MSNBC’s Al Sharpton compares anti-Israel demonstrations to Jan 6: Democrats losing ‘moral high ground’ [Video]

MSNBC host Al Sharpton compared anti-Israel protests to the events of Jan. 6 on Thursday and said Democrats were losing the “moral high ground” by not calling out the demonstrations on college campuses. 

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” showed footage of police moving in on UCLA’s anti-Israel encampment, as host Joe Scarborough demanded Democrats speak out against these demonstrations. 

“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.  

“Good Lord, don’t make a parallel to Jan. 6th,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said in response. “For some reason that’s not allowed.”
