Radio host: Sharpton visit 'political'

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A local radio host is calling Rev. Al Sharpton’s visit to Indianapolis on Wednesday politically-motivated.

Abdul Hakim-Shabazz, a local radio host and blogger, provided some commentary on Sharpton’s visit. He said he believes the visit is, in part, a way for Democrats to make Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard look bad so Democrats are in a better spot in the next mayoral election.
