Rev. Sharpton gives himself 71% raise after Obama, de Blasio shill for his organization

By Rick Moran

I wonder what my boss would say if I asked him for a 71% raise. Never mind – probably not printable on a family website.

 

Al Sharpton didn't have that sort of problem. As President of the National Action Network, Rev. Al simply decreed that he deserved a 71% raise because of the great job he's doing sucking up to the powerful.

 

New York Post:

 

Al Sharpton gave himself a 71 percent raise last year after his National Action Network group drew a record $6.9 million in donations — as the controversial cleric’s association with Mayor de Blasio and President Obama lent him a newfound air of legitimacy.

 

De Blasio’s election gave Sharpton a seat at City Hall, as the mayor treated him as an adviser and presented him at a press event next to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton after the death of Eric Garner.
