Again, Trump is the only one who did so insultingly. That is something none of you all have managed to address. |
Bernie compared it to a third world country. |
Not insultingly. |
Right. So, when Bernie made that remark, no one in Baltimore took it as an insult? How about the "third world countries" that he was comparing it to? Was that an insult to them? |
I've never heard of anyone being insulted by Bernie's remarks, which he did not mean insultingly, and I don't think you have, either. |
Got it. So people are only insulted by a remark when it is attributed to someone they don't like....not by the remark itself? |
DP, tone and context are important. The racists thought it was racist, so take that for what it is worth. |

Trump makes his one black friend Ben Carson go to Baltimore to hold a press conference defending him, but a local church kicked him off their property.

Cummings is extremely effective as head of the oversight committee. Obviously to me Trump is on the defensive. Supeonas have been issued to Trump's kids. It doesn't look good for Trumpland.

Bernie actually went and visited Baltimore to check out conditions, met with people who lived there, saw for himself. What has trump done? He's watched tv and then tweeted about it. Meanwhile HIS OWN SON-IN-LAW owns decrepit properties in Baltimore that are sore in need of fixing up and yep, you guessed it, getting rid of rodents. He wants to make a difference in Baltimore? Start with his own family. Make Kushner spruce up his properties. |
Nice deflection. Has nothing to do what they BOTH SAID. If Trump made a similar "third world country" remark, all of you would be screaming about the denigration of such country. |
Well that's because Trump would have said it in a Trump way: "it's disgusting, a third world shithole that only rats want to live in." You know it. We all know it. His aim was to tear down Cummings, not build up Baltimore. I'm sorry that you have a hard time understanding social clues and message delivery. It must be hard for you in the world. |
Oh, ok....he "would have said it..." I have no problem with social clues and message delivery...I also have no problem with double standards. |
Are you sure about that? Because it sounds like you're having problems. And just because you say you don't, doesn't mean you don't. |
And just because you say I do, doesn't mean that I do. |
