A “#WeAreBaltimore” hashtag surged to the top of Twitter’s trending items of Saturday in response to President Trump's comments attacking Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) as a “brutal bully” and his majority-black Baltimore district as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
As of Saturday night, the hashtag was used over 17,700 times.
The viral item came off the heels of a series of tweets Trump shared on Saturday, in which he railed against the congressman, who also chairs the House Oversight Committee, and his district, which includes downtown Baltimore.
“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,” he said in the first of a series of tweets attacking the congresswoman and his majority-black district.
“His district is considered the Worst in the USA as proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded,” the president continued in another tweet.
“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.”
In response to the presidents attacks, thousands on Twitter, including prominent political figures and celebrities used the hashtag in solidarity with Baltimore citizens.
#WeAreRatAndRoachInfested
One tweet.
And now everyone is thinking about urban blight and its relationship to Democrats.
Brilliant.
Anyone talking about all the money Cummings sends there that disappears ?
Yeah and the ones who say “WE ARE BALTIMORE” wouldn’t step foot in Baltimore if their lives depended on it
Nah of course not, bringing that up would be racist and stuff
So, who is diving in to fix Baltimore ilo attacking Trump?
Most of the “celebrities” tweeting about this issue have certainly never been to inner BaltiMordor. They’d be singing a different tune if they had to live there...
What if crime and the murder rate sharply decrease in August?
#WeAreA$hitholeCity
The Baltimorons speak.
It’s hilarious; he has them backpedaling and trying to defend, and thus take responsibility for, their worst failures.
lol
60 percent of the population is saying “he’s right”
Oh and #WhoGivesaF...
for various reasons, including age demographics, twitter makes the country look much more left then it actual is...
then the media picks up on the twitter created story and this creates more twitter activity so you have feedback loop bubble
this is pushing the left even more left and out of touch with much of America
everyone knows Trump is correct
Their eggshell skulls are so “offended”
But never mind they way they’ve treated the Trumps, Pence, Christians, Kavanaugh et al
Screw these crybabies.
If you are “ballamore”, clean your sh*t up!
The Baltimore Plan was an urban planning initiative to remove urban blight.
More important: he’s swaying another fraction of the Center his way.
Move about 2.5% to your side (90% being pre-decided), and you win.
