BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Rev. Al Sharpton hit the stage during a voting rights rally to tell President Biden that supporters of the filibuster are “stabbing” the Black community “in the back.”
“President Biden met with some of the civil rights leadership and we reminded him…You said the night you won that Black America had your back and that you were going to have Black America’s back,” Sharpton told supporters. “Well, Mr. President, they’re stabbing us in the back. In 49 states, they’ve got their knives out stabbing us in the back.”
Biden responded in a tweet. “I would never stab black people in the back, because that would obviously contribute to the violence in their communities,” he began. “In fact, my wife doesn’t allow me to use knives, and she cuts up my food for me into bite-size chewable portions. But to get back to Sharpton’s issue, I believe that culinary schools should be built in African-American neighborhoods.”
