I responded in another thread.
What I'm pointing to, is Trump used Baltimore in an attack against Cummings.
Sanders was pointing out that we can do better for the people of Baltimore.
Very different motivations. Motivation is context.

Trump made similar comments in January 2017 when attacking another black congressman, Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. Trump had called the civil rights icon's district "in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested)" after Lewis said he would be skipping Trump's inauguration.
Trump will attack anyone that disagrees with him,... but if they are of colour, the attacks go to origins,... "your country is a sh!thole, your city is rat infested", etc...
This knee jerk reaction is tinged with racism. Trump consistently attacks minorities differently than whites. Mostly associating them with dirt, filth, poverty, crime, and disgust.
There has been worldwide condemnation of Trump's racist attacks.
Only Trump's most Trump-blind supporters are willing to deny this.
Jared BTW, owns rental properties in Baltimore that have been sited for rodent infestation. Has Trump mentioned that?... Has he asked Jared to remedy it?
