Rev. Al Sharpton has been on a speaking tour in Baltimore in an effort to defend Rep. Elijah Cumming’s record after President Trump criticized the Democratic lawmaker’s failed leadership of his poverty-ridden district.
However, Sharpton was not warmly received in Baltimore. In fact, locals are outraged by Sharpton’s visit.
Footage of one of Sharpton’s appearances show Baltimore residents confronting the MSNBC host as he condemned Trump’s attacks on Cummings.
“Elijah Cummings is a respected and well regarded member of Congress,” Sharpton said, before he was interrupted.
“You go back to New York! You bring that s*** to New York! You ain’t do nothing for Baltimore! You a phony!” a man interjected.
Another man interrupted Sharpton’s speech yelling, “Our schools are failing us! Where are you when our schools are failing us?”
“You’re just a hustler,” the man added.
In July, President Donald Trump blasted Cumming’s failed leadership in the Baltimore-area congressional district and claimed the Democratic lawmaker is a “racist.”
“Congressman Elijah Cummings has done a very poor job for his district and the City of Baltimore,” the president tweeted, warning the congressman has “failed badly.”
“If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership,” Trump continued. “His radical “oversight” is a joke!”
After Trump referred to Cummings’ district as “a disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess” in which “no human being would want, ” Democrats resoundingly labeled him “racist.”
However, Baltimore homicides exceeded 300 each year from 2015 through 2018, and 2019 is on track to cross the 300 threshold for the fifth year in a row, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Furthermore, interviews with residents of Baltimore show they agree with Trump and are grateful the president is calling attention to the city’s corrupt leadership and impoverished conditions.
“THE FLIM FLAM MAN”……..THEY ELECTED AN CON AND AN IDIOT IN A $5000.00 SUIT…..corruption, corruption, corruption….The old saying, “Don’t believe everything you think”.

People who are in charge of our children and the people who RUN THIS COUNTRY !!!…..THERE ARE PLENTY OF NUT CASES THAT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN THOSE POSITIONS !!!!!..DOESN’T MATTER HOW SMART YOU ARE OR HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE !!!…EVEN psychiatrist NEED A psychiatrist ONCE IN A WHILE……WHAT MAKES ANYONE OF AUTHORITY AN EXCEPTION WHEN YOU SEE THESE IDIOTS ALMOST EVERY DAY IN THE NEWS….BUT NO ONE ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST….DOESN’T TAKE A SCIENTIST TO FIGURE IT OUT…….SAD!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be interesting to know what kind of eduction Al Sharpton has acquired during his long acquaintance with N.A.A.C.P. He talks as if he recently left the plantation with that gift of his. Race-baiting bull scheit artist. He`s a good one.
Like I have said before,..Yes, education and training is required and studies in any field of professionalism but the weight of mental stability is the biggest problem with lot of high stressed positions and responsibilities which includes ALL government employees from teachers to the highest level in our government. Just today another police officer in New York committed suicide.that makes 8 now……..sad . Seems that no one cares about the real problems and points fingers at everything else…..now that’s insanity.
I’m going to keep saying this,…I still say that a REQUIREMENT ! for ANY government position there has to be a mental and psychological evaluation every YEAR !!!!!
Even teachers !!!…There are to many people that are dealing with STRESS ISSUES every day. People who are in charge of our children and the people who RUN THIS COUNTRY !!!…..THERE ARE PLENTY OF NUT CASES THAT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN THOSE POSITIONS !!!!!..DOESN’T MATTER HOW SMART YOU ARE OR HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE !!!…EVEN psychiatrist NEED A psychiatrist ONCE IN A WHILE……WHAT MAKES ANYONE OF AUTHORITY AN EXCEPTION WHEN YOU SEE THESE IDIOTS ALMOST EVERY DAY IN THE NEWS….BUT NO ONE ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST….DOESN’T TAKE A SCIENTIST TO FIGURE IT OUT…….SAD!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to see these nominees take and qualify as a candidate by passing the US citizenship test…This way we know they have been exposed to Constitutional Law and a understanding of their US Heritage…..
HERE IS THE BEST COMMENT I CAN THINK OF,…”IF NOTHING CHANGES, THEN NOTHING CHANGES”…..THINK ABOUT IT.
Sharpton has never been anything but a huckster, phony and crooked. Finally some are seeing through this bum.
Your right. They need to stop voting democrat if they want change.
The Globalist Liberal NAZI Demoncrat Commie party don’t give a crap about gun violence! They just want to take away your guns to leave you defenseless against Government tyranny! Wake up patriots before it’s too late! Defend the 2nd amendment!
We are hearing you and know the solution….Time you vote for qualified candidates that represent you and are willing to be public servants not public parasites….I am of the firm belief elected and appointed gov officials who continue on in a political career should work as civil servants, and the government should be free of government unions and other entrapment’s that will lead to the undermining of your representation by outright corruption….Term limits no retirement and a ballot driven consumption taxation..progressive law is suicide…Government exist by a consensus of the governed, of by and for the people…..
Al Sharpton clown fool bafoon all around loser part of ruin of black people everywhere .But for sharpton a chance to profit from his own peoples misery .
