On &#8220;The Ben Shapiro Show&#8221; Tuesday, Shapiro discussed the recent media firestorm over President Trump unloading on Rep. Elijah Cummings&#8217; &#8220;rat and rodent infested&#8221; Baltimore and the double standard applied to Democrats, particularly Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), when they offer the same criticism. Video and partial transcript below:
So instead of actually tackling what Trump is saying about Baltimore, or explaining that President Trump doesn&#8217;t have any solutions for Baltimore, he&#8217;s just mouthing off, which is actually what happened there. Or that The Squad are too radical, which Nancy Pelosi was trying to say two weeks ago. Instead, the media have decided to rally around the Trump is a racist narrative because they&#8217;re really familiar with it. It&#8217;s like an old standby. There are certain quarterbacks you know they&#8217;re going to call a run on a particular play because they&#8217;re uncomfortable with the throw. Well that is the Democrats at this point and that is the media. They&#8217;re uncomfortable with throwing the ball down the field, you know, risking it all on policy or on a rational conversation. Instead, they&#8217;re just going to go with the run, which may give them a couple of yards and a pile of dust. And the run is racism.
