al sharpton fielded a call from president trump shortly after his election, of president elect trump saying thank you to sharpton for something that sharpton had said about trump's political astuteness and the way that he was able to figure out how to appeal to certain voters to get elected. and sure enough his phone rings and it's trump saying thank you so much reverend al. so this idea that now all the sudden trump thinks that he hates whites, i think what's really going on there is that al sharpton, of course, has been the right's boogie man for two, three decades now. as far in the past as some of his episodes are, they still get attention in right wing media like they happened yesterday. it's pretty amazing. and one other thing i think is worth noting out, worth pointing out with regard to representative cummings is that there is a really interesting piece in the atlantic by peter nicholas who talks about the relationship that cummings and trump formed early on in trump's presidency. that, to me, doesn't sound like a man, a president who thinks that i lee elijah cummings is at o

to the race thing, trump was friends with al sharpton, now he's not friends. so was he racist then and not racist now? heat targets so many people. the mueller is over. he's pointing out problems on the democrat side. the democrats are on the defensive and the media is on the defensive. >> dana: i'm not saying that there aren't possible negative consequences. i'm just saying, if the democrats have been three years, have not figured out a way to turn the tables on him, and then they spent four days diagramming a sentence, and it doesn't work for them. >> juan: right now, he's calling elijah cummings a thief, suggesting that cummings has been stealing federal dollars. i don't care about that. what i care about is going after people who had a reputation. hang on. 51% of american voters say trump is a racist. you guys don't hear this. >> greg: i love how the polling says that the president is racist after months and months of the media saying the president is racist. >> juan: i wrote a book about this just after he was elected. it was true then. most americans say

and expanding his attacks to include civil rights leader and tv host al sharpton who trump claims hates whites and cops. for the second time in two weeks, trump using language like infestation to describe the places where people of color live. and combined with his racist attack on four democratic congress women of color who he told to go back to the countries from which they came even though they are all american, trump is now making racial division the center piece of his 2020 re-election campaign. warning democrats if they defend the radical left squad and king elijah baltimore fail it will be a long road to 2020. the president's aides insisting this isn't about race. >> no human being would want to live there. >> when donald trump attacks people -- >> this is being perceived as race if-- racist, do you understand why. >> he's pushing back by what he sees as wrong. >> reporter: and the growing concern that the powerful committee chairman is using his oversight powers to investigate people close to him. >> this is not about not liking the president. it is about loving democracy. it's

the repeated use of this word — "infested" — is something rev al sharpton talked about today. i know donald trump. he is not mature enough to take criticism. he cannot help it. somebody says something, he reacts. he is thin skinned and not mature that way. but he has a particular venom for blacks and people of colour. he does not refer to a ny and people of colour. he does not refer to any of his other opponents 01’ refer to any of his other opponents or critics as infested. let's take a look at the reaction. democrat house speaker nancy pelosi criticised the president's "racist attacks". mr trump hit back, again on twitter, there was "nothing "racist" about what he said, and that "dems "always play the race card when they are unable "to win with facts". we've seen a lot of press reaction from this fallout. the baltimore sun criticised the president in an editorial. and author and journalist jill abramson has written a book about how the american media covers donald trump. i'm joined by her now. how do you understand this latest vociferous debate between the democrats and th

no racist would be seen hanging out with al sharpton. this is as man who worked hard to improve our country and he has had success. unemployment among african-americans is at an historic low during this presidency and he's worked for prison reform. when you hear african-american leaders talking about our most critical issue ofs it's the area of houses. so he appointed dr. ben carson. it's disgusting political gamemanship to call him a racist. liz: the president, his supporters say, he's talk about stewardship of our inner cities. we are seeing estimates from $9 billion to $16 billion. it went from federal aid, taxpayer money went into baltimore last year. the president -- baltimore officials are saying the president is wrong there. what's your reaction to all of that? >> well, again, this whole concept of racism doesn't mean anything in america today. the word has been overused to the point that people are desensitized to it. if you look at the facts the mayor of baltimore had to resign as a result of the corruption probe. despite the te

