Twisted version of new york values. From Rockefeller Center in new york, this is politics nation with al sharpton. Good morning. Im al sharpton, its two days before the New York Primary, and we start with donald trump waging war on the Republican National committee. Hes gone after Party Leaders before, but not like this. After getting outmaneuvered in the delegate fight in colorado and other states, trump let loose. It makes it impossible for a guy that wins to win. Its a crooked system, folks. Its a crooked system. Its a rigged, disgusting, dirty system. Its a dirty system. The Republican National committee, they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of crap to happen. Following trumps tirade, the rnc released a pointed memo about the delegate rules in each state. Quote, each process is easy to understand for those willing to learn it. And the head of the rnc said the whole debate is a distraction. Quite frankly, the complaining that goes on is something that i think
Barack obama of wire tapping his phones during the campaign. Nbc news reports there is currently no evidence to back up those claims. In one of the six tweets he fired off at around 6 30 this morning, thats 3 00 a. M. Pacific time, trump wrote, terrible, just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is mccarthyism, exclamation point. How low has president obama gone to wiretap my phones . Trump has also tried to redirect the fallout from his attorney generals meetings with the Russian Ambassador. He tweeted, the first meeting Jeff Sessions had with the Russian Ambassador was set up under the Obama Administration. And just out, the same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the obama white house. The political fallout continues over sessions misleading answers to the Senate Judiciary committee about his meetings with the top russian diplomat in washington. He said this week he would recuse himself from potential inv
anything that arnold schwarzenegger has done in his past that s worse than anything that donald trump has done? it s a great point. you think about where we are as a society. people come to me regularly and say, how do you explain donald trump? i would respond and say, how do we explain america? that we have evolved to a society that the kind of behaviors we see in donald and in arnold, to tara s point, has become normalized. i think there s something sad about that. the political realm has always been considered very noble. with all due respect, i believe donald has demeaned the office of the presidency and his continued behavior and this continued tweeting and taking the bait from people like arnold schwarzenegger doesn t help his cause in any way. there is no accident there is this #grabyourwallet campaign, nordstrom s and others who have dropped the trump name and boycotting the trump name. that will only continue as
hbcus who have a serious educational issue right now with funding, if you don t give them the money that they need, then i think you re doing aupre disservice. i want people also to remember at t gradu of hbcus are forging the way in science, technology, engineering, and math programs. so this whole farce of going to the oval office i think was a photo op for the president. and we cannot allow that to happen. and as a proud alumnus of two hbcus, i won t allow it to happen. and president morris indicated he felt they had basically gotten a photo op. tara, this move of the hbcu initiative out of the auspices of betsy devos, i wonder if that is such a bad thing in light of her own ignorance on hbcus. before this meeting took place she issued a statement, hbcus are real pioneers when it comes to school choice, they are living proof that when more
