FLOYD'S FUNERAL BECAME A 3 RING POLITICAL CIRCUS

President Trump came under heavy fire at the George Floyd Funeral

By Howie Katz


I watched the George Floyd funeral turn into a 3 ring political circus.

First, Congressman Al Greene gave a fiery speech highlighted by his absurd scream that "George Floyd's only crime was that he was black!"  If you recall, Greene was the first member of Congress to call for the impeachment of President Trump.

"George Floyd's only crime was that he was black!"  Never mind that Floyd was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 bill and that the autopsy showed he was using fentanyl and meth.  Then there is the fact that Floyd was an ex-con convicted twice of armed robbery.

Could it be that Greene was misled by the two murals on the altar which depicted Floyd with angel wings and a halo over his head?  Yeah, right. 

Then Rev. William Lawson told the funeral attendees that "The first thing we have to do is clean out the White House!'

Then Al Sharpton, who was chosen (or chose himself) to deliver the eulogy, tore into Trump.  He mentioned "wickedness in high places" repeatedly, a veiled reference to the President.  Sharpton accused Trump of showing indifference over Floyd's death, and sending police a signal of impunity.

Sharpton shouted, "You [Trump] sit now trying to figure out how you're going to stop the protest, rather than how you're going to stop the brutality.  The signals that we're [ the government] sending is that if you are in law enforcement, that the law doesn't apply to you." ... "When they have the highest level of government that excuses it. When some kids wrongly start violence that this family don’t condone and none of us do, the president talks about bringing in the military. But he has not said one word of 8 minutes and 46 seconds of police murder against George Floyd."

Sharpton also accused the President of using the bible as a prop when Trump appeared in front of the riot-damaged St John's Episcopal church.

With Sharpton's sordid history, he should have been the last person invided to the funeral.  

From Freedom Wire, this is the real Sharpton:

Sharpton caught his big break in the late 1980s by stoking racial tensions over a rape hoax.

A New York teen, Tawana Brawley, falsely accused multiple white men of raping her in the woods of Wappingers Falls, New York. She claimed, after the assault, the men wrapped her in a feces-covered bag covered with racial slurs.

After a lengthy investigation, a grand jury found that the allegations were a hoax.

If Sharpton had a conscience, he would have apologized to the men who were falsely accused.

But this is Al Sharpton we are talking about.

Sharpton was ordered to pay $65,000 to one of the falsely accused men, Steven Pagones, for defamation.

The money was paid to Pagones not by Sharpton himself, but by his supporters.

The Tawana Brawley incident isn’t the only time Sharpton has inflamed racial passions. He has a long history of similar acts.

Sharpton rallied rioters with cries of “No Justice, No peace!” He referred to Jews as “diamond dealers,” and this rhetoric lead to the death of a Jewish man, Yankel Rosenbaum, in what would be dubbed the “Crown Heights Pogrom.”

The Washington Examiner recounted the incident when it reported that in August of 1991, Sharpton led a “violent, murderous, anti-Semitic rioters on a pogrom in Crown Heights. They terrorized that Jewish community for nearly four days, during which 183 people were injured and the innocent visiting Australian University academic Yankel Rosenbaum—brother to one of us—was murdered in cold blood amid cries of ‘Kill the Jew! Kill the Jew!”

And from mrc TV:

It seems as if, every time there is a death which can be re-engineered into a racial bias incident such as Michael Brown, for instance, that  MSNBC host Al Sharpton finds a way to give the eulogy. But, in a proven case of bias which took place twenty years ago, the future advisor to President Obama and NYC Mayor DeBlasio was nowhere to be found. That is because Sharpton was one of the main causes of the hatred which led to fire bombing of Freddy's Fashion Mart. 

He didn't toss the firebomb, but the anti-Semitic and racial bias which came out of his mouth and out of the mouths of other while in his presence, produced the massacre as assuredly as if the fire was set with his hands.

On December 8, 1995,  Al Sharpton incited the violent fire-bombing of the Jewish-owned Freddy's Fashion Mart in Harlem, causing the the deaths of Angelina Marrero, Cynthia Martinez, Luz Ramos, Mayra Rentas, Olga Garcia, Garnette Ramautar, and Kareem Brunner - the seven victims of the massacre. There was an eighth death, Roland James Smith, the man who burned the store down.

It all started as a rent dispute in the summer of 1995:

The United House of Prayer, a large African-American church, was also a major landlord in Harlem. They raised the rent on Freddy's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store which had operated from the same Harlem location for over 40 years. In turn, Freddy's had to raise the rent on its sub-tenant, a black-owned record store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensued. As he has done so often in his life, Al Sharpton turned this non-racial economic dispute into a racial conflict.

At the time, Sharpton claimed he wasn't involved in the protests, that he was only present to mediate - but, the evidence suggests otherwise.

In the 20 years since Freddy's, Sharpton hasn't shown any change.

Remember the controversy surrounding the Duke lacrosse team?

Without any facts, Al Sharpton declared that these "rich white boys” had attacked a ”black girl,” and he warned that, if arrests were not made immediately, there would be no peace. He further claimed, "this case parallels Abner Louima, who was raped and sodomized in a bathroom [by a New York City police officer] like this girl has alleged she was.... and just like in the Louima case, you have people here saying she fabricated it.” It was later proven that, indeed, she had totally invented the story and all charges against the defendants were dropped.

In the cases of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, Al Sharpton falsely declared the shooters both racists and guilty without seeing any evidence.
