On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” anchor Chris Wallace questioned White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on President Donald Trump’s attacks on Rep Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and the city of Baltimore.
Wallace said, “This goes back to what happens with the four members of ‘The Squad.’ Nobody objects to the president defending his border policy, but this seems to be the worst kind of racial stereotyping.”
He continued, “Black congressman, majority-black district, I mean, no human being would want to live there? Is He saying people who live in Baltimore are new, not human beings?”

Wallace shot back, “You say it has little to do with race, there is a clear pattern here. The fact is before his inauguration. The president tweeted about John Lewis, a black congressman. This is before his inauguration. ‘He should spend time in his crime-infested district.’ Then, two weeks ago he goes after these four members of “The Squad,” all women of color, and says they should go back to the crime-infested countries from which they come. Then he talks about Elijah Cummings, and he says his district is rat and rodent-infested. Infested, it sounds like vermin. It sounds subhuman, and these are all six members of Congress for people of color.”
Mulvaney said, “I think you’re spending way too much time reading between the lines.”
Wallace said, “I’m not reading between the lines, I’m reading the lines.”

On Fox I watch Dobbs, Tucker & Hannity. That’s it. I dropped Fox & Friends in the morning because I know more than them, and so does anyone reading this board.
Chris Wallace is an example of how the seed doesn’t fall far from the tree. His old man Mike Wallace was a liberal and he is he is Dad’s boy. I am a Fox watcher, but whenever Chris Wallace is featured, I tune it out.
Anyone noticed how the media ignored the two previous Baltimore Mayors who were forced to resign due to corruption?
Anyone noticed how the media ignores the fact that Nancy Pelosi's father was Mayor of Baltimore and had extensive ties to organized crime and the Mob?
A Republican says Baltimore is infested with rats, they mean
https://www.orkin.com/press-room/chicago-tops-orkin-rattiest-cities-list-third-year-row Baltimore has a rat problem.
When Democrat hears Baltimore is infested with rats, they hear it is full of blacks.
Quitthy Wawith is a gwait, gwait journowist. How a man with such a comical lisp could ever get a job as a talking head on a major network is beyond my understanding, his doubtfully great father notwithstanding.
This is an awful headline, especially for Breitbart.
The quote of "vermin" in the headline is Wallace's words, not President Trump's.
Wallace shot back, “You say it has little to do with race, there is a clear pattern here... Then he talks about Elijah Cummings, and he says his district is rat and rodent-infested. Infested, it sounds like vermin. It sounds subhuman, and these are all six members of Congress for people of color.”People who read Breitbart' headline will think Trump called African-Americans "vermin," when he did not. That was Wallace's interpretation.

The left mocks the South all the time.
Hey, Chris, rats and (other) rodents are even worse than subhuman. They are not human at all! And there is nothing wrong with saying that. Only a racist could think that it is okay for poor/minorities to live in those conditions. But no, you call Trump a racist for bringing attention to the abysmal living conditions of many people in DemocRAT districts.
If the president were to comment on how black the clouds in the sky were just before a thunderstorm, it would be 24/7 racism charges.
When the next Democrat gets in the White House there will be no more legally elected presidents in this country.
Wallace is the one who stereotypes. He supposes people of color can’t be held responsible for their condition. Trump supposes, incorrectly, that black people can be self-responsible, when we all know they can’t be, and so we must never, never, never say this.
Obviously, this stereotype doesn’t apply to Asians. Yellow is the new white. Or, Bananas. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside. Nor does this apply to “white Hispanics.” They’re called Coconuts. Brown on the outside, white on the inside. Nor does this apply to the growing number of successful blacks in this country and in the rest of the world. You know, the Oreos.
Mr. Wallace appears to know right much about vermin.
Wallace is just twisting Trump’s words to fit what his (Wallace’s) racist mind really thinks about blacks, and then calling Trump a racist in order to fit his politics and the democrats’ agenda. It’s what democraps do. Accuse others of what they do and what they think.
Dear Chris dumbass. Please provide the racist comments you attribute to PDJT verbatim. Waiting patiently.
Perfect. More or less what we all knew was coming.
Keep them on their heels. When they fall back to obviously dishonest smears using their one and only Race Card, you can’t help but see that they have no other recourse.
Lose the “argument”, play the race card.
It’s refreshing to see President Trump pointing this out today. It seemed he was building towards this, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Should be entertaining to see where he’s ultimately headed with this.
If you criticize a black democrat your a racist....
Trump needs to pick five reporters and tour the place with Dr Carson
Slimey rat faced rodent, Wallace is a big loser in life!
So he hates successful people like President Trump!
Liar!
Trump needs to get a chief of staff with some more backbone
He should have swatted this lie easily.
Pick New Gingrich.
Fox News has always been a mouth piece for the Cheap Labor Express.
