Biden: Trump called Baltimore a 'rat-infected, rodent mess'

Presidential front-runner Joe Biden incorrectly recalled President Trump’s remarks last week, claiming that the president called Baltimore a “rat-infected, rodent mess.”

Biden was delivering a speech on Wednesday from Burlington, Iowa, ahead of a visit to the Iowa State Fair. “He called American, a major American center-city, a disgusting rat-infected rodent mess,” Biden said. “No human being, he [Trump] said, would choose to live … as though the vibrant diverse community around Baltimore was somehow less than human.”
