I don’t think I’m alone in saying this: Al Sharpton should not be on national television. Then again, if he wasn’t on TV, we’d miss out on classic moments like these.
David Rutz, video editor at the Washington Free Beacon, has a knack for putting together video compilations showing the asshattery of liberal pundits and politicians.
While working on montages of Al Sharpton, like this one and this one, Rutz noticed something strange. Well, he noticed a lot that was strange.
In particular, Rutz observed a certain pattern to the way that “Rev Rat” responds to anything that a conservative says. Here’s what he saw:
Whenever Al Sharpton plays a clip of a conservative speaking, he takes the last comment from that person and simply repeats it back in the form of a question. It’s as though someone told Al that doing this suddenly makes him look smarter and more credible.
It doesn’t do either. It only makes him look dumber and more obnoxious.
Thankfully, David Rutz cared enough to assemble recent occurrences of this bizarre phenomenon into an extremely enjoyable video clip just for you.
Unfortunately for Rutz, this means that he has now logged untold hours culling through footage from Sharpton’s show, and for this we offer him our condolences. But, the good news for Al is that he has at least one viewer.
Here’s the video clip “17 times Al Sharpton repeated what he just heard in the form of a question” from David Rutz:
