The Rev. Al Sharpton, what a guy. "Sharpton's most controversial appearances in the news came in 1987 when he, C. Vernon Mason, and Alton Maddox acted as advisor for Tawana Brawley. Brawley was a black teenager from Wappingers Falls, New York who claimed that she was raped and sodomized for several days by six white police officers before being covered in excrement and placed in a trash bag. These claims were later challenged. Following the incident, although Brawley refused to speak to the media or authorities, Sharpton and other advisors decided to speak up for her. Sharpton said that to cooperate with the state Attorney General Robert Abrams, a Jew, would be "to sit down with Mr. Hitler". All three implied that Mario Cuomo was tied to organized crime. Sharpton has never recanted any of the allegations he made surrounding the incident and maintains that he has always believed Brawley."
