President Donald Trump spent Sunday afternoon reigniting his racist attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and the people of Baltimore, which he called trash. Saturday, Trump attacked the city, saying that "no human being" would want to live there, implying that the people who do love Baltimore are somehow sub-human.
The president has spent two days lying about the city and its crime rate, the rate of violence, the homeless population and even rat infestations in the city. In fact, Baltimore doesn't rank at the top of any of those lists, but cities in states that supported Trump do.
People of color aren't the only ones lashing out at the president's racism, Sunday #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism came alive with white allies who refuse to support attacks on their neighbors, friends and fellow humans. MSNBC host Joy Reid noted that it's a significant trend, because the Trump campaign assumes that all white people are as racist as he is. They're not.
Others on Twitter noted that Trump's gaslighting strategy is to take whatever attacks there are on him and employ them onto others. It's the "I know you are but what am I" defense. In this case, Trump called a civil rights leader a "racist."
The internet was quick to attack the president for the non-stop racism coming out of the White House for the last several weeks. You can see the best below:
