Between long cuts to the so-called March for Our Lives rally to broadcast musical performances by leftist celebrities and obnoxious kids pushing gun control while accusing Republicans of being complicit with school shootings, MSNBC would chime in with their own cavalcade of left-wing political advocates cheering them on. During one such cut away, disgraced anchor Brian Williams and Al Sharpton boasted about how the kids were taking charge of their gun control efforts.
“Reverend, we've had large gatherings in Washington. It is very clear that by the close of business today, when the sun goes down, we won't ever have seen anything exactly like this,” Williams touted, which was the same thing they say about every left-wing rally since President Trump took office.
Sharpton, who has organized his own marches and riots, was thoroughly impressed:
Absolutely. You know, Brian, I've been to a lot of large gatherings, rallies, marches, some I've called. But none have we seen this dominated called and orchestrated by young people. I think they'll exceed the 500,000. But whatever the number, the makeup and the content of it is something that this nation has never seen. This is an awe-inspiring moment.
“The motto seems to be, ‘Lead, follow, or get out of the way,’” Williams added. “I think they've made that message clear. I think they'll impact where we are in American history in terms of a midterm election. I think we're seeing not just a moment but a real movement. But a real movement,” Sharpton added in agreement.
Williams wondered if Sharpton fine with the gun control kids “saying in effect to all the adults in their way, ‘you have failed us on this issue?’”
As if there would have been any other answer, Sharpton praised it, saying: “Not only am I fine with it. They're right.” He also highlighted how they had invited him to the event and how they weren’t allowing anyone to speak if they were over the age of 18. “The real aim must be dealing with the issue guns, not to deal with who got it done,” Sharpton concluded before they cut back to the march.
While they were glorifying the kids pushing adults aside, they failed to disclose that it was adults running gun control lobbying groups who organized everything and leftist celebrities who were bankrolling parts of it.

March for Our Lives
March 24, 2018
12:09:34 PM EasternBRIAN WILLIAMS: I'll tell you who is here with us, that's the reverend Al Sharpton. Reverend, we've had large gatherings in Washington. It is very clear that by the close of business today, when the sun goes down, we won't ever have seen anything exactly like this.
AL SHARPTON: Absolutely. You know, Brian, I've been to a lot of large gatherings, rallies, marches, some I've called. But none have we seen this dominated called and orchestrated by young people. I think they'll exceed the 500,000. But whatever the number, the makeup and the content of it is something that this nation has never seen. This is an awe-inspiring moment.
WILLIAMS: The motto seems to be, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way."
SHARPTON: I think they've made that message clear. I think they'll impact where we are in American history in terms of a midterm election. I think we're seeing not just a moment but a real movement. But a real movement.
WILLIAMS: And you're fine with the fact that they are saying in effect to all the adults in their way, “you have failed us on this issue?”
SHARPTON: I think they are-- Not only am I fine with it. They're right. Which is why, when they invited me to come but said nobody is speaking who is over 18 years old, I said I want to be there to encourage them, because they are making the difference. The real aim must be dealing with the issue guns, not to deal with who got it done.
