Bernie Sanders in 2015: Baltimore looks like a 'Third World country'

Sen. Bernie Sanders described Baltimore as a "Third World country" in 2015 and compared the city's poorest neighborhoods to North Korea.

Sanders' characterizations of the Baltimore area are similar to statements President Trump made on Saturday while criticizing Rep. Elijah Cummings, whose district includes Baltimore. Democrats and media figures have again leveled accusations of racism at Trump for his harsh words against Cummings.

Sanders visited Baltimore in the aftermath of Freddie Gray’s death. The 25-year-old black man died after falling into a coma while in police custody. Gray’s death sparked accusations of institutional racism among law enforcement and caused protests against Baltimore police, especially the cops involved in Gray’s arrest.

The cops involved were suspended and charged with crimes related to Gray’s death. All walked free after charges were dropped or the defendants were acquitted.

Sanders visited the city and highlighted areas of high poverty and crime rates.

Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.

"Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation," Sanders said, according to the Baltimore Sun. "You would think that you were in a Third World country."

"Today what we're talking about is a community in which half of the people don't have jobs," he said at a 2015 press conference. "We're talking about a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable."

Trump repeated similar charges on Saturday and lashed out at Cummings for failing "his very poor, very dangerous and very badly run district." Trump shared several videos on Twitter showing depressed and garbage-strewn areas in Cummings’ district.

Trump followed up his Saturday attacks on Sunday morning, defending himself against accusations of racism.

"Someone please explain to Nancy Pelosi, who was recently called racist by those in her own party, that there is nothing wrong with bringing out the very obvious fact that Congressman Elijah Cummings has done a very poor job for his district and the City of Baltimore," Trump said.

Critics, including Sanders, called Trump’s attacks racist and defended Cummings. Cummings is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and is one of the president’s chief opponents on Capitol Hill.

Here's what's really going on: @RepCummings has been busy revealing the failures of the Trump administration and exposing the greed of Trump’s friends in the pharmaceutical industry, and our racist president doesn't like it.

Who was president in 2015?

It's only racist if you're Republican.... or Libertarian.

I posted Sanders comments in the other Baltimore thread. I’ve been to Baltimore many times since the 70’s. They have cleaned up the Inner Harbor area, but you can’t travel too far to get yourself in trouble. It’s been a dangerous town for decades.

to have your citizens live in the squalor of rats isn't racist, its only racist if you point it out (and be a republican)

pbs filmed a documentary about rats in Baltimore, 'Rat Film"

the baltimore sun had previous headlines about the infestations and mess in baltimore

a 2016 study of rats in baltimore:

Baltimore, Maryland residents who live in areas with a high rat population are much more likely to report sadness, anxiety and other symptoms of depression, according to a new study.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health analyzed interviews regarding depressive symptoms conducted with 448 residents – 87.3 percent of whom were African American – from 2010 and 2011. The interviewees were mostly low-income, and just over half were male.
....
“Nobody likes living around rats. This study provides very strong evidence that rats are an underappreciated stressor that affects how people feel about their lives in low-income neighborhoods,” said Danielle German, an assistant professor in the Department of Health, Behavior and Society at the Bloomberg School and leader of the study.
“The good news is it’s modifiable. If we can do something to reduce the number of rats in these neighborhoods, we can improve people’s well-being,” German added.
The interviews showed that residents of low-income areas would consistently report rats and trash as big problems near their residences, German said, even as they faced many other issues in their neighborhoods, such as drugs, violence, vacant housing and more. She said the study might indicate that rats should be considered a link to depression more than just a nuisance or disease source.
Conventional thinking about rats "misses what it feels like to be a resident of a neighborhood where you see rats every day," she said. "There is no reason why rats should be inherent to areas of poverty.”

Baltimore's ex-mayor:

Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh — who resigned in May amid a corruption scandal — just last year decried the “rats” and “dead animals” that plague Baltimore’s worst neighborhoods.

While canvassing an East Baltimore neighborhood with city leaders, video footage captured by WBFF-TV showed Pugh looking upon endless vacant and run-down housing, the Baltimore Sun reported.

“What the hell? We should just take all this s**t down,” Pugh said.

“Woah, you can smell the rats,” she said. “Whew, Jesus.”

Later, while walking through one of the area’s most violent neighborhoods, Pugh said: “Oh my God, you can smell the dead animals.”

As I recall, your Lord God Bufu Birther Trump actually sued a TV personality for much less.

And yes, your post is out of line. By any metric.

Check your PMs.
