Al Sharpton announces march on Washington on anniversary of MLK 'I Have a Dream' speech

He made the announcement during the memorial service for George Floyd

Al Sharpton announced during the memorial for George Floyd that he would be leading a march on Washington D.C., on the 57th anniversary of the "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King Jr.

Sharpton made the announcement during his eulogy at Floyd's memorial service in North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"On August 28th, the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington, we're going back to Washington," he said.

In attendance was Martin Luther King III, the son of the late civil rights icon.

"That's where your father stood in the shadows of the Lincoln Memorial and said 'I have a dream,'" said Sharpton, addressing King.

"Well, we're going back this August 28 to restore and recommit that dream, to stand up," he continued, "because just like in one era we had to fight slavery, another era we had to fight Jim Crow, another era we dealt with voting rights, this is the era to deal with policing and criminal justice!"

The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police lead to nation-wide protests, some of which descended into looting, rioting and destructive chaos.

Critics of Sharpton found it questionable to have him speak at the memorial service given his controversial past statements and extremism.

What Aren’t Minnesota’s Democratic Leaders Telling Us?

Though others may have forgotten, we are still recovering from the whiplash induced by Minnesota Democrats' about-face on the forces behind the riots that have convulsed the Twin Cities.

State leaders stood idly by last week as the Twin Cities burned. Keith Ellison, the Minnesota attorney general and former Democratic National Committee deputy chair, invoked Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that "rioting is the voice of the unheard." Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey allowed protesters to torch a police station, saying that "the symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life."

When, over the weekend, Democratic governor Tim Walz summoned the National Guard to address the riots, the message shifted. Authorities, including Frey, Ellison, and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), started blaming white supremacists for the destruction. Walz himself, who had called the burning embers of the Twin Cities "symbolic of decades and generations of pain, of anguish unheard," now said the rioting was "an organized attempt to destabilize civil society" and pointed the finger at "outside agitators."

Ellison began circulating images of a man whom left-wing Twitter had accused of being an undercover cop. Frey blamed "white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors"—giving his decision to allow protesters to ransack a symbol of the rule of law an even more disturbing significance.

And at no point did anyone offer a shred of evidence to support their claims.

PA Health Secretary Twists Himself Into a Pretzel Trying to Justify Limitless BLM Protests While Standing by COVID-19 Restrictions For Small Businesses

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine twisted himself into a pretzel this week trying to justify limitless Black Lives Matter protesters (and rioters) while standing by Coronavirus restrictions for churches and small businesses.

Dr. Levine, who is the first transgender person appointed to a Pennsylvania Cabinet, became secretary of health in 2017.

A reporter asked Dr. Levine about Governor Tom Wolf calling business owners cowards for wanting to open their businesses just a few weeks ago and then marching this week in Harrisburg with Black Lives Matter protesters.

Dr. Levine actually admitted that the Wolf Administration is not restricting Black Lives Matter protesters because of “significant social issues that people feel that they need to have a voice.”

So only church goers and small business owners are cowards and want to kill grandma if they dare exercise their First Amendment rights. Got that?

Only a select special group of people in Pennsylvania are allowed Constitutional rights.

This is pure Marxism.
