Kamala Harris Campaign Gave $500k to Al Sharpton’s Nonprofit Weeks Before Glowing Interview With Anti-Semitic MSNBC Host

Sharpton touted Harris's 'extraordinary historic campaign' in interview just weeks after donation

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s nonprofit organization just weeks before the anti-Semitic MSNBC host—who once said that "diamond merchant" Jews have the "blood of innocent babies" on their hands—conducted a friendly interview with Harris.

The campaign’s remittance to Sharpton’s National Action Network was part of a flurry of donations—$5.4 million in all—to black and Latino advocacy groups that seem aimed at winning Harris support from those constituencies. Harris’s campaign gave two payments of $250,000 to National Action Network on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1, according to campaign finance records.

On Oct. 3, Sharpton aired a video of Harris wishing him happy birthday on his MSNBC weekend show, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton. "Happy birthday, Rev," Harris said, using Sharpton’s nickname. "You have been over all of your years such an extraordinary leader. You have been a voice of truth, a voice of conscience."

Sharpton, 70, conducted a glowing interview with Harris on Oct. 20 in which he touted her "extraordinary historic campaign" while referring to Trump as "hostile and erratic." His questions lined up closely with messages that Harris sought to highlight on the campaign trail. Sharpton addressed concerns among black voters—especially black men—about Harris’s record as a prosecutor in California, where she was given the nickname "Kamala the Cop." Sharpton brought up Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress, and one of Harris’s personal heroes, to put Harris’s candidacy in historical perspective. Sharpton asked Harris whether men who opposed her were "misogynistic."

Turns out the entire Biden-Harris-Walz campaign was a money laundering organization.   I don't care if woke corporations, or celebrities get fleeced, but it really has to piss off poor left leaning grandma's and grandpa's who were duped $20 at a time.

Once a shakedown artist, always a shakedown artist.

Kamala could pay off her campaign deficit if Oprah. Beyoncé, Bruce et al just give her the $$$ they charged to show their “support”.

I was shocked to learn she paid these clowns to turn out on her behalf.  I thought they did it to support her, and not make a huge paycheck.

Most offensive to me is Oprah collecting $1 million.  She lost all credibility with America.

I consider these payouts campaign abuse and merits additional laws restricting how campaign contributions are used.

you are about 16 years too late. To me she lost it the second she came out for OBOZO.
She proves that she is either a racist or stupid. When you put race, religion, etc.... ahead of what is best for the country.....
