NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Reverend Al Sharpton appeared on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' on Monday, March 18, to share his take on former president Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Sharpton told host Joe Scarborough that Trump was running a "white supremacist campaign", making him a target for internet trolls on X (formerly Twitter).

Al Sharpton slams Donald Trump on 'Morning Joe'

"I think that he has taken off any cover that he is really running a clear white supremacist campaign," began Sharpton, as Scarborough asked about his reaction to Trump's recent speech in Ohio, where he infamously claimed that there would be a "bloodbath" if he loses the 2024 election.

"He has stood there and called Whites that tried to stop the certification of an election - which is tantamount to trying to overthrow the government - he has called them hostages, while there are real hostages in the Middle East at the same time," he continued.

"Imagine you were a family member of a hostage in the Middle East hearing him calling the people that tried to overthrow an election a hostage, equivalent to them," he said.

"And then he is going to call people of color that are coming from Central, Latin America, Haiti, 'animals,' and all kinds of names that dehumanize them," added Sharpton.

"You may disagree with a policy, but to make people less than human is exactly what Blacks went through in America. Being called three-fifths of a man, that we are now dealing with different policies based on those that are on the right that want to do it for different strokes, for different folks," the reverend said.

"I want to remind Donald Trump his own in-laws were immigrants (who) had to be brought into citizenship. So what makes their blood different than somebody's blood from South America (who) may be seeking a better life? And we need a better policy that would not have them come in a way that would be contrary to our view, but daily we can't act like their blood is poisonous," he concluded.
