Trump labels Al Sharpton a 'con man' amid attacks on Baltimore: 'Hates Whites & Cops!'
President Donald Trump launched a Twitter offensive against another African American leader Monday, following up his weekend complaints about Rep. Elijah Cummings by alleging that civil rights activist Al Sharpton “Hates Whites & Cops."
Beginning Saturday, Trump has unloaded a steady torrent of vitriolic tweets targeting Cummings and the city of Baltimore, which is partly included in the lawmaker’s majority-black district. Cummings is the chairman of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and is overseeing several investigations into the administration.
“Trump at NAN Convention 2006 telling James Brown and Jesse Jackson why he respects my work. Different tune now,” Sharpton wrote online. “Al Sharpton would always ask me to go to his events. He would say, ‘it’s a personal favor to me,’” Trump continued on Twitter later Monday morning. “Seldom, but sometimes, I would go. It was fine. He came to my office in T.T. during the presidential campaign to apologize for the way he was talking about me. Just a conman at work!”
