Al Sharpton’s latest outburst on MSNBC’s Deadline takes the cake for irony overload: the race-baiting reverend who built a career on fabricated narratives like the Tawana Brawley hoax now accuses President Trump of being no longer dealing with reality. This gem dropped Friday, with Sharpton pontificating that Trump’s post-election pushback on voter fraud claims is some kind of mental break. Coming from a guy whose own reality has included defending anti-Semite chants and dodging FBI scrutiny over his tax-dodging empire, it’s peak projection. Sharpton’s not just wrong; he’s weaponizing media airtime to delegitimize a leader who, love him or hate him, has been the most pro-2A president in modern history—appointing gun-friendly judges, defending the NRA against witch hunts, and vetoing red-flag expansions.
For the 2A community, this isn’t mere cable TV bluster; it’s a harbinger of the left’s playbook heading into 2025. Sharpton’s reality-denial smear is code for ramping up attacks on Trump as unhinged, paving the way for renewed assaults on our rights under the guise of protecting democracy. Remember, the same crowd that gaslit us through 2020’s mostly peaceful riots and Hunter Biden’s laptop suppression now cries foul when Trump highlights election irregularities—many of which echo the vulnerabilities exploited in states with lax gun laws and mail-in voting chaos. If Trump regains the White House, expect Sharpton-style hysteria to fuel ATF crackdowns, bump stock bans 2.0, and state-level confiscation pushes disguised as common-sense reforms. It’s no coincidence: demonizing Trump distracts from their failures, like rising crime in defunded blue cities where armed citizens are increasingly the last line of defense.
The implications cut deeper for gun owners. Trump’s resilience against these smears bolsters our fight—his SCOTUS picks like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have already shredded unconstitutional gun restrictions in Bruen. Sharpton’s rant? Just more noise from a fading demagogue whose audience shrinks as real Americans prioritize self-defense over sanctimonious lectures. Stay vigilant, 2A patriots: while the left clings to their alternate reality, we’re locked and loaded in the real one, ready to defend the Republic Trump champions.
