Sharpton's reaction to those who criticize his actions and rhetoric indicate either sheer hypocrisy or a complete lack of reality testing.
No matter that de Blasio has called for a moratorium on protests, Sharpton will continue. Just who will that act of defiance benefit?

When asked about the moratorium, Sharpton was straightforward.
“We’ve said at the National Action Network that [what] we’ve scheduled, we’re going to continue to do,” the reverend said.
When asked what he thought about those criticizing his rhetoric, the Rev let loose with what might be the quote of the year.
In fact, I had to check the URL bar to make sure I wasn’t reading the Onion.
Those criticizing him are, according to Sharpton, “Cheap demagogues… who are trying to score cheap points off the bodies of these police.”
I know what you’re thinking. Yes, you read that right.
This is the man who started his career with Tawana Brawley and is keeping it on life support with Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Yet, when the backlash hits, the “cheap demagogues” are somehow the ones decrying his tactics.
