Sage Steele Wishes Al Sharpton Would 'Go Away' But Ironically That's How Everyone Feels About Her

Former ESPN host Sage Steele is running her ignorant mouth again—only this time it’s about the legendary civil rights leader Al Sharpton. Following the shocking resignation of Harvard University’s first Black president, Claudine Gay, Sharpton sounded off via X/Twitter.

“President Gay’s resignation is about more than a person or a single incident. This is an attack on every Black woman in this country who’s put a crack in the glass ceiling,” Sharpton wrote.

Gay announced her resignation on Tuesday, but will remain on the faculty at Harvard. Racism and the conservative attack on diversity and true institutional change are to blame—yet Steele predictably sees things differently.

It wasn’t long before she weirdly invoked the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Remember Martin Luther King, Mr. Sharpton?” Steele continued. “I think you do judge me by the content of my character, not the color of my skin. What happened with Claudine Gay? There are some character issues, which is why she was forced to step down.”

Even though it’s unclear what the hell she’s even talking about, she couldn’t help to elaborate on the nonsense. “Any racist attack should be denounced,” Steele said. “What about Claudine Gay herself when she was asked how many times by [Rep.] Elise Stefanik, ‘Is it wrong? Do you denounce any antisemitic comments, any about the genocide of Jewish students on your campus?’ And she couldn’t even answer that. Clearly, she refused to answer it.”

Steele loves to engage in revisionist history and propping up white supremacist values—which is obvious when you’re a regular on Fox News. Ironically, she wants Sharpton to disappear when that’s exactly how we feel about her.
