While Donald Trump was busy tweeting away his displeasure for how the riots in Baltimore were handled (and saying he’d be able to “fix it”), former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh had a much different take on the situation.
Walsh, who now hosts a radio show on AM 560, fired off a tweetstorm on Tuesday, taking aim at Barack Obama and Democrats, while referring to “uneducated government slaves.”
Obama urges National Guard to show "restraint." Why didn't he ask that of the rioters, looters, criminals & thugs?

Obama: "Just a handful of bad people in Baltimore." Yea right & the problem with Islam is just a handful of folks who like to lop off heads.

Obama: "We all have some soul-searching to do." No, WE ALL don't. The thugs who burned down Baltimore & the race baiters who egged em on do.

And then he fired off this one:
Want to blame someone for Baltimore besides the thugs? Blame Democrats who have purposely turned blacks into uneducated government slaves.

And more:
50 yrs of Democrat policies destroyed the black family, created dependency & ruined public schools. Democrats did that. Not the Tea Party.

Truth is hard, Huh? Grow up

I'm building a movement that puts Liberty and responsibility front and center. It's not Republican or Democrat. It's freedom.

Too many pols, radio hacks, and pundits want to be liked. Egos ahead of agenda. Forget that. Time to fight back with brutal honesty.

Walsh is no stranger to controversial comments.
In January, he called for beheadings of ‘cowards’ in the media who self-censored Charlie Hebdo cartoons.
