We were waiting for this: Al Sharpton's R-E-S-P-I-C-T, but set to music

Earlier today we told you how Al Sharpton botched the lyrics to Aretha’s Franklin’s signature hit, “Respect” when he said on air, “R-E-S-P-I-C-T” by accident.

And you knew this was coming then. Here’s the gaffe, but set to Aretha’s music. Have a watch:

Flashback: Remember when then President Obama misspelled R-E-S-P-E-C-T, too? From 2014:

Obama misspelled “respect” while lauding the “Queen of Soul” before a White House concert featuring several musical legends.

“When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her,” Obama said, before the audience in the East Room erupted into laughter. He then continued, “”She had no idea it would become a rallying cry for African-Americans, and women, and then everyone who felt marginalized because of what they looked like or who they loved. They wanted some respect. Later, when somebody asked her why it had such an impact, she said, ‘I guess everybody just wants a little respect.’ Today, they still do.”

Now imagine if President Trump had done this…
