Hilarious: James Woods Brutally Trolls Al Sharpton for Misspelling 'Respect'

Share

I miss Al Sharpton having a daily show on MSNBC. I mean, sure liberals and teleprompters everywhere are probably thrilled that he’s been relegated to a weekend time slot where the entirety of MSNBC’s demographic is nursing a hangover, but I personally love the gaffes, veiled racism and sight of a sexagenarian trying to adapt his style to the new political correctness.

Alas, from his obscure Sunday morning slot at MSNBC these days, we’re now only hearing about him because of a tragic event: The death of American legend Aretha Franklin. Even more tragically, his idiocy is taking away, ever so slightly, from the career of an American trailblazer.

At least, however, we had James Woods to turn Sharpton’s unfortunate malapropism into one hilarious tweet.

Has Al Sharpton finally lost his marbles completely?

The whole thing began on Sharpton’s weekly MSNBC show, which I believe is watched primarily by the production staff. Rev. Al, who somehow managed to find time out of his pastoral duties to prepare for the event, lambasted Trump for calling Omarosa Manigault Newman a “dog.”

To Sharpton, that’s apparently way worse than publishing a book filled with poorly sourced accusations.

“I think you might’ve learned the lesson this week, sometimes the dog bites back with a book deal,” Sharpton said.

“So in the words of my late friend Aretha Franklin, show some R-E-S-P-I-C-T.”



Please give Al Sharpton back that daily show, MSNBC. Please. I will literally buy Chris Hayes the most expensive pair of emo glasses you can find if you put this guy back on every afternoon.

If MSNBC won’t acquiesce, however, James Woods has a better idea: Maybe Sharpton should be a “Wheel of Fortune” contestant:

I’d like to buy James Woods a beer, Pat.

James Woods pretty much wins Twitter on a regular basis. Just in case you’ve forgotten, here are some of his greatest hits, starting with his response to CNN Jim Acosta’s hissy fit regarding Trump’s “enemy of the people” remark:

He’s said plenty of stuff regarding Hillary Clinton, but this might have been his funniest:

But my all-time favorite involved his advice to Parkland survivor Kyle Kashuv when he owned fellow survivor (and gun-grabbing fan) David Hogg. It began after Hogg tweeted a gun-control metaphor involving wildfires and Kashuv noticed there was, ahem, a problem with it.

Woods’ advice was both avuncular and hilarious:

That’s why we love James Woods and think he deserves all of the respect in the world. Oh, sorry — respict.
