Last week, Townhall covered MAGA supporter Scott Presler's call to action in Baltimore by inviting "Americans to help Americans" and go clean up neighborhoods in Charm City. Presler at first kept secret when the event would occur for fear of retaliation from the far-left like Antifa. But, on Saturday, Presler and 100 other citizens from all over the country traveled to West Baltimore for the massive trash clean up. By all measures, it was hugely successful. However, on Monday, the Baltimore Sun's editorial board ran an op-ed, trashing Presler and his group saying they only did the event to embarrass Baltimore and its residents.
The op-ed was snarkily titled, "We assume it was pure motives that led a Trump supporter to launch a cleanup in Cummings’ district, right?"
"The effort was organized by pro-Trump activist Scott Presler. He claimed the event was not political. Yes, he was inspired to come by tweets from President Donald Trump describing the area, represented by U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, as a 'rodent infested mess,'" the editors wrote. "But the visit wasn’t about showing support or animosity for either man, he said."

Baltimore's ruling class does a pretty good job of building that image all by themselves.
Thanks for the post, Obviously this breaks the cycles both news and actual as they really don’t care what is really going on. Someones pockets are being lined with lots of bucks by keeping it as is and the media will do their best to keep the money flowing as they are part of the Cabal
I wish I could show my Dad that.
He would have laughed himself silly.
As is typical with most leftist papers, the Baltimore Sun does not have a comment section for articles. They have spoken! You serfs listen and don’t speak!
Hey Mr Snarky, if you are embarrassed that a bunch of Trump supporters made you and your ilk look bad, then maybe YOU should have done something about the problem.... But of course YOU DIDN’T... So if you had actually done something, the Trumpsters would not have had the opportunity to make you and yours look bad, regardless of their motivation.
So, since you didn’t STEP UP, you can continue to SIT DOWN and do nothing but wag your flappy worthless lips.
“the Baltimore Sun’s editorial board ran an op-ed, trashing Presler and his group saying they only did the event to embarrass Baltimore and its residents.”
I doubt it’s possible to embarrass them.

The look on the face of the kid in the water on the right is priceless.
How many 'journalists' at the Baltimore Sun worked in the Obama Administration?
How many 'journalists' at the Baltimore Sun worked as democrat activists?If you wouldn't donate to the democrat party YOU should NOT subscribe to a newspaper.
It's not like the old days when journalists saw their jobs as presenting carefully crafted useful information for their customers. Today's papers are propaganda arms of the democrat party.
There is no reason to try to make yourself seem nice to people who hate you.
Waste of time and energy and you will never convince the evil leftists that you are even human.
These are haters.
Protect yourselves.
Again the left projects. They are so rotten to the core they can’t believe anyone would do something good for others simply because it’s the right thing to do because they would NEVER do something like that themselves.
They don’t think like that. For them it’s all about them and what they can take from others. Never ever trust a dem. They all lie.
All of this begs the question, instead of writing a whiny, lazy, and excuse filled editorial attacking good samaritans for doing the work that Baltimore's elected leaders will not do, why wouldn't the Baltimore Sun use their energy to hold those representatives accountable?
It is because the Baltimore Sun chooses to be scribe for Baltimore's elected leaders rather than the residents.
It is but that looks like a swamp so it's pretty much full of lots of nasty's already. A little boy poop isn't go to add much to the equation.
I’m guessing the staff of the Baltimore Sun weren’t there to help out....
The left wants Baltimore just the way it is! They want it full of dirt and rats, and the people out of work and dependent.
They hate Trump for improving job opportunities for Blacks. Why the hell do they keep voting for dems?
So what if it was in fact a political event?
So what if it was intended to, and did, embarrass Baltimore?
Baltimore needs to be shamed, humiliated, and embarrassed. And then it needs to get off it’s lazy, racist ass.
i swear if Trump personally came up with a cure for cancer- the left would be screaming ‘racism’ ‘hitler’ ‘white supremacist’ for doing so
Yeah, but there’s a 7-11 across the street with public bathrooms.
The kid is growling out a message to the other kids.
