according to usa today. every single one, you see them there, all run by democrats, and have been for decades. st. louis hasn t seen a republican mayor in 70 years. it s been 60 years in detroit. joining me now to discuss, candace owens. to me, this president has more courage than most people in calling out this ongoing decline. some of these great cities i love baltimore. i spent so much time there over the years. it s a really, really tough place and the residents speak volumes. sharpton comes here and says i m here to defend and i m here to stand with the people of baltimore. what of it? al sharpton is first and foremost a fraud. he s a liar and a race hustler. in order for al sharpton to stay in business, he has to keep selling this narrative that racism exists, that s what the naacp is.
i say it s time for all of us to put our attention on the city of baltimore and other urban communities like it that have experienced neglect for over three decades. i think that america has the resources to accomplish this and america should be ashamed of itself. laura: i think we spent, what, 6-$7 trillion in the war on poverty over the last 4-5 decades, so we spent a lot of money. but the results are not there. what we ve had over the last, you know, two days now, 48 hours straight, is a drumbeat of racism, this is caused by racism, trump s a racist this is what the repeated drumbeat. but this has been going on in baltimore, in l.a., san francisco, st. louis, in detroit, for decades. absolutely. laura: this is a multi-decade long problem, pastor. and it s only that trump is a racist you can t get your trash