. >> sean: there's al sharpton. he is down in baltimore tonight. i don't know what he's they are doing. he's calling the president names. but every democrat in 2020 hopeful once a blessing and is going to kiss the ring of reverend al. let's look at his history and a little bit. >> you a punk. we built pyramids. >> sean: really? that's really going to help a lot. >> he's doing it. you are walking my father right into 2020. he's going to have an overwhelming victory. the democratic party doesn't even know what they stand for. to find what they stand for? you can't do it, i can't do it. they don't stand for anything. they are totally lost. they have one narrative. that's anyone who disagrees with them. anybody that disagrees with the them, they are not going to win on that platform, especially when you have the greatest economy in the history of the world. the lowest african-american unemployment ever. you have the lowest female unemployment ever. our country is doing better than ever, and this nonsense, because they have no other narrative of their o

when -- i had to deal with him in new york, al sharpton of he's a racist. he's a racist. but when people -- let me explain to you. what i've done for 2 1/2 years no president has been able to do anything like it. unemployment at the lowest in history for african-americans. nobody can beat that. you look at poverty levels. they are doing better than they have ever done before. so many things, opportunities. criminal justice reform. president obama couldn't get it done. it was done. the biggest beneficiary is probably african-americans. i got criminal justice reform done. president obama couldn't get it done. no other president was able to get it done. what i've done for african-americans, no president i would say has done. i'll say this. they are so happy, because i get the calls, they are so happy what i've been able to do in baltimore and other democratic-run corrupt cities. the money has been stolen, what they have done. it's been wasted and stolen. billions and billions of dollars. the african-american community is so thankful. they have called me and said, finally, so

. >> is anyone -- >> this morning donald trump expanded his attacks to include the reverend al sharpton as the civil rights activist was on his way to baltimore. quote, i've known al for 25 years, always got along well. al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. hates whites and cops. earlier tonight, sharpton responded. >> he has always been one that would play any card that he felt was to his advantage. donald trump must think he is a race to disagree with him makes you against a whole race of people. no, we're against his policies. >> "washington post" reports on the elevation of trump's onslaught against congressman cummings. robert costa reports trump was, quote, looking for a reason to attack. they write that reason came early saturday morning after a baltimore-area republican, quote, appeared on "fox and friends" talking about video footage she had seen depicting cummings' district as overrun by trash and blight. they also report trump's broad side against cummings was a topic of discussion during two white house meetings monday morning, one with senior staff, o

thomas once said this, as a black man, i am offended whenever a white person takes al sharpton seriously or pretend to. baltimore leads in homicides. 73% are unhappy with their education system. only 12% believe that the city is doing something to fight crime. bernie sanders toured a a neighborhood in baltimore, in 2015, west baltimore and pronounced it similar to a third world country and said the conditions were unconscionable. his words norths mine, finally, president trump once called new hampshire a state, according to the 2010 census, was 1% white. nobody called trump racist then. as rush said, only when he's criticizing somebody who's black, he's a racist q. he criticizes a white person and there's a long list, not a problem. >> i do know this, governor, in the biden-obomb years, the people that were hurt the most. 13 million more americans on food stamps. people in poverty and people that were hurt the most were minority-americans. the people dispro portionately, positively impacted by deregulation, and tax cuts because of the trump plan, would be minorities as well as in the rec

he's also taking direct aim at al sharpton for trying to make his criticism about race. watch this. >> i pointed out that tremendous corruption has taken place in baltimore. people have called from baltimore thanking me so much, because all that money that's been spent over 20 years has

when it comes to al sharpton, people have their own prism, we live in our own world. we all remember tawanna brawly, remember the comments the african-american woman made proven to be false, four white men raped her. he is calling the president on igniting racial tensions. i think we each live in our little worlds here but i think you're obligated to report on those worlds and not side with one over the other. just step back, calm down, look at the charges that have gone back and forth. i mean, i'm not talking from the right or left. i'm talking as a fair and balance human being on this stuff. a lot of people are playing a lot of games. fox news contributor liz peek is with us. she will be on "bulls & bears" at 5:00 p.m. eastern time. we love having her around, she calmly makes sense of all this stuff. i find it interesting, liz, the racism charges comes up again and i do think the president has to set a higher bar, go back to your country, those are lightning words, but i'm just finding the approach to all of this, it is all one-sided. and i don't think that is very

