re: #40 Soundboard Fez

I suspect that was a purely fundraising exercise for Mr. Sharpton, and he did little other than serve the role of comic foil. The media gladly played along, unfortunately.

Had he been a threat to any of the legitimate candidates, it would have gotten REALLY ugly.

Ah, so he was just joking and didn’t mean it when he decried “the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights, got the ADL rightfully upset at him, and went on to blame “yellow ***s” for the kerfuffle.

Maybe he was just being edgy and satirical? //
