He has repeated similar lines more recently (including on August 3) about blue cities being “filthy, dirty,” with streets that smell, broken storefronts, and “gross” trees. The Facebook post is accurately quoting the remarks. The phrasing is crude and personalizes it to “the people” rather than just conditions or policies, which is why it is drawing strong backlash. There are documented, measurable problems with street disorder, open drug use, homelessness, and human waste in a number of long-term Democratic-run large cities. Those conditions are real and have been widely reported for years. At the same time, calling the residents themselves “not clean” is a broad, inflammatory generalization that goes beyond describing policy outcomes keeping this going lol www.dawnofnight.com
