politics Nation tomorrow night, I'll be very guided by what he has to say,” he added.

He concluded by reminding viewers of the crucial support of black and Latino voters that secured Biden's nomination. “Don't forget, it was the stone wall of the black vote and then the Latino vote that put Biden in the nomination, and for us to stay out of those discussions, I think that's offensive and elitist,” Sharpton said.

Willie Geist closed the segment by noting, “We have to keep in mind that the White House is the one who determined which reporters got questions.”
