BUT I DO THINK IT'S REMARKABLE THAT OUR PRESIDENT CLAIMED TO
STAND BY THE HEROES OF ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT CITIES.
BECAUSE HE SPENT THE WEEKEND TRASHING ANOTHER ONE.
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IN OUR ONGOING SEGMENT:
"IS DONALD TRUMP A RACIST?" EPISODE THREE -- MILLION.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME.
>> Stephen: PREVIOUSLY ON "IS DONALD TRUMP A RACIST?"
YES.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT SOME PEOPLE AREN'T
CONVINCED.
NOT EVEN AFTER HIS TWITTER ATTACK THIS WEEKEND ON CHAIRMAN
OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND MAN WATCHING HIS WHITE
COWORKERS EXPLAIN "GET OUT" TO HIM, ELIJAH CUMMINGS.
( LAUGHTER ) CUMMINGS RECENTLY CRITICIZED THE
CONDITIONS AT THE MEXICO BORDER, SO TRUMP TOOK OFFENSE, TWEETING,
"REP, ELIJAH CUMMINGS HAS BEEN A BRUTAL BULLY, SHOUTING AND
SCREAMING AT THE GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF BORDER PATROL ABOUT
CONDITIONS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, WHEN ACTUALLY HIS
BALTIMORE DISTRICT IS FAR WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS.
HIS DISTRICT IS CONSIDERED THE WORST IN THE USA DOT, DOT, DOT,
DOT, DOT, DOT, DOT, DOT, DOT, DOT AS PROVEN LAST WEEK
DURING A CONGRESSIONAL TOUR, THE BORDER IS CLEAN, EFFICIENT AND
WELL RUN, JUST VERY CROWDED.
CUMMINGS' DISTRICT IS A DISGUSTING, RAT AND RODENT
INFESTED MESS.
IF HE SPENT MORE TIME IN BALTIMORE, MAYBE HE COULD HELP
CLEAN UP THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND FILTHY PLACE."
( AUDIENCE REACTS ) ( BOOING )
TRUMP IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
FUN FACT: YOU KNOW WHERE BALTIMORE IS LOCATED?
THE UNITED STATES.
(SINGING AS TRUMP) ♪ GOD BLESS AMERICA ♪
♪ EXCEPT BALTIMORE ♪ ♪ THEY'VE GOT RATS THERE ♪
♪ NO MAGA HATS THERE ♪ ♪ AI VOID IT BECAUSE THEY ARE
POOR ♪ ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( HUMMING ) NOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE CALLED
TRUMP'S WORDS RACIST, SO HE FIRED BACK ON TWITTER:
"THERE IS NOTHING RACIST IN STATING PLAINLY WHAT MOST PEOPLE
ALREADY KNOW, THAT ELIJAH CUMMINGS HAS DONE A TERRIBLE JOB
FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIS DISTRICT, AND OF BALTIMORE ITSELF.
DEMS ALWAYS PLAY THE RACE CARD WHEN THEY ARE UNABLE TO WIN WITH
FACTS.
SHAME!" OH, SO THE ONLY REASON TO CALL
SOMEBODY RACIST IS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH
FACTS.
INTERESTING.
HE CONTINUED, "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."
(AS TRUMP) "I'M NOT THE RACIST, HE'S THE
RACIST.
AFTER ALL, I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING RACIST AT ALL IF
HE WAS WHITE!" ( LAUGHTER )
REVEREND AL SHARPTON ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO AN EVENT
IN BALTIMORE TODAY TO PROTEST TRUMP'S RACIST TWEET, SO TRUMP
FIRED OUT ANOTHER ONE: "I HAVE KNOWN AL FOR 25 YEARS.
WENT TO FIGHTS WITH HIM AND DON KING, ALWAYS GOT ALONG WELL.
HE 'LOVED TRUMP!' HE WOULD ASK ME FOR FAVORS
OFTEN."
OH, THAT'S NICE.
THEY'RE FRIENDS.
"AL IS A CON MAN, A TROUBLEMAKER, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
A SCORE.
JUST DOING HIS THING.
MUST HAVE INTIMIDATED COMCAST/NBC.
HATES WHITES AND COPS!" HERE'S HOW OUT OF TOUCH THE
PRESIDENT IS, HE THINKS "HATES WHITES AND COPS" IS MORE
DAMNING THAN, "HUNG OUT WITH DONALD TRUMP AND DON KING."
TRUMP SENT OUT THE USUAL SUSPECTS TO DEFEND HIM ON THE
SUNDAY SHOWS.
FIRST UP, TRUMP ACTING CHIEF OF STAFF AND HARRY POTTER
EXPLAINING THAT VOLDEMORT'S GOT SOME GOOD IDEAS.
