Moore on Trump’s Silence on the Bridge Collapse: Anybody Who Wants to Use This Moment to Divide Us, I Would Advise, Do Not Come Here, Because We Are Unified
RUSH EXCERPT:
MOORE: "I take the fact that Baltimore, even though we just took a blow, that Baltimore stands more united and stronger than ever. Before the bridge came down, it is not and should not be lost on anybody that Baltimore is, in terms of homicides and violent crime rates, that we went eight straight years with 300 plus homicides in the city of Baltimore. Now in the last year, our first year, Baltimore now has the lowest homicide rate we have had in nearly a decade. Baltimore has the eighth fastest growing economy in this entire country, Maryland’s economy has finally started moving again, so it is very difficult to take steps, at a city or a state that all the data shows is actually on the move. When I was first inaugurated, we were 43rd in the country for unemployment, now for the fifth straight month in a row, Maryland has amongst the highest unemployment rates in the country. What we have seen even since the bridge has fallen, we have watched a community not just rebound, but watched a community take care of each other. Democrats, Republicans, people who were in the state who understand that you cannot have a thriving state if the largest city is not thriving. So, we have united in such a powerful way. So, for anybody who wants to come and use this as a moment to divide us or use this as a moment to separate us, I would give them very clear advice. Do not come here, because in the state of Maryland, we are unified and we are moving forward together, and we understand the importance of Baltimore in our larger regrowth."
