UNBIASED? PSH! Al Sharpton whines to Green Party Candidate Gary Johnson that he's taking Hillary's votes

The Libertarian Party candidate for president, Gary Johnson, joined Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation Sunday to discuss the prospects of a third party’s chances of success in 2016. But Sharpton’s real goal seemed to be to defend Hillary Clinton and discredit Libertarians by asking Johnson, “Do you ever have any slight fear even that you may be taking votes from Hillary Clinton and helping to elect Donald Trump?” But before Sharpton’s blatant shilling for Clinton he took shots at the Libertarian Party in ways that seemed to be designed to discredit them. “Now I couldn’t help but notice you’ve talked about criminal justice reform. You talked about reforming these sentencing laws,” Sharpton inquired of Johnson, “Can this be a new way of expanding the support of the Libertarian Party?” The MSNBC host implied that the Party’s position on criminal justice reform was a new play to expand themselves, but in reality those kinds of reforms have been important to them for a long time.

Johnson was also grilled by Sharpton about his support for the 1964 Civil Rights Act at recent Libertarian debate. “Some booed you— and I might add—you're the only candidate up there that said you would have voted for it,” Sharpton noted. “Does it make you uncomfortable about some of those in the Libertarian Party movement,” Sharpton continued, implying debate attendees were racists. “Well first of all, I'm the Libertarian nominee so the Libertarian Party chose me as their spokesperson along with Bill Weld,” Johnson shot back, defending the party. From there Sharpton cranked up his stumping for Clinton with this ridiculous question: Let me ask you this: In your quite moments when you have your time to reflect and really think through what you’re about, do you ever have any slight fear even that you may be taking votes from Hillary Clinton and helping to elect Donald Trump?
