Trump says Bernie Sanders should also be labeled 'a racist' for calling Baltimore a 'Third World[tr]

President Trump said Monday that Democrats blasting him for decrying conditions in Baltimore should also label Sen. Bernie Sanders “a racist” for calling Baltimore a “Third World country” and a "disgrace" in 2015 if they want to be consistent.

“Crazy Bernie Sanders recently equated the City of Baltimore to a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY! Based on that statement, I assume that Bernie must now be labeled a Racist, just as a Republican would if he used that term and standard!” Trump tweeted.

“The fact is, Baltimore can be brought back, maybe even to new heights of success and glory, but not with King Elijah and that crew,” Trump continued. “When the leaders of Baltimore want to see the City rise again, I am in a very beautiful oval shaped office waiting for your call!”

The president was referring to comments Sanders, I-Vt., made in December 2015. Sanders, who at the time was a top Democratic primary candidate, took his own shots at Baltimore.

“Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation,” Sanders said during a visit to the city’s West Baltimore section in 2015, the Baltimore Sun reported. “You would think that you were in a Third World country.”

Sanders also referred to Baltimore as “a community in which half of the people don’t have jobs.”

Oh, they have jobs...selling drugs, burglarizing or robbing their neighbors, collecting public assistance under a couple of identities...

Amen! I would have screwed this up by immediately attributing my “racist” comment to Sanders. Nope, not at his level: President Trump let’s them go all-in then drops the bullets.

I love Mondays. ;)

Where was Barbara Mikulski, Maryland's longest-serving Senator during all this? She retired in 2017.

Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), a white woman of privilege who was Maryland's longest-serving Senator, turned a blind eye to African-American squalor in Baltimore for all these years?

The dems have long depended on pushing their plantation dwellers out to attack republicans as “racists” knowing that the targeted republican will never dare take on the plantation dweller. But, Trump is different, he fights back no matter who it is. They are deathly afraid that others might follow his lead.