sharpton. polling showing it hasn't had a big effect on his base. >>> plus, we are counting down to night one of the second democratic debate thtonight. we'll see senators elizabeth warren and bernie sanders among the others sharing the stage for the firstri time. >>> a seattle woman is behind bars after a huge capital one data hbreach, according to the bank approximately 100 million individuals in the united states could pbe affected. >>> good tuesday morning, everybody, i'm yasmin vassoughiaan alongside ayman mohyeldin. the associated press writing the is. the president has w inflamed racial tensions betting such divisions will help ease his path to victory in 2020 and he replaced gut instincts for the silver analysis for professio l professionals on matters of war and atpeace. and unconstrained trump 15 mons from the election, few have stepped up to challenge a president emboldened by the conclusion of the russia probe and divided democratic congress. themo temptations for trump are only set

i think a confrontation with al sharpton he welcomes. i pay attention closely to some data that's being drawn from swing voters, people who went from obama to donald trump or romney to hillary clinton, people who really hang in the balance. there's a mentality of those folks of send them back, meaning those who are there illegally, not a citizen who's a member of congress. a lot of this bleeds together. and my point is this, we can't make the mistake that many of us, yours truly made in 2016 which was to think every time he said something beyond the pale, you thought, he's done. john mccain, he's done, mexico sending us rapists, he's done. time and again he disproved all of that conventional wisdom. >> why is it different this time? >> this is why i hope it's different. when you consider the fact that people haven't had enough, that doesn't make me afraid of donald trump. it makes me afraid of people who i share spaces with in restaurants, people who i share work spaces with. the fact that there's a quinnipiac poll that says that 45% of

he's just escalating the feud with democratic critics of color, even dragging the reverend al sharpton and senator bernie sanders into it, still escalating those attacks on congressman cummings. mick mulvaney, white house chief of staff, hit the shows to defend president trump and credited the whole ter aid pointing to comments congressman cummings made while grilling acting head of dhs kevin mcaleenan. that's why he said he went on this tirade moved beyond any mention of the border, attacking baltimore and people who live there. nonetheless very few republican congressmen have stood up for congressman chairman cummings in the wake of the president's tirade. take a look at chairman cummings sticking up for his fellow congressman meadows earlier this year in february. >> mr. meadows, you know of all the people on this committee, i've said it and gotten in trouble for it, that you're one of my best friends. i know that shocks a lot of people. >> and likewise, chairman. >> you are. i can see and feel your pain. i feel it. so i don't think miss tlaib intended to cause you that. >> cummings

sharpton. what do you think of it all? a lot of the president's critics are saying no, he's a racist. do you think donald trump is a racist? >> no, donald trump is not a racist. breaking news: you attack the president, he's probably going to take you back and you probably shouldn't be attacking law enforcement and border security in the meantime because he is going to attack you over that needs on the right set of that issue. representative coming shouldn't have been attacking border patrol. they are doing their job. this is exactly with the democrats did back in that '60s when they started attacking veterans that were coming back from vietnam in the early '70s. they were doing their job. whether it was a popular war or not. we have to secure the border. border patrol was hired to secure the border. let them do their jobs. democrats all paid up on the border or secure the border, they won't fix the asylum laws but they want to go attack border patrol doing their job. that's wrong. >> neil: sayi

. >> well, he is not al sharpton, but i am. and when his mother came, i don't care if it's someone that was critical and though he didn't say he was criticizing, that's what he does. even if he had been, we have a responsibility to be consistent and stand up for people human and civil rights as we did for meek mill and as we have been doing all my life. whether it was james brown or michael jackson. if there is a wrong, wrong is wrong. two wrongs don't make a right. we would be wrong not to say that there is something that smells about how this is being done and sweden needs to be held accountable and the united states government ought to intervene for an american citizen. >> even if he didn't want to stand up during the black lives matter movement. >> if he did not want to stand up for others, that does not mean others have a responsibility to stand up for him and maybe he will see why people do what they do when they stand up. >> all right, reverend al. stick around if you don't mind. >>> up next, the good, the bad and the ug

he allows people like elijah cummings and al sharpton to get -- a group of people very underserved and very upset, in a very tough situation, and they make the president of their enemy. they also live in a place where they need to figure out some solutions. i would be frustrated if the person who was representing me is talking about impeachment. it's a very fair point, but i also think it's very difficult to rationalize the president's comments away as though they are nothing. obviously if you have identity politics on both sides, working actively, most people are going to lose when you have everyone who is being forced into a pen based on race. >> julie: let me ask you -- >> darrell: i like that she said that baltimore is underserved. that's what the president said. for 25 years, it was underserved by somebody who exploited their property rather than really making efforts to change that. >> julie: baltimore in fact had wanted, in the past, for the city to be declared a disaster because they could get federal funds. sms pointed out, it was like third world country. there were many buil

