Al Sharpton Joins The Critics Of Donald Trump's Epstein Deflection Tactics

Al Sharpton is standing on business and calling BS on Donald Trump's latest moves amid the Epstein drama.

The civil rights activist is urging the public to take the politician's words with a pinch of salt after he claimed he was given a lump sum of money to canvass votes for Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump has reportedly been embroiled in the viral Jeffrey Epstein case, a tale that the President has tried to shake in recent weeks.

Thehuman rights activist says the politician's latest accusation against him is another trick in his bag to make the public forget about his connection to the alleged sex trafficker. Sharpton trashed Trump's claim that he got $600,000 in payment to hop on Harris' campaign train.

The media personality added that Trump's new style of attacking Black celebrities, such as Barack Obama and himself, is rooted in desperation. 

He stated that when his claim that Obama committed treason against America did not stick, he turned his attack to Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé, claiming that they got paid to support Harris.

According to TMZ, Sharpton concluded that the entrepreneur is back to his old ways of going after the Blacks, since his political career took off on various conspiracies against Obama.

Sharpton's comments joined several other celebrities who have expressed their opinions on Trump's sneaky ways of avoiding confrontations with the allegations against him.

As shared by The Blast, Fallon devised a very creative way on "The Tonight Show" to slam the politician as his show opened. "The whole country wants to know where's the Epstein list, but Trump would rather change the subject," Fallon began.

He reviewed many ways Trump has propagated various headlines, scenarios, and sensational rumors, all to deflect from what truly matters- his connection to Epstein.

The TV host referred to Trump's friendship with Epstein, noting that he had reportedly sent him birthday cards and gifts in the past.

Fallon condemned the President's latest attempt to get the NFL to revert the "Washington Commanders" name back to "Redskins” despite the latter being retired in 2020 for its racially insensitive history.

The 50-year-old did not stop there; he also saw a fine chance to seek revenge against Trump for his comments about Colbert and his prediction that his show would be next on the chopping block.

Recall that Colbert's "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" was taken off CBS's list for a renewal after May 2026, and Trump was beyond excited at the announcement that one of his nemesis was gone.

He stated that since his pictures with Epstein became accessible to the public, he has been perceived as an easy target, with TV hosts vocal about their disdain for his administration, even before it began.

Fallon and Colbert did not bridle their tongues when reaction to Trump's victory. The duo on their respective shows described it as a bleak period for America, while stating their concerns for vulnerable citizens and immigrants in the face of Trump's highly likely unfavorable policies.

The politician was reportedly hinted about his name appearing in the alleged sex offender's case by Attorney General Pam Bondi in May. 

However, CNN shared that things took a dramatic turn when the House Oversight Committee passed a vote to subpoena the Department of Justice for Epstein files.

The move is reportedly coming from MAGA Republicans, making it a more slippery territory for Trump. They have also voted to get Epstein's partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is on a 20-year prison sentence, subpoenaed to testify.

Trump is still in the clear as it stands because nothing in the documents allegedly points to him doing anything illegal in his interactions with the alleged sex offender. 

It is worthy noting that the President and late Epstein were friends decades before he was charged with sexual abuse and eventually died in prison in 2019.

Trust Trump to never back down from any confrontation. The Blast reported earlier in July that the President took to his Truth Social account to address some issues he had with the swirling reports of his ties to Epstein.

According to him, everyone who gobbled the reports of his involvement in Epstein's dealings was not a steadfast supporter of his vision. He accused the democrats of using these kinds of false stories to deceive the public and bury their corruption against America during their administrations.

He accused the radical democrats of teaming up with his former supporters to take him down and water down his successful administration. 

The politician blew his trumpets, affirming that he had achieved more in six months than any U.S. president had, and the Epstein list was just a means to deny him his due recognition.
