Reverend Al Sharpton and attorney Ben Crump arrive in Minneapolis to represent the Floyd family. Moe describes Crump as the "legal muscle" and Sharpton as the "mouthpiece" for a well-established business model of media-driven activism. They critique Sharpton's polished media presence and his evolution since the Tawana Brawley case.
Joe Biden appeared with Al Sharpton at the National Action Network to apologize for past "mistakes" regarding sentencing disparities. Biden claimed he was misled by "experts" who suggested crack was fundamentally different from powder cocaine, a claim skeptics view as a revisionist political apology.
The discussion examines the relationship between Michael Bloomberg and civil rights leaders like Al Sharpton. Records indicate that Sharpton's National Action Network received a $110,000 grant from a Bloomberg-funded nonprofit. Host Karen Hunter's acceptance of Bloomberg's apology is questioned given her professional ties to Sharpton.