i got along with them, al sharpton. he's racist. he's a racist. what i've done for african-americans in two jacksonville, floriand a half years, no president has been able to do anything like it. >> president trump, the least racist person you know, according to his own account. escalating his attacks against prominent african-americans including, of course, his inflammatory racial rhetoric against elijah cummings, but also al sharpton, our colleague and anchor of a program on msnbc. this as "the washington post" details a white house on edge with some aides describing the president's attacks as a distraction or politically unhelpful. joining me now to sort all through this is ashley parker, msnbc senior political analyst and kimberly adkins. ashley, we'll go through the origins of the attack on elijah cummings. tell us how that started. the president is watching the homeland security, over sight hearing with the homeland security director. >> there were a couple of issues that had the president sort of very frustrated with chairman cummings. one

. >>> also, democratic congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota and jay inslee join reverend al sharpton live on "politicsnation." we're oscar mayer deli fresh and you may know us from... your very first sandwich, your mammoth masterpiece. and...whatever this was. because we make our meat with the good of the deli and no artificial preservatives. make every sandwich count with oscar mayer deli fresh. my bladder leak underwear.orried someone might see so, i switched. to always discreet boutique. its shape-hugging threads smooth out the back. so it fits better than depend. and no one notices. always discreet. take prilosec otc and take control of heartburn. so you don't have to stash antacids here... here... or, here. kick your antacid habit with prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. >>> that does it for me this hour. i'm richard lui. you can follow me on twitter, instagram, and facebook. for now i turn it over to reverend al sharpton and "politicsnation." >>> good evening and welcome to "politicsnation." tonight's lead, the state of louisiana remains on high alert as tro

. >>> reverend al sharpton, esident trump called him a con man and troublemaker and saying he hates cops. so the back and forth continuesn as pressure m for president trump to take the 40-mile trip up the roadct and aually visit ssltimore, the city h aend rode infested people want to talk to him there according to people we talked on the reet and leader and former leader in the area. unknown if the president will come y time soon but they are having annual meeting in baltimore in september and the president usually attend. >>> the city of baltimore has come out strongly against the president's attacks. the county and the maryland state leader are pushing back. many say his comments are racist. governor larry hogan says they are, quote, outrageous, but former maryland mayor michael steele wants more an apology from president trump. >> the streets and neighborhoods are ready for you.wa folk to talk to you so just show up. put the tweet down, brother, and show up. >> bndrnie sa is also pushing aick agt the president. the presint said sanders should be labeled aci ra for equating baltimore t

the real question is not why was al sharpton involved this morning? where was governor hogan, the republican government of maryland who has not opened his mouth and defended the people of his state and said anything about elijah cummings. not who's coming to baltimore, it's who's there and seems to have a case of political laryngitis. >> i want to do something with you that we often sit around this table because you had this relationship with trump and you had known him a long time and you had a complicated relationship but not overly hostile in the past. you have not been in big fights with trump. on certain issues you fought but it's not like you have been antagonists, always in opposite corners in the whole history of your life. so i wonder what was it, do you think -- there are a lot of questions to ask about why are republicans and what democrats should do, we'll get to those. what but is it that you think made him this morning decide to seize on you? does he think suddenly you're vulnerable, that your divisive, that you're a figure to suede vote

al sharpton told him in that interview, he said you've hurt people with these comments. do you understand that? joe biden expressed an interview that he did understand that, but he still wouldn't apologize. so i guess what i'm asking is from the standpoint of feeling an apology was owed, what changed in the last three weeks? >> well, as you say, he did an interview on air with al sharpton that he certainly did not intend to cause harm. and people have said, look, joe, i know you didn't mean to hurt anybody, but some people are really feeling offended by what you said. he certainly didn't want to let that stand and didn't want to let that be the case. so i think he's somebody who can listen, who can hear. he said, you know, i hear you and i would never want anybody to feel like things that i had said were hurtful. so as he heard from people who he trusts and respects he said, you know what, i can make an apology and so he did. but i think the other thing that's incredibly important about what he said this weekend srtion again, not going to take attacks on his record layin
