Wednesday on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” MSNBC host Al Sharpton said if Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump continues “roaring to the top of the Republican ticket,” there will be a ” showdown on where this country is going to go in terms of diversity and race in America.”

Sharpton said, “The other side is Donald Trump is roaring through. Whoever wins the Democratic side is going to have to deal with Donald Trump. We can not ignore that Donald Trump is running and is roaring to the top of the Republican ticket using race, using xenophobia, using anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, and the character that it shows of his voters means that we have a showdown on where this country is going to go in terms of diversity and race in America in November. And let’s saddle up because it’s going to be a long, bumpy ride.”
