Fox’s Eric Bolling Slams Sharpton: ‘Biggest Racist In This Whole World, And 2nd Might Be Eric Holder’

VIDEO

On The Five Tuesday afternoon, Eric Bolling declared Al Sharpton “the biggest racist in this whole world right now,” claiming that his unsubstantiated condemnation of George Zimmerman’s racist motivations constituted a virulent form of racism itself.

The panel had been arguing that Attorney General Eric Holder had inserted race into the Zimmerman case during a speech to the annual convention of the NAACP in Florida, despite the fact that an earlier FBI investigation had determined that no race-based animus could be determined in Zimmerman’s actions.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld wondered if perhaps the accusation of racism was as inflammatory as racist speech itself.

“When is being called a racist considered hate speech?” Gutfeld asked. “When you realize the racist you’re accusing of being a racist is not a racist, doesn’t that qualify as hate speech?”

“Under that definition,” Bolling said, “the biggest racist in the whole world right now? Al Sharpton. And maybe second might be Eric Holder for applying Stand Your Ground to the Zimmerman case!”
