Black church group retracts 'inappropriate' call for Al Sharpton's suspension over donations from Harris camp
Fox News
The National Black Church Initiative retracted its calls for MSNBC to suspend and investigate Rev. Al Sharpton over donations his nonprofit accepted from the Harris campaign.
The Washington Free Beacon broke the news that the Harris campaign had made two donations of $250,000 to Sharpton's nonprofit National Action Network. The donations, made on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1, came ahead of a friendly interview Sharpton conducted with Harris on Oct. 20.

The National Black Church Initiative slammed Sharpton in a statement shared on its Facebook page last Tuesday, saying the payment raised "significant moral and journalism ethics" concerns. The coalition, which says it represents 150,000 churches across the country, said it would "support Rev. Sharpton's suspension" until an investigation was complete.
