One of Donald Trump's top potential picks for his vice presidential nominee was picked apart on Saturday by MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton.
Sharpton, a longtime acquaintance of Trump and a civil rights leader prior to his time hosting a show on the news network, interviewed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) over the weekend. The Republican lawmaker recently with another MSNBC host, Joy Reid, over Donalds' comments suggesting that Black marriage rates were higher during the era of "Jim Crow."
As he did in his interview with Reid, Donalds told Sharpton that his comments, "During Jim Crow, the Black family was together," were being spun for political purposes.

"I didn't say any of those thing!" he protested.
But Sharpton had tough words for Donalds, at one point asking him, "How can you even live with yourself?"
When he was asked what Jim Crow did to help Black families, a visibly frustrated Donalds lost his cool and said, "Oh my gosh." At another point, he asked Sharpton when he was going to get it through his "skull."
"It's because our skulls have ears," Sharpton said.
