Joe Biden Jumps to Defend Elijah Cummings After Trump Criticism
Breitbart ^ | 27 July 2019 | Harris Alic

Posted on 07/27/2019 6:43:50 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Former Vice President Joe Biden jumped to defend Rep. Elijah Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee after President Donald Trump criticized the congressman as a “brutal bully” on Saturday.

“Rep Cummings is one of the finest people I’ve ever served with,” Biden wrote on social media. “It is despicable for you to attack him and the people of Baltimore this way. Once again you have proved yourself unfit to hold the office. A President is supposed to lift this nation up. Not tear it down”:

The former vice president’s tweet came shortly after Trump, himself, had taken to social media to lambast Cummings for his treatment of Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan on Friday. Cummings had grilled the secretary for the way his department was looking after migrant children detained for crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

“You feel like you’re doing a great job, right? Is that what you’re saying?” Cummings asked McAleenan during a committee hearing. When the secretary responded that his department was doing its “level best,” Cummings exploded.

Michael Obama is now defending Baltimore, and the Twitter SJW mob has made "#IStandWithBaltimore" the #1 hashtag.

It's STILL a shithole!

Twitter SJW mob has made “#IStandWithBaltimore” the #1 hashtag.

***************

The only thing we can know for sure is that Twitter made the hash tag #1. Twitter does a whole lot of manipulating to both support The Narrative and suppress opposition against The Narrative.

So what’s trending and what’s not really is meaningless.

Has Biden ever said Cummings

(Obama) is the “first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean...”

Got to go back to people HAVE to live in the District they represent.

Do they still make Police & Fire live in the City that hires them?

Trump should associate Biden with attempting to build up Cummings and tear down Trump instead of helping to quell the chaos on the Southern border.

Thanks for that link. It does show Baltimore is making some slight progress in moving from 9th to 8th. (ha ha ha) It also shows Obama’s Chicago at the top of the list.

“Baltimore dropped one slot from last year, when it was ranked eighth; two years ago it was No. 6 on the Orkin list. The city has undertaken several rat control measures, including the issuance of municipal garbage cans to contain waste.

For the fourth year in a row, Chicago was No. 1 on the list.”

How I wish Trump would do a press conference about this and only allow questions regarding this. Demothugs will eventually burn under the light

Democrats think it’s OK to trash the USA but get their panties in a wad when constructive criticism is directed at them for letting their districts become shiessholes.

It’s not always that they are electing it, it is that they let someone register them, then they never bother to vote. The precinct committeeman or poll workers then vote the ballot allocated to the no-shows.

Trump is playing Biden like a fiddle.

Biden would love to distance himself from the Nuts in the Party, but Trump won’t let him.

That’s what the Left does.

When one of their Tribe is insulted, they all have to make it known that there are tribes of people who will rush to their defense.

Never any individual who can stand up for himself.

Biden has low no standards - like the rest of his party.

No standards other than double standards that is.
