Trump is absolutely right about ‘con man’ Al Sharpton

NY Post

"Once upon a time, when I was editing this newspaper’s opinion pages, somebody decided that it wouldn’t hurt to have a slightly more cordial relationship with the Rev. Al ­Sharpton.

"So there we were, in a Manhattan steakhouse, discussing not much because it quickly had become clear that Sharpton enjoyed being New York’s premier racial grievance-monger, so there was no common ground to be had.

"But he did show a flicker of interest in a $350 cognac on the after-dinner menu — glancing over with amusement in his eyes as the waiter hovered. “If you do, reverend,” I said, “I’m asking for separate checks.”

"Then came that towering thundercloud of a frown — meant to intimidate, as all too often it does.

"I laughed. He screwed his face up tighter. I laughed again.

"And then so did he, and presently the evening ended with a handshake and a personal lesson learned: If you push back at Rev, Al, he’s not so tough.

"Not enough people understand that though — not enough see through the scam." . . .
