When Barak Obama was president, race hustler Al Sharpton visited the White House on 72 separate occasions, which included 5 private meetings with the president and 20 meetings with senior staff. In the Trump White House, however, it is unlikely that the visitor log will include Mr. Sharpton’s name, particularly now that he and President Trump have been sending each other combative tweets over Elijah Cummings and his dismal record in protecting Baltimore from urban decay. “Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. . . Hates Whites & Cops!,” the President tweeted in response to some of Sharpton’s snipes at him.

One uneasy political partnership has been between Mr. Sharpton and Minister Louis Farrakhan, the vitriolic leader of the Nation of Islam. Mr. Farrakhan has regularly derided Caucasians as “white devils,”

In the 1990s, Mr. Sharpton also formed a close working relationship with the now-defunct New Alliance Party (NAP), led by Dr. Lenora Fulani. Co-directing the NAP was Fulani’s mentor and tactician, Dr. Fred Newman, a psychologist whose unorthodox practices included group psychotherapy, mind control, and sexual encounters with patients.

Mr. Sharpton has roamed the world looking for alliances with the downtrodden, including various missions to Haiti, Zaire, Israel, the Palestinian territories, and Eatonton, Georgia.

At his “Redeem the Dream” rally, held in August of 2000 to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic march on Washington, Sharpton affirmed his philosophical support for Louis Farrakhan and permitted a speech by Malik Shabazz, a lawyer with a penchant for paramilitary garb and spokesman for the New Black Panther Party

Those Democrats who use him a prop to reinforce their connection to black America may need to consider the true nature of Sharpton’s often toxic use of race as a bargaining chip for his own personal ambitions.
