President Trump may not have been too far off in his remarks about Rep. Elijah Cummings district that includes the city of Baltimore.
Over the weekend, Democrats condemned President Trump after he attacked Cummings over his treatment of border control agents and suggested that the congressman focus on improving poor conditions of Baltimore, which is one of the cities within his district.
Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats labeled Trump’s remarks as “racist,” twisting his words to make it seem like he was racially slandering Cummings and the people who lived Baltimore.
Their racist label came as a result of Trump describing parts of the city as being a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” and a “very dangerous & filthy place.”
