Democrats’ Failure to Condemn Protests Resulting in Loss of ‘Moral High Ground’

MSNBC host Al Sharpton criticized Democrats for failing to condemn the pro-Palestine student protests on college campuses in the United States during a segment on “Morning Joe”. Panelist Donny Deutsch called on Joe Biden to show leadership and explicitly denounce the protests. Co-host Joe Scarborough expressed frustration with Democrats for not addressing the issue head-on, emphasizing the importance of calling out what is wrong. Sharpton pointed out that not condemning the protests undermines the Democrats’ moral standing, drawing parallels to the January 6 Capitol riot.
