Al Sharpton Criticizes GOP for Lack of Courage Amid Voter Backlash Over Trump Policies

Al Sharpton criticizes the Republican Party's response to public outcry over Donald Trump's policies, asserting that they lack courage. During a recent discussion, Sharpton highlighted that many GOP members of Congress returned home early, reportedly to avoid contentious issues like the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and ongoing debates over immigration and healthcare policies. He argued that these lawmakers have shown a failure to stand firm, having supported controversial bills that negatively impact their constituents, such as those reducing Medicaid and SNAP benefits. Sharpton expressed concern that this retreat from town hall meetings reflects a misjudgment of voter dissatisfaction, which is likely to intensify as public anger grows.
