Al Sharpton: Trump 'has a particular venom for blacks and people of colour'

The Rev Al Sharpton has addressed Donald Trump's attack on the Maryland representative Elijah Cummings and his district of Baltimore. Speaking to reporters, the longtime African American activist said the president had attacked Cummings and his constituents 'in the most bigoted and racist way'. Earlier on Monday Trump attacked Baltimore, the home city of Cummings, saying that it is 'a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess', adding that it was 'the worst run and most dangerous [district] anywhere in the United States'.
