Reverend Al Sharpton's involvement in Virginia politics is characterized as a "shakedown" business model. The segment alleges that Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN) trade "absolution" for corporate or political donations following racial controversies. This tactic is compared to the historical practices of Jesse Jackson and the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences.

Following his contentious testimony in Congress, Eric Holder spoke at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference, where he complained of "unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity." Holder used the phrase "forget about me" repeatedly to draw attention to the perceived mistreatment of himself and President Obama. The hosts interpret this as a strategic use of racial politics to deflect from legitimate oversight regarding DOJ documents.
