Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Sunday he thinks it’s “unbelievable†that President Trump “attacks American cities†when asked about Trump’s tweet calling Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Baltimore district a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.â€
However, Sanders sounded a different tune in 2015 when he likened Cummings’ West Baltimore district to a “Third World country.â€
Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation. You would think that you were in a Third World country,†Sanders said during a tour of the city in the aftermath of riots over the April 2015 death of Freddie Gray, an African-American man who died after falling into a coma while in police custody.
Sanders’ 2015 “Third World†comments are not his only statements criticizing the living conditions in Baltimore.
In 2016, the politician sounded off about Baltimore’s “poorest boroughs,†saying that residents have “lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea.â€

Or do they think we are too bloody stupid to look up the past statements.
