Following a report on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris rallying Black voters in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton contrasted their appeal to voters with what he said was the contemptible way Donald Trump is trying to draw Black voters to his presidential campaign.
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Sharpton first pointed to Trump recently saying that he has done more for Black Americans than Abraham Lincoln and then dropped the hammer on the former president.
Pointing out that Donald Trump "... went to the Bronx for Black and Brown voters with two rappers under indictment," Sharpton told the panel, "Donald Trump was for qualified immunity, which was in the George Floyd bill. So when you contrast what each stands for, then when you have a man saying that I've been the best president for Black Americans since Abe Lincoln, it is to call us stupid."

"I mean, he is really insulting our intelligence," he continued. "You've been better for blacks than FDR, for John Kennedy, than Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society, than Barack Obama? I mean, you can argue what you want to argue about what you think you did, but to say you were better than them means you think we're moronic."
"Donald Trump has never been home for us," he later added. "He's not even been in the neighborhood, less knowing the house."