( LAUGHTER ) MICK MULVANEY.
MULVANEY WENT ON FOX NEWS SUNDAY, WHERE CHRIS WALLACE
BROUGHT UP THE PATTERN OF TRUMP'S RACISM:
>> YOU SAY IT HAS ZERO TO DO WITH RACE-- THERE IS A CLEAR
PATTERN HERE, MICK.
THE PRESIDENT TWEETED ABOUT JOHN LEWIS, A BLACK CONGRESSMAN THAT
HE SHOULD-- THIS IS BEFORE HIS INAUGURATION-- HE SHOULD SPEND
TIME IN HIS CRIME-INFESTED DISTRICT.
THEN, TWO WEEKS AGO, HE GOES AFTER THESE FOUR MEMBERS OF "THE
SQUAD," ALL WOMEN OF COLOR, AND SAYS THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO
THE CRIME-INFESTED COUNTRIES FROM WHICH THEY COME.
THEN HE TALKS ABOUT ELIJAH CUMMINGS AND HE SAYS HIS
DISTRICT IS RAT AND RODENT-INFESTED.
INFESTED.
IT SOUNDS LIKE VERMIN.
IT SOUNDS SUBHUMAN.
AND THESE ARE ALL SIX MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO ARE PEOPLE OF
COLOR.
>> I THINK YOU'RE SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH TIME READING
BETWEEN THE LINE.
DOES ANYBODY-- (CROSSTALK)
>> WALLACE, I'M NOT READING BETWEEN THE LINES.
I'M READING THE LINES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: NICELY DONE!
NICELY DONE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >>> BRAVO!
BRAVO!
>> Stephen: CHRIS WALLACE JUST STEPPED UP TO MICK MULVANEY AND
SAID, HEY, MICK, READ BETWEEN THESE LINES ."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) MULVANEY CONTINUED:
>> DOES ANYONE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM DISPUTE THE FACT OR THE
POSSIBILITY THAT IF ADAM SCHIFF HAS SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT
THE BORDER, THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD BE ATTACKING ADAM SCHIFF
THE EXACT SAME WAY TODAY?
>> I DON'T THINK HE'D BE TALKING ABOUT HIS CRIME-INFESTED,
RODENT-INFESTED DISTRICT.
>> HE VERY WELL COULD.
IT HAS ZERO TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT ADAM IS JEWISH.
SCWHREE, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
>> STEPHEN: WOW!
PRO TIP: IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM
ACCUSATIONS OF BEING A WHITE SUPREMACIST, MAYBE DON'T USE THE
EXCUSE, "DONALD TRUMP'S NOT RACIST-- HE'D SAY THE
SAME THING ABOUT JEWS!" ( LAUGHTER )
ANOTHER TRUMP DEFENDER WAS FLORIDA SENATOR RICK SCOTT.
HE WAS ON CHUCK THE MEET AND HIS BRAIN DONE BROKE.
>> BUT THAT JUSTIFIES A RACIAL RESENTMENT TWEET IN RESPONSE?
IS THAT PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP?
>> WELL, LOOK, I, I, LOOK, I DIDN'T DO THE TWEETS, CHUCK.
>> STEPHEN: (AS SCOTT) UH, OH, AH, EHH, OH... I'M JUST
-- ( STAMMERING )
( PIANO RIFF ) I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP MAKING
SOUNDS TILL YOU CUT TO COMMERCIAL.
UH OH, AH, EHH, OH!
( LAUGHTER ) BEFORE THAT INTERVIEW STARTED,
RICK SCOTT HAD A FULL HEAD OF HAIR.
( LAUGHTER ) AND IT WASN'T JUST BALTIMORE.
TRUMP ALSO TWEETED, "SPEAKING OF FAILING BADLY, HAS ANYONE SEEN
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NANCY PELOSI'S DISTRICT IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
IT IS NOT EVEN RECOGNIZABLE LATELY.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."
(AS TRUMP) SAN FRANCISCO USED TO BE A
BEAUTIFUL CITY WHERE JOE DIMAGGIO WOULD DRIVE A CABLE CAR
RIGHT UP TO YOUR HOUSE WITH HOT RICE-A-RONI.
( LAUGHTER ) TODAY, TONY BENNETT LEFT HIS
HEART THERE AND IT WAS STOLEN BY A HOMELESS GUY.
( LAUGHTER ) TRUMP HAS ALSO GONE AFTER NEW
YORK, LOS ANGELES, AND CHICAGO, AND CALLED THE PEOPLE OF IOWA
STUPID.
AT THIS RATE, HE'S GOING TO TAKE THE FLAG AND REPLACE HALF
THE STARS WITH POOP EMOJIS.
( LAUGHTER ) WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT.
