Al Sharpton Literally Flips Show Upside Down to Protest …

As MSNBCs Al Sharpton explained Thursday evening, there are some things about this weeks election results that just dont make sense. In several states, voters approved measures to raise the minimum wage but also voted in Republican senators who oppose a wage hike. In Colorado, a personhood amendment failed while Republican Cory Gardner beat Democratic Senator Mark Udall.

And on top of that, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) is set to chair the Environment and Public Works Committee despite openly denying the existence of man-made climate change. wait, i get it now. the gop is playing opposites. Wait, I get it now, the GOP is playing opposites, Sharpton declared.

Hey, I can play too, the continued, before snapping his fingers and literally flipping upside down on the screen.

I love opposite day. Ill sleep in late, wear blue jeans, and maybe even eat a cheeseburger. It will be a great day, Sharpton said. But until then, did Republicans think we wouldnt know theyre fooling the American people with their opposite day games? Nice try, but we gotcha.

ST. LOUIS (AP) The Rev. Al Sharpton returned to St. Louis Friday to renew calls for the federal prosecution of a white police officer who shot and killed a black 18-year-old in the nearby suburb of Ferguson.

A St. Louis County grand jury's deliberations about whether to indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown's killing are expected to be complete by mid-November. The U.S. Justice Department is also investigating whether Wilson violated Brown's civil rights and conducting a broad investigation of police in Ferguson and the St. Louis area.

Sharpton returned to New York after meeting with Brown's parents and local activists. He's scheduled to again join Brown's parents Monday at a get-out-the-vote rally in St. Louis.

Sharpton's breakfast speech was followed by a training of volunteer "justice disciples" to monitor the police response to anticipated protests over the upcoming grand jury decision.
