When Sen. Bernie Sanders made comments about black families living in the ghetto Sunday night during the Democratic presidential debate, the mother of Trayvon Martin was upset over his implication that only black communities live in poverty.

Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, an avowed Hillary Clinton supporter, released a statement on Tuesday condemning the Vermont senator, with an added jab for his statements on not holding gun manufacturers liable for shootings:

Sen. Sanders is wrong to suggest that the concept of the ghetto is inextricably connected to Black America, just as he was wrong to yet again defend his NRA-backed position on guns.

Fulton's statement continued: "We need a president who understands black families don't all live in ghettos -- and who has a plan to end the racial violence that too often plagues families like mine."

Joining in the condemnation of Sanders was another Clinton supporter and mother whose son, Jordan Davis, was also killed in a high-profile shooting. Lucia Davis echoed Fulton's hit on Sanders gun position:

[C]ombating gun violence is a top priority for my family and countless families across this nation. That's why it's so disappointing to see the NRA defending Sen. Sanders on guns. We need a president who will fight for that -- not someone who toes the NRA line.

During the CNN debate Sunday, Sanders said white people have no idea what living in poverty is like:

When you're white, you don't know what it's like to be living in a ghetto. You don't know what it's like to be poor. You don't know what it's like to be hassled when you walk down the street, or you get dragged out of a car.

Sanders clarified his comments to CNN days later saying he "meant to say" that "ghetto" is traditionally used to describe African-Americans living in an impoverished community. He then cited himself as the only candidate speaking up for Americans who are living in poverty.

We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
