WASHINGTON President Trump lashed out at a leading African-American congressman on Saturday, calling him a brutal bully who represents a Baltimore-based district that has become a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess where no human being would want to live.
Mr. Trumps attack on Representative Elijah E. Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland and leading critic of the president, parroted a segment that aired earlier in the morning on Fox & Friends. The president suggested that the congressman was a hypocrite for criticizing conditions in migrant detention centers at the southwestern border when his own district is blighted. Mr. Trump also made a vague and unsubstantiated insinuation of corruption.
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, Mr. Trump wrote. His district is considered the Worst in the USA. He went on: 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.
Mr. Cummings responded on Twitter shortly afterward, saying that he was a vigorous advocate for his district. Mr. President, I go home to my district daily, he wrote. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors. It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.
The congressman pointed to a hearing that he held on Friday on his effort to legislate lower drug prices, which would help his Baltimore constituents.

Wouldn't catch me livin' there on a bet.
'Course, I'm sure there are some gated 'communities' that keep the riffraff away, but ya still gotta get groceries . . .
I find it infinitely refreshing to hear DJT speak truth to some of those DC maggots.

And it nothing to do with Cumming’s false facts. It has to do with Cummings demeaning a border agent in front of world at a congressional hearing
“The Wire” had it about right.
Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors. “”
And the squalor they live in is the result when YOU fight everyday for them???!!! Some fighter! You do not ever have to win! E Where do I sign for six figures to do that???!!!
I don’t think
Apparently.
Good
Damn good!
Long past time
easy mistake as they look the same and are both race-baiters.
No it wouldn’t
I am absolutely WRONG
Repeat THAT until you understand!
If Cummings is a “leading African-American congressman”, African-Americans are in a great deal of trouble. They can get out of this hole by electing representatives who actually can exceed two digits on an IQ test and also demonstrate a little creativity, honesty, and integrity.
The Cummings congresscritter scores zero on all points.
There are plenty of AAs who are quite capable. They are called Conservative Blacks.
Bulletmore is a major shithole - and corrupt criminal politicians like Cummings are part of the reason why.
It would be more persuasive if Trump refuted specific false state.
He’s too busy refuting that Cummings is a decent man who cares about his constitutnts.
“I don’t think most Americans want the President to sound like this.”
Your TDS is approaching Stage 4.
There is still hope. Deep Breaths. Relax.
ALL of the CBC turn their backs on their ignorant constituents
As long as they all are bought and sold like modern day slaves by Whitey Liberal, that’s all that matters
Slavery . . . brought to you by the Democratic Party since the 1828
(excellent tagline :-)

Bbbbbbut all cultures are equal, you philistine !
