"How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side, say January 6th was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses? You lose the moral high ground."
As the warzone-like video clips and images flashed across the screen Thursday morning, the crew on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program were seemingly in agreement that campus agitators were making Democrats look bad ahead of the November elections.
Rev. Al Sharpton was particularly unamused at what he was seeing and noted that he agreed with co-host Joe Scarborough's assessment of the optics.
"The politics of that, what is being robbed by them not doing that, Joe, where you and I agree. How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side say Jan. 6th was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses, you lose the moral high ground," Sharpton said.
"The right will wrongly try to act like see they're violent and they talk about January 6th. First of all, January 6th and the violence here is not the same thing."
First things first, Al Sharpton of all people pretending he's some arbiter of what's right and wrong as it relates to riots is hilarious considering his sordid history, but I digress.
Sharpton's comparison of the anti-Israel campus mobs to the January 6th defendants was interesting when one takes into account that, unlike the J6 defendants who have had the book thrown at them in addition to many being held without bond for long periods, the pro-Hamas demonstrators likely will not spend much if any time in jail.
