MAGA fan Scott Presler was tired of all the constant bickering in the media about Baltimore's numerous problems, so he personally decided to do something about it. Rather than simply complain or join the online chorus, he has organized a massive trash clean up of the city set to take place in the near future. Presler just wants to help out in any way that he can.
"I’m so tired of people saying, ‘We should do this, we should do that'....I was just like, ‘I’ve had, it. I’m going to go to Baltimore, even if it’s just me on a street corner picking up trash,'" he told The Epoch Times.
On Saturday, July 28, the activist told his online following that anybody who wanted to come to help clean up Baltimore was welcome. He encouraged Trump supporters to wear Trump gear but told The Epoch Times that anybody can participate when the event takes place.
"I just want the citizens of Baltimore to see [that] we do care. We do give a darn. And at the end of the day, we’re all American and if ya’ll are struggling in Baltimore and you guys need help, then we’re going to be there for you," he said.
"I don’t want this to be an anti-Rep. Cummings event. That’s not what this is about. This is about helping our fellow American citizens," he added.
"I’ve received so many volunteer requests, I haven’t even had time to message everyone back," Presler told Breitbart. "We have people coming from Virginia Beach, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as well as local Baltimore residents."
Presler has not announced when the clean up will occur since he does not want any counteractivity to disturb the effort.
I want to confirm that, yes, I am organizing a trash clean up in Baltimore.
I've had so many volunteers reach out to me, it's been overwhelming.
Also, a very kind gentleman is willing to sponsor dumpsters for us.
This is really coming together.— #ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) July 29, 2019
"When I sent out the tweet on picking up trash in Baltimore, I expected it would be me and a few friends doing our part to clean up the city. I've been on the phone for the last 24 hours with people wanting to donate gloves and trash bags, and volunteers even want to come to Baltimore from out of state," Presler told Townhall.
"I never expected this outpouring of love, but I think people are hungry to do something positive," he continued. "That's what this event is all about. Americans helping Americans."
I hope they all wear MAGA hats.
God Bless them.
This is what leadership looks like.
May have to point this fact out to the younger generation because leadership is something they have never seen or experienced in their lifetime and so they will not recognize it or realize it unless it is pointed out to them
This should have Elijah Cummings frothing! Is he going to call this cleanup effort racist?
Don’t touch the rats!!!!!
Hope the unionized trash companies don’t take exception to volunteers taking their work away. I know that’s NJ thought process but is Baltimore that corrupt too?
File this under “Teach a man to fish...”??
Would love to see a few ‘net cams placed to see just how long it takes to see the 1st run\drive-by toss-out as the cycle begins anew.
He should run for office
I hope they get a great day from the weather Gods.
It really bothers me when I hear people say (fill in the blank) God. There is one true God and claiming there are many even if it is just a saying is insulting to God.
Elijah Cummings will say that THIS is racist. Would be nice if the folks would upset their local leaders in an election.
This is how we used to do it in America. Push the bickering, worthless politicians aside, roll up our sleeves and do what needs to be done.
This is what needs to make a come-back right here. The REAL American Spirit. I don't know about the rest of you, I'm pretty inspired by this and I don't give a crap the guy's a President Trump supporter. I'd be saying the exact same thing if he weren't.
This is leadership indeed. Leading by example. We need more of this in this country. Honest to Almighty God we do.
I hope the president tweets about this and encourages patriots to join in and help their fellow Americans. The optics of MAGA hats cleaning up a dem’s mess would be worth a fair bit. More importantly, it’s a wonderful thing to do for fellow Americans who are in need.
IF there are enough cameras there he and the shakedown brothers will be there also.
I follow this young man on twitter. He works his tail off going all over the country holding seminars about registering new Republican voters. He also stands on street corners with a sign that says something about Democrats caring more about illegals than the black community. He is a brave young man!
He will probably get shot. Not kidding.
If it’s Trump supporters taking the initiative, it’s sure to be twisted around as a ‘white nationalist’ hate rally.
I hope they don’t get killed doing this. I am not optimistic unless they choose their neighborhood very carefully.
