Eric Garners Daughter Suggests Al Sharpton Is About Money

A new undercover video from Project Veritas, the conservative investigative organization led by well-known provocateur James OKeefe has released undercover video purportedly showing relatives of both Michael Brown and Eric Garner criticizing Al Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN).

The big news-making part of the video, however, is when Garners daughter, Erica Snipes, 24, suggests Sharpton and his group are all about money and promoting their organization.

As with most OKeefe videos, the footage is heavily edited at times with jump-cuts between the end of a question and the subjects purported answer but Snipes does clearly suggest Sharptons group has treated her unfairly.

You think Al Sharpton is kind of like a crook in a sense? the undercover Project Veritas staffer asked while posing as a Garner supporter during a rally in Staten Island.

Hes about this, Snipes replied, while rubbing her fingers together.

Hes about money with you? the undercover camera operator clarified for Snipes.

Yeah, the daughter replied.

Snipes had more direct words for NANs Staten Island director Cynthia Davis, who she said has repeatedly attacked her for not including the logo of Sharptons organization on fliers for pro-Garner events.

Instead of me, he wants his face in front, Snipes told the undercover person, referring to Sharpton and NANs desire to have their logo front and center.

Al Sharpton paid for the funeral, Snipes later added. [Davis] is trying to make me feel like I owe them.

Eric Garners daughter on Al Sharpton: Hes all about the money

Al Sharpton is all about the Benjamins, a daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner claims in a bombshell videotape.

Erica Snipes tees off on the reverend as interested primarily in money during a conversation secretly recorded by controversial conservative activist James OKeefes group, Project Veritas.

One of OKeefes investigators with a hidden camera posed as a Garner supporter during a protest last month at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island.

You think Al Sharpton is kind of like a crook in a sense? the investigator is heard asking Garners oldest daughter.

Hes about this, Snipes replies, rubbing her fingers together.

Hes about money with you? the undercover asks.

Yeah, Snipes responds.

Snipes, 24, also complained that the Staten Island director of Sharptons National Action Network, Cynthia Davis, scolded her for handing out street fliers about her fathers case that did not include NANs logo.

She started attacking me. Oh, I see that you got this flier out, how come you didnt add the logo? Snipes said.

Sharpton paid to keep quiet about lack of black TV programming: suit

The Rev. Al Sharptons silence was bought for a cool $3.8million so that he wouldnt complain about the lack of black cable TV programming, an explosive $20billion lawsuit alleges.

The National Association of African-American Owned Media claims Comcast paid Sharpton and his National Action Network cash donations in exchange for not screaming about its lack of solely black-owned channels.

The cable giant also assured that the activist would keep his $750,000-a-year gig as a host on MSNBC, which it co-owns, even as his ratings slump, the suit alleges.

The black community has been sold out by him, comedian Byron Allen, a co-plaintiff and owner of Entertainment Studios, told The Post on Monday.

Al Sharpton should be ashamed of himself for defending Comcast for a simple chicken-dinner payoff.

The lawsuit decrying the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner said that Comcast carries just one completely black-owned channel, The Africa Channel, and that Time Warner barely fares better.

But instead of Sharptons NAN and other activist groups such as the NAACP and National Urban League protesting the inequity, they and Comcast signed voluntary diversity agreements that whitewash the companys racist practices, the suit claims.

After the pacts were signed, Comcast shelled out $140,000 to NAN, $835,000 to the National Urban League and $30,000 to the NAACP, according to the suit.

The groups allegations of payouts also factor in Sharptons TV salary, which he has been receiving since starting to host MSNBCs PoliticsNation in 2011, the suit says.

Sharpton blasted the suit as frivolous at best. The activist concedes his group has gotten some donations from Comcast, but said, Its nowhere near $1 million.

NY GOP poster shows de Blasio, Sharpton as ’50 Shades …

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Tuesday, February 17, 2015, 6:28 PM

State Republicans are fit to be tied over Bill de Blasios close relationship with Al Sharpton and they want the mayor punished.

In a steamy send-up of the racy Fifty Shades of Grey movie, the GOP released a poster Tuesday that compared the mayor to the flicks submissive heroine and made Sharpton his dominant.

Tied up by his habitual lateness. Dominated by the duties of his office. Handcuffed by his poor management of the NYPD, the parody poster said, under the title Fifty Shades of Bill.

In the spoof, Sharpton sports a daringly bouffant hairstyle and a direct stare as Christian Grey, a twentysomething billionaire with a taste for pain.

The mayor, as Anastasia, has his face superimposed over the lead actress photo.

The posters pose means de Blasios head drapes dramatically and submissively across Sharptons shoulder.

A Working Families Party Production, the posters fine print said.

Directed by Al Sharpton.
