It’s not just Bernie Sanders who we’ve caught using racist language while talking about Baltimore.
Here’s the Baltimore Sun from only 3 months ago!
This is the perfect example of #TrumpDerangementSyndrome #TDS.
In April, the @baltimoresun was concerned about the trash in the city.
Only 3 months later, they are accepting of a rat infestation.

The Sun even ran an op-ed in 2016 declaring “Trump’s right” and that Baltimore is a “disaster” in need of being rebuilt:

Even worse? Here’s former Mayor Catherine Pugh calling what she sees “sh*t” and that “you can smell the dead animals”:
Democrat Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who resigned this May over a scandal, said about Baltimore in 2018:
“What the hell? We should just take all this shit down. Whoa, you can smell the rats. Whew, Jesus. Oh, my God, you can smell the dead animals.”pic.twitter.com/jdOa91sC7r
