Imagine if Barack Obama had launched a savage public attack on Boise, decrying it as a disgusting slum in a message sent to 60 million people and broadcast around the world
Ask yourself how the Fox News headlines would read

1/ I'll take it a step further and say that if Barack Obama had launched a savage public attack on Boise you wouldn't find a single Democrat in Washington defending him doing that, and scores of them would be on television criticizing him. No one anywhere would have stood for it.
2/ Hillary Clinton once said the radical fringe of Trump's base had deplorable views, and years later tens of millions of redhats she wasn't referring to still use the term "deplorable" to identify themselves. If Obama attacked Boise, #WeAreBoise would be a GOP meme until *2050*.
3/ And of course Clinton thereafter apologized, of her own volition, for overstating significantly the size of the Trump-voter racist fringe that Trump's own campaign today acknowledged. Republicans won't ask for, and Trump will never give, any apology to the people of Baltimore.
