Pelosi to Sharpton: ‘Thank-you for saving America’
Thomas Lifson

A man who has blood on his hands for encouraging an actual pogrom against Jews in the United States has been thanked by Nancy Pelosi for “saving America.”

Speaking to his organization, the National Action Network, Nancy Pelosi gushed over Al Sharpton:

“Thank you, thank you for helping take back America,” Pelosi said, despite still lacking a majority in the U.S. Senate, U.S. Supreme Court, and not holding the White House.

“Uh, people are call— all over the place are calling me, writing, airports here and there— thank you for saving America.

“I give those thanks to you,” Pelosi said, pointing at the small audience.

“Thank you for saving America,” she said. “Reverend Sharpton, thank you for saving America!” she said, grabbing his hand and raising it high.........

You don't know what a pogrom is. It is not a riot but an attack by state- employed security forces. The Mayor of the time went to Crown Heights to (unsuccessfully) talk the rioters down. He may or may not have acted forcefully enough but it's not like the police were told to stand down.. or kill Jews. They were there in force to stop the rioters.

You have swallowed the propaganda of political opponents of the time

Did Sharpton over react in a racially defensive/offensive way? Perhaps. Hard to prove that was his intention from what I've read. Would love to see some back up for your accusation

Michael Stanislawski, Professor of Jewish History at Columbia University, wrote in 1992 that it was "historically inaccurate" to couple "pogrom" with Crown Heights, because the word denoted organized violence against Jews "having some sort of governmental involvement."[40] Journalists also disagreed with the use of the term, including Joyce Purnick in The New York Times, Earl Caldwell in the New York Daily News, and an article in The City Sun. Al Sharpton said that Giuliani was engaged in "race-baiting" by using the word "pogrom."[40] Henry Siegman and Marc D. Stern of the American Jewish Congress also publicly rejected the term.

It does seem sharpton was at the least inflammatory. Still, a pogrom is a completely different level to anti semitic rioting

My grandmother narrowly escaped a pogrom.

The fact is New York City Mayor David Dinkins did not tell the police to back off, he responded to the riot immediately by deploying 2,000 policeofficers and making a personal visit to the troubled neighborhood under a hail of rocks and epithets hurled at him by fellow blacks.

Then again, DT was equally inflammatory about the Central Park 5, and the press and law enforcement along with him

Reverrrend Al Sharpton encouraged his followers to attack Jews in New York. He's the worst kind of Racist race baiter.

Naturally, Reverrrend Al found a home at the lunatic leftist MSNBC.

Naturally too, the Crash Dummy intellect, Nancy Pee-Lousy would fawn all over this little racist race baiting huckster.

Al Sharpton Led His First Anti-Semitic Race-Riot In Crown Heights, Twenty-Three Years Ago Today
On the job training for a professonal hater

Jeff Dunetz

Al Sharpton wasn't always an unrepentant MSNBC star, advisor to president Obama, and first-in-line to agitate a racial situation anywhere in the country. Twenty-three years ago a tragic car accident in Crown Heights Brooklyn escalated into a pogrom against the Jewish people. The media usually gives it a politically correct description: "violence between the area's Blacks and Jews." But the violence was not two-sided. The Crown Heights riot was an attack on the Jews by the neighborhood's Caribbean community, fueled in large part by Al Sharpton, the "Reverend"who does not believe in the commandment about "bearing false witness.".....
