“we are engaged right now in a Presidential primary contest on both the Republican and the Democratic side, and charges have been thrown back and forth, but I think America deserves better than this. I know in Robert Kennedy's campaign in 1968, we got better than this; and in Ronald Reagan's campaign in 1980 we also got better than this. They seemed to have appealed to the better angels in all of us. Unfortunately, today in Washington a man by the name of Al Sharpton is meeting with the Clinton administration and several Democratic Members of Congress. These Democratic Members of Congress continue to be in a close alliance with Mr. Sharpton, and there continues to be a close alliance between Mr. Sharpton and the Democratic Party, especially in New York City. Unfortunately, Mr. Sharpton is a man and a political figure who has been described by most media outlets as a racist and a bigot. Sadly, Mr. Sharpton's record has been deplorable, as have those Democrats who continue to embrace him and his views.”
