Rev. Al Sharpton gotan earful from activistswhen he arrived in Baltimoreto preach on Sunday.

A group of men peppered the preacher with questions about his activism in the black community ina Facebook Live video posted by Duane G. Davis.

They come to exploit tragedies and collect money, Davis saidabout Sharpton and other high-profile liberal activists. How much money is he going to get to speak here?

One activist repeatedly asked Sharpton what he wasdoingto help young black men, telling Sharptonthat his past activism wasntgood enough.

You are talking about 19I am talking about today, the man said.

Whenasked about Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man killed by the police in 2015, Sharpton said, What did I do with Freddie Gray? What are you talking about? I didnt deal with that, yall did.

Exactly, thats the problem, Al, the man retorted.

That is your problem, Sharpton said, angeringthe activists.

Davis pressedSharpton to disclose how much he wasbeing paid to preach in Baltimore. Sharpton denied receiving any money for the sermon.

Davis is no stranger to controversy. He was jailed in 2011 for a protest stunt involving a toilet, which police thought was a possible bomb. In the 2012 Republican primary, he ran as a protest candidate for lieutenant governor of Maryland,according to RedState.
