Saturday morning, in response to Rep. Elijah Cummings attacking U.S. border conditions, President Trump unleashed a brutal tweet storm.
….As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!

Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA……

Places Trump has dubbed rat infested, shitholes, terrible places etc:
– Districts with black or brown congress members (Reps Elijah Cummings, John Lewis, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, AOC…)
– Countries run by black and brown people.
A pattern is a pattern.

Conservatives came to his defense.

Did you know:
A 2017 report found that 13 high schools in Baltimore had ZERO students proficient in Math
90% of Black boys in Baltimore schools cannot read at grade level
Maybe Rep. Cummings should spend more time fixing his own district instead of attacking

Republican Kimberly Klacik then shared a video vowing to “expose the truth” about West Baltimore conditions.
Klacik tweeted “Let’s continue to expose the truth. This is a neighborhood filled w/families that have small children. West Baltimore is filled with trash thanks to dumping. A problem city officials should have addressed years ago. This is @RepCummings district. @realDonaldTrump”
