Baltimore Sun Attacks Trump Supporter Who Organized Massive City Clean Up

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."

That the poor people in this dilapidated city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods and all the public officials around them have failed as well."

It's not can't, it's won't.

The Baltimore Sun, like the Left, will close every opening the destroys their narrative. The people's cleanup effort was an action they did not want. Once it happened, they denigrate it.

I stumbled across that yesterday on the internet and laughed like an idiot. This seemed the perfect thread to drop it on.

Thanks for the laugh!

The issue is that complaining about the problem gains the politician more votes than votes gotten from solving the problem.

[justa-hairyape]

Perhaps the Baltimore Sun’s employees need to start cleaning up the city for real then ?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Cause white guys from the suburbs couldn’t possibly care about black people in the inner-city having better lives.

Yeah. Right.

The only way to save the kids there is have a program to move them out of the city..

Send kids k-6 to smaller towns with good schools..maybe one in each grade..

That way they can grow up with normal people..there are hundrads of small towns

The 7 through 12 need some type of conservation corps..where they work and go to school..run by ex military people

[Kid Shelleen]

Every MLK day millions of liberals go into urban areas to ease their white guilt ...

“We assume it was pure motives that led a Trump supporter to launch a cleanup in Cummings’ district, right?”

Well-The people living in filth won’t care WHAT the motivation is!!

[Harpotoo]

They knew he was coming so why didn’t they clean it up before he and his supporters came in and did it for Dem?

At least in earlier times, newspapers admitted their bias. That's why you have papers called the Democrat, the Republican, even in a couple of cases, the Whig. Or at least, it's part of their names, as they have merged with other papers.

Now, they deny it up and down, and you're just supposed to believe them.

[TBP]

They prefer Bawlmore the way it is, with its 24 PERCENT poverty rate (highest in the country.)

[TBP]

Presler and his crew need to come back and do it again.

[Graybeard58]

But they said that what they really need is leadership, money, and programs from the federal government.

In the old days large cities had more than one newspaper. So of course it was comfortable to have one called ‘the Democrat’ or ‘Republican’ etc. Later things devolved into a morning paper and an afternoon paper with the afternoon paper being more local... then the dominate papers would buy out the smaller papers.

All southern papers were democrat and racist - and started changing in the 60’s when the big flip happened. The papers stayed democrat and the old racists running the papers went from ‘blacks can do no right’ to ‘black can do no wrong’.

When I was young papers had more than one edition in a day. So I would buy the Chicago Sun (two star edition) and a few hours later pick up the (Chicago Sun) four star edition with updated news. At least that’s how I remember it - it was over 50 years ago... could have been the Chicago Defender ... I think the Tribune put out an afternoon paper too... not sure.. There’s a logical reason why paper are liberal even though it’ll destroy them in the long run... while helping them in the short run but it’s boring to talk about...

Pretty well. Saw Presler on a show last night. Says they had applied far ahead of time for the city to get dumpsters set up in place for them. The city refused to cooperate.

The BS used to put out an evening edition too.
