'We feel like we in a concentration camp — and it's just sad'

President Donald Trump was widely condemned and declared a racist on Saturday for criticizing Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) over Baltimore's long-documented problems with crime, poverty, and political corruption.

But what do Baltimore residents have to say? They agree with the president.

"What he said was definitely true. [Cummings] hasn't done anything for us," one Baltimore resident named Michelle told Baltimore County Republican Central Committee member Kimberly Klacik of Trump's tweets.

"As far as the houses and everything, like I said, [Cummings] has never done anything for not even one person that I know of. I never heard anybody say anything about him," Michelle explained. "And people want to talk about Donald Trump ... why is [Cummings] over there taking care of people at the border? We hungry. We need a place to stay."

Cummings, like Maxine Waters, only shows up around election time to get re-elected..then they go back to their mega mansions and laugh their asses off..they dont care about the communities in which they represent, they refuse to even live there

[Cummings] hasn't done anything for us,"

But we continue to vote for him, every two years like clockwork, because Republicans are EEEEEEEEEVIL RAAAAAAACISTS, and there are no other choices on the ballot.

Michelle, if you could follow the money that this traitor gets to care about illegals, you would understand.

Only see the edge of the video. The rest of the page is covered by lots of ads.

In a democracy you get the representatives you deserve. The voters have nobody to blame but themselves. And if someone always votes for the loser and their area turns into a chithole, they can leave. It’s why I left Seattle 8 years ago. It changed my life for the better. A LOT better.

They may agree with Trump that Cummings is an ass but they keep voting his useless ass in office.

Sounds like it is time to recruit Black Republicans in a lot of these areas.

Where did he get the votes to keep being “elected” to the Congress?
Illegal immigrants?

Trump is a master at baiting the democrats to say outrageous things. He has them actually standing up and shouting that the inner cities are just fine, no problems at all and you're a racist if you even mention they need help.

Meanwhile, nobody believes that, least of all the people who live in the inner cities. But now they see that the dems simply do not care. They don't even think it's a problem.

Because nobody worth their salt has the guts to run against him.

These “Scum & Vermin” Democrat “Black” racists have gone too far and will soon find out that millions of both African-Americans & Hispanic-Americans will be casting their votes for POTUS, Donald J. Trump to be re-elected with a massive “Landslide Victory”. Cummings, Hastings, Green, Clyburn, Waters, Obama, etc. have done nothing...zero....for American Blacks for many, many years. the tide has already changed, so...they can rant, rave shout and pout but the victory train has long left their station and, none of them are on it!!!

The Republicans in Maryland do not run candidates in Baltimore City.

Nor in Pittsburgh. The Mayor in a city of 400,000 is essentially chosen by 15,000 union activists in the Democrat Primary.

And yet, if they’re black and Elijah the crook is the only black running, they’ll vote for him. It’s like a knee jerk reaction.
