Sharpton Attacks Trump Calling Him “bigoted and racist”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
In typical Al Sharpton style, he’s managed to insert himself into the fray between President Trump and Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD) over the deplorable plight of the representative’s Baltimore district.
Cummings was called out about the condition of Baltimore streets by President Trump and the president’s views were supported by video footage provided by Baltimore resident Kimberly Klacik.
It is so sad to see @VictorBlackwell & @CNN turn the light currently shining on #WestBaltimore into a race issue. This could result in a positive change. @RepCummings could help get his district in order. Listen to one of his constituents explain the "rats & rodents" problem. pic.twitter.com/LTG8AnT27x

More trash. More concerned residents. People live in the home with the silver van. This is @RepCummings district. This has nothing to do with race. Let us all pray the city removes the trash & install cameras to catch the individuals dumping on the property. #WestBaltimore pic.twitter.com/CCaRH5c0aO

President Trump criticized Cummings and called his district, “the Worst in the USA.”
Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA……

President Trump also went after Sharpton, calling him a “conman” and “troublemaker.”
I have known Al for 25 years. Went to fights with him & Don King, always got along well. He “loved Trump!” He would ask me for favors often. Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated Comcast/NBC. Hates Whites & Cops! https://t.co/ZwPZa0FWfN

In response, Sharpton held a press conference in Baltimore yesterday, not about the dilapidated buildings and garbage on the streets, but used the opportunity to attack President Trump by calling him “bigoted and racist” (watch video).

Sharpton has the backing of 2020 Democrat presidential candidates, including, California Senator Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Criticizing Cummings over the deplorable condition of Baltimore streets has nothing to do about race but everything to do with liberals shielding him from being held accountable.
