Sharpton appeared on MSNBC to talk about how racist the President is and address the tweet where Trump called him a “conman.”
Al Sharpton would always ask me to go to his events. He would say, “it’s a personal favor to me.” Seldom, but sometimes, I would go. It was fine. He came to my office in T.T. during the presidential campaign to apologize for the way he was talking about me. Just a conman at work!

“He’s going to attack me as a ‘troublemaker’ and a ‘con-man.’ …I am a ‘troublemaker’… I intend to make trouble every time racists and bigots move around in any way shape or form, including the president,” Sharpton told MSNBC.
WATCH: @TheRevAl responds to President Trump's attacks against him.

Kamala Harris also came to Sharpton’s defense, saying
“@TheRevAl has spent his life fighting for what’s right and working to improve our nation, even in the face of hate. It’s shameful, yet unsurprising that Trump would continue to attack those who have done so much for our country.”
