Al Sharpton’s television show on MSNBC used child actors in a scripted video to criticize Mitt Romney.
The video was previewed by Sharpton saying, “It got us thinking how these GOP candidates really act like a bunch of little kids, who just can’t play nice together.”
Sharpton then presented the video which depicted how the endorsement process for Mitt Romney has unfolded. When the children of the video are told that Mitt Romney is coming to the party, they made snide comments about him not sharing, keeping all the delegates to himself, being a meanie and being a flip-flopper.
The video goes on to the children being told that he is going to be the nominee, and them expressing disgust by saying he has cooties and is a “poopy pants.” Towards the end of the video when the women asked the children if they wanted to endorse Mitt Romney, they all said no and proceeded to throw temper tantrums.
At the end of the video the children are threatened to not being allowed to attend “the play date” in Tampa, so they all reluctantly endorse Mitt Romney, including one child addin, “but he’s no Reagan.”
Although Sharpton’s attempt to make a point was mildly funny for a whole two seconds, this video he used to push his political agenda, is pretty childish in itself.
