CNN anchor Victor Blackwell chokes up on air after Trump rips ‘infested’ Baltimore
New York Post ^ | 7/27/2019 | John Levine

A CNN anchor got choked up on air Saturday after President Trump ripped Rep. Elijah Cummings and the city, calling it “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

“Donald Trump has tweeted more than 43,000 times. He’s insulted thousands of people, many different types of people. But when he tweets about infestation, it’s about black and brown people,” Victor Blackwell said.

“The president says about Congressman Cummings’ district that no human would want to live there,” Blackwell continued.

“You know who did, Mr. President? I did, from the day I was brought home from the hospital to the day I left for college, and a lot of people I care about still do.”

It’s far from the first time the president’s words have triggered waterworks on CNN. Morning host Alisyn Camerota needed a tissue in January 2018 when discussing the president’s remarks on “s–thole countries.”

“I don’t know why this one makes me so emotional,” Camerota said.

Boo hoo!, he needs to go and catch some rats.
The racism charge crap needs to be ignored.
We have problems, and Trump points them out.
Boo hoo, it’s the plantation, man!

Baltimore is not as rat infested as Los Angeles.

But not because Baltimore is such a rat infested h3ll hole; choked up because a white guy mentioned it and it was racist.

You've got a point... For years democrats controlled speech - no one was allowed to notice black culture has created ugly hellholes in our major cities.

If it was pointed out that person was branded a racist for telling the truth. Trump's telling truth to liberal's delusions of liberalism will give the good people in black communities power to take back their neighborhoods from the thugs.

When I saw him cry, I thought: "Is this guy queer?"

Yup. I bet he and Don Lemon have some good times.

Victor, who is of age 27, came out as a gay during an on-air conversation with his co-host Pamela Brown and the guest Jimmy Alexander on 21 December 2013. He along with his co-host and guest were talking about a GQ magazine that published an interview with Phil Robertson. In the interview, Phil had made an illogical homosexual comment. But Victor said that he was not really surprised and hurt because of the comments as he did not expect a positive response from Phil. He also revealed his sexuality and claimed to be a black gay man.

I live near Seattle. What a S@@@hole it has become.

I saw a program recently where the Seattle liberal kept shouting it's a "Homeless Crisis!"

No, it's DRUG EPIDEMIC of ADDICTS.

Oh PUHLEAZE. Take your drama queen antics elsewhere.

Not only is your Drama Queen comment dead on, but Victor Blackwell is also a Queen.

They call people racists because people ‘let them’.....Racists know if they call you that it will end the debate or argument.....then the conversation always goes to racism....as we see now with Trump pointing out Cummings blighted district....
