Firebrand lawmaker Charles Barron blasted the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday over his cozy relationship with Mayor de Blasio and accused the rabble-rousing reverend of pimping out victims of alleged police brutality.

At a news conference outside the gates of City Hall, Barron who last month won his wifes Assembly seat in Albany said Sharpton sold out the black community by backing de Blasios appointment of NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton.

As a matter of fact, de Blasio feels comfortable as though Sharpton speaks for all of us, but Sharpton doesnt speak for all of us, Barron (D-Brooklyn) said.

We are saying to Bill de Blasio: Just because you have Sharpton to support you to bring Bratton in here, dont think that is something the black community wanted. They didnt!

Barron also said Sharpton was exploiting his reputation as an anti-cop activist for personal publicity.

Families call me up all the time. Families need help. They dont want all this politics. They dont want people pimping them for attention, Barron said.

Barron was joined by other minority leaders attacking Sharpton.

Nicholas Heyward Sr. of Parents Against Police Brutality said: It is a very bad thing for him to be that close to the mayor.

Sharpton is doing nothing for the black community. Hes been putting on a show for a long time. He is right now where he wants to get: rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, he added.

Sharptons spokeswoman didnt return a request for comment.
