Al Sharpton
The death toll in Texas due to flooding has hit 21 – and Rev. Al Sharpton, MSNBC host, has now raised the question: Are the disasters and deaths due to God’s will, or climate change?
In a tweet, Sharpton wrote: “#KeepingItReal QOTD: Do you think the #TexasFlooding is related to climate control or God’s rebuke? Call 8775325797 or tweet me your thoughts.”
Twitter was quick to react on the Question of the Day segment.
“GREAT question,” wrote R. Brock Olson, Mediaite found. “We’re really getting to the bottom of things. And come to think of it, where does rain come from anyway? @TheRevAl.”
And another: “So @TheRevAl Are you saying you think #Katrina was ‘God’s Rebuke’ too?”
Eric D. Silver tweeted: “@TheRevAl Do you think The Rev’s dumb questions are related to a broken education system or just plain idocy? Call 8775325797 or tweet me.”
Jonah Goldberg, from National Review Online, tweeted: “Whoa. I think I knew what ‘Keeping it Real’ meant. Now I’m not so sure.”
Yet another: “If Pat Robertson suggested it was ‘God’s rebuke,’ it would be front-page news.”
Even Glenn Greenwald weighed in, mocking Sharpton.
“@WraithKenny @Pophat @TheRevAl 9/11: Bad Foreign Policy or God’s Rebuke to America over homosexuals? Hey, I was just asking!”
Sharpton, meanwhile, wrote on his Twitter account in response: “Interesting dialogue on my radio show QOTD abt the #TexasFlooding. Though I don’t agree w/ many, the discussion must continue.”
