Reverend Al Sharpton arrived in Del Rio Texas on Thursday, reportedly getting a tour of the Haitian immigrant encampment on the U.S./Mexico southern border.
While in Del Rio, however, protestors heckled and shouted down Sharpton at the international Bridge while he was trying to speak during a press conference.
A man could be heard telling Al Sharpton, “We don’t want your racism in Texas. Get out of here!”
