"KEEP OAKLAND OUT OF YOUR DAMN MOUTH" people react to Trump trashing Dem majority cities

[Demovictory9]

President Donald Trump has made disparaging remarks about Oakland many times, and he did it again in the Tuesday night debate with former Vice President Joe Biden.

Fox News' Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate, asked the president about his frequent assertion that cities with Democratic leadership are more violent than Republican-run ones. When Wallace said Republican-controlled cities show similar trends of violent crime, Trump launched into a stream-of-consciousness response that, at one point, included an assertion that Oakland was "more violent" under President Barack Obama and asked where law and order was under the Obama-Biden watch.


"Look at Oakland, look what happened in Baltimore, look what happened, frankly it was more violent than what I am even seeing now," the president said.



"Oh, my god," Biden said.

"The reason is the Democrats in the cities," Trump went on.

The Twitterverse was quick to respond to Trump's stab at Oakland and many defended the East Bay city. Here's a selection of some tweets, including one from Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf.

1. Philadelphia was not pleased

"Bad things happen in Philadelphia" is already a t-shirt.

On Twitter, Trump's Philly slight was met with our typical hostility as well as humor - Trump must have been watching our Sports teams recently.

Philly is loaded with proud boys who love Trump, but there wasn't much love for him after that statement.

Naturally, Trump's claoms regarding early voting in Philly were incorrect. As for "bad things happen in Philly" - that's Trump code for, "a lot of black people vote in Philly." The man is racist trash.
