“MSNBC was unconscious of the donations made to the National Action Nettoil,” an MSNBC spokesperson telderly the Washington Free Beacon, which first broke the story.
Harris sat down for a frifinishly intersee on Oct. 20 with Sharpton, an uncover helper of Harris and the Democratic Party.

“Everybody understands who Al Sharpton is… but this senses appreciate a bridge too far. A huge bridge too far… This is not landing well,” they persistd. “This has a bit of a filthy sense to it… These slfinishergs happen and they don’t bounce around MSNBC all that much. Like people fair don’t nurture. This one senses, I’d say, there’s a proestablisher disnominatement. There’s a sense of appreciate, ugh, we don’t necessitate this. This senses charitable of grifty and gross.”
The insider says everyone at MSNBC understands Sharpton is given a “expansive berth” and that he’s “not held to the same journaenumerateic standard” as others at MSNBC since he’s far more understandn outside the nettoil for his high-profile political and social activism. That shelp, the argue reeks of a “pay-to-carry out” scheme.
“There is a sense among the people I’ve spoken to that this senses appreciate someslfinisherg wrong and that someslfinisherg should be done about it,” the MSNBC includeee shelp. “I don’t understand what that someslfinisherg is… That’s a lot of money! That’s not a petite matter… It fair doesn’t sit well with people.”

They, however, cast mistrust that Sharpton will face any consequences, inestablishing Fox News Digital “Generpartner speaking, people do slfinishergs and they charitable of get away with them at MSNBC, I unkind, other than in the Me Too era.”
“I don’t nurture whether somebody does someslfinisherg to Al. I’m more interested in where does this fit into who we are,” the MSNBC insider shelp. “How does this s— happen? How does half a million dollars alter hands?… How can you possibly slfinisherk you’re helderlying somebody to account in an intersee when they give money to you? We’re telderly not to obtain tickets to a ballgame!”
“It’s got a authentic bulls— sense to it. People who appreciate Al and admire him and comprehfinish what his appreciate is… it ranges from disnominatement to disgust. Not a whole ton of surpelevate, I will inestablish you that,” they persistd. “There are some organizational rules- I comprehfinish he has branch offent rules, but they can’t be that, that you give money and then you get an intersee. That can’t be adchooseable… I slfinisherk a three-year-elderly would see a potential struggle in this.”

The MSNBC staffer was obtainn aback by the nettoil being caught flat-footed by the argue.
“For MSNBC to commence by saying they weren’t conscious of otto commence with, appreciate, wow. That’s someslfinisherg… Everyslfinisherg about this stinks,” they shelp. “Like, why did the campaign not slfinisherk that this would come out and be a repartner horrible see for them? I unkind, if Kamala Harris had become pdwellnt, it’d be a argue!… You’re not gonna sway my opinion for tickets to a ballgame but for half a million dollars? You might!”
“That charitable of money should not be changing hands to people who are coscarry outing being a journaenumerate. Maybe that’s not a fair term becainclude I don’t understand, is he a journaenumerate? I don’t understand. But that fair senses a little bit appreciate pay to carry out and it doesn’t sense right In an organization that we’re all still part of. I comprehfinish that not everyone is held to the same standard, but there should be a set of common rules. And my empathetic of this is that this would be fractureing a rule… it senses appreciate I couldn’t get away with that,” the includeee inserted.
MSNBC did not promptly reply to Fox News Digital’s seek for comment.
