Ugly stuff from the Harris campaign.
The Kamala Harris campaign is unraveling as new revelations expose a massive ethical scandal involving MSNBC’s Al Sharpton, who accepted a $500,000 donation to his nonprofit, the National Action Network, from the Harris campaign just weeks before conducting a fawning interview with the Democratic nominee. This damning conflict of interest not only calls into question Sharpton’s credibility but also shines a glaring spotlight on the ethically bankrupt tactics of the Harris campaign and the complicity of a media network that failed to hold one of its own accountable.
The facts are undeniable: the Harris campaign shelled out a jaw-dropping half-million dollars to Sharpton’s nonprofit, and mere weeks later, Sharpton conducted a softball interview with Harris on MSNBC. The network, now scrambling to cover its tracks, claims it was “unaware” of the donation at the time. But how plausible is that? This story was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon on November 12, and further
detailed by multiple outlets, including on-air coverage by conservative programs. MSNBC cannot feign ignorance—it’s simply too late for that.
What’s even more appalling is Sharpton’s continued presence on the network. Since the scandal broke, Sharpton has made seven guest appearances on MSNBC, in addition to hosting his weekend show, PoliticsNation. Prior to the exposure of this ethical breach, Sharpton was a regular fixture, appearing 30 times between October 1 and November 11, practically functioning as a Harris surrogate under the guise of journalistic integrity. Yet, despite the glaring ethical violation, MSNBC has refused to hold Sharpton accountable or even publicly acknowledge the impropriety of his actions.
1/ This is a massive ethical breach by Sharpton & MSNBC. There is zero Q that Sharpton should be fired for this—taking a half million $$ donation from a presidential campaign right before you interview the candidate? And u don’t disclose it?? Please.

Let’s be clear: accepting a half-million-dollar donation from a presidential campaign and then conducting a favorable interview with that candidate—without disclosing the financial connection—is a gross breach of journalistic ethics. It’s the kind of behavior that would spark outrage and immediate consequences if it were tied to any conservative media figure. Yet here we are, watching MSNBC and the Harris campaign act as though this is business as usual. It’s beyond scandalous; it’s an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
This incident also underscores the deep rot within the Harris campaign itself. A campaign that operates with integrity would never engage in such blatantly unethical practices. But this is Kamala Harris we’re talking about—a candidate whose campaign has been riddled with missteps, hypocrisy, and now, outright pay-to-play tactics. The $500,000 payment isn’t just a lapse in judgment; it’s a calculated move to buy favorable coverage in the critical weeks leading up to the election. It’s a desperate act from a campaign that clearly knows it cannot win on merit or policy.
The implications of this scandal are far-reaching. If the Harris campaign is willing to funnel enormous sums of money into nonprofits tied to media personalities, what else are they willing to do to manipulate public perception? This kind of transactional politics corrodes trust in the democratic process and reinforces the belief that the political and media elites are in cahoots, operating in a closed-loop system designed to deceive voters.
Sharpton’s actions and MSNBC’s inaction also raise broader questions about media bias and the erosion of journalistic standards. Imagine, for a moment, if a conservative media figure had accepted a $500,000 donation from the Trump campaign and then conducted a glowing interview with the former president. The outrage would be swift and unrelenting, with calls for resignations and network boycotts. Yet when it’s Sharpton and Harris, the left-wing media establishment looks the other way.
MSNBC’s claim of ignorance rings hollow. The network had ample opportunity to address this scandal after it was first reported, but instead, they chose to bury their heads in the sand. This is not a lapse; it’s a willful abdication of responsibility. The network’s refusal to hold Sharpton accountable speaks volumes about its priorities: protecting its own and shielding the Harris campaign from criticism, no matter the cost to its credibility.
The American people deserve better. They deserve a media that prioritizes integrity over partisanship and campaigns that win on ideas, not backroom deals. This scandal is a reminder of how deeply broken our political and media systems have become under the Biden-Harris regime, which thrives on corruption, collusion, and cover-ups. It’s time for accountability—starting with Al Sharpton’s immediate removal from MSNBC and a full investigation into the Harris campaign’s financial dealings. Anything less is a slap in the face to voters and a further erosion of trust in our institutions.
