Al Sharpton says the New York Post should not have accused him of shaking down businesses because he also shakes down the paper’s corporate owner.
“SHAKE DOWN AL” screamed the Post’s Sunday front page. “How Rev gets paid not to cry ‘racism!’”
The story ripped Sharpton for going easy on companies who donate to his National Action Network.
But in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Sharpton’s central defense was that News Corp — the company that owns the New York Post — also fills his coffers.
“I am not going to let them get around the fact that their company has been involved, has donated money, had us on their board of diversity.”
