"I rarely put up a personal plea of any kind," she acknowledged at the top of her clip before going onto detail the circumstances that inspired it.

"But I just watched a video of a young man taunting an orthodox rabbi who had his hands down," she continued. "And this boy punched this rabbi, just punched him and knocked him out for absolutely no reason other than the fact that he was being hateful," she said, getting emotional as she did so.

"We've reached a point in our country, the United States of America, where we're becoming divided. And we're becoming divided by people who claim to be politicians, people who claim to be acting in our best interests. They're not, they're really not. "

Sharon shared her plea for unity and compassion

Sharon continued: "Love, kindness, humanity, dignity, these are the things that are in our best interests, these are in the best interests of our children." 

She ended with a powerful statement, simply going: "We're called the United States of America for a reason."
