Amid widespread backlash following his derogatory comments toward Rep. Elijah Cummings, President Donald Trump is now audaciously coming for another civil rights giant:  Rev. Al Sharpton. 

On Monday morning, hours before Sharpton was set to appear at a news conference in Baltimore, Trump ferociously tweeted about the National Action Network founder. 

Almost immediately afterward, Sharpton fired back with a response on his Twitter page: 

According to The Washington Post, Sharpton is set to meet this morning with Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee and former lieutenant governor of Maryland, to address the president’s racist comments toward congress members of color over the past three weeks.

Over the past few days, many have rallied behind Baltimore and Rep. Cummings after the commander-in-chief launched attacks against the congressman, calling the city "disgusted" and "infested."
