Rev Al Sharpton Shades Trump at Aretha Franklin's Funeral
Rev. Al Sharpton wants people to teach President Trump the meaning of respect.
Speaking at Aretha Franklin's funeral in Detroit on Friday, Sharpton paid respect to the Queen of Soul and her legacy but didn't hide his contempt for the president.
"You know the other Sunday on my show, I misspelled 'Respect,' and a lot of y'all corrected me," Sharpton said in his speech, which referred to how he used the name of Franklin's biggest hit to criticize Trump's feud with former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman. "Now I want y'all to help me correct President Trump to teach him what it means."
Sharpton's dig received a standing ovation. After a moment, he continued, "I say that because when word went out that Ms. Franklin passed, Trump said, 'She used to work for me.' No, she used to perform for you. She worked for us."
Many high-profile figures attended Franklin's funeral, including musicians Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder, and Hillary and Bill Clinton.
