Upping a feud with an influential black lawmaker, President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed Rep. Elijah Cummings as a “racist” over the “rodent-infested mess” in his district while White House aides sought to downplay his comments as frustration over Democrats’ unrelenting investigations.

“His radical ‘oversight’ is a joke!” Trump added. […]

A White House aide said Sunday that Trump, frustrated by the Democrats’ unrelenting investigations and talk of impeachment, swung hard at Cummings and his Baltimore district because he believes such Capitol Hill critics are neglecting serious problems back home in their zeal to undermine his presidency. …

It is racist to point out that a black man is racist!

About time this tried and true Dem tactic is called out for what is is.

...Trump argued, “if racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district...good move - let the loonies twist themselves into pretzels explaining why it's okay for them to call Trump a racist, but not for him to label them the same.....

Good for President Trump.

Most of the country is sick of the far-left continual Orwellian word usage.

The idea that black people can not be racist is Orwellian.

an influential black lawmaker,

Elijah Cummings? What's he influenced? He's nothing but a corrupt old coot sitting in the chair until a corrupt young coot takes his place. For 30 years he's been nothing, NOTHING, but a mouthpiece and a lackey for a long line of white Leftists who have ground our cities into dust.

How many reporters from the AP have started scouring the streets of Baltimore to prove Trump wrong?

Yup. Imagine how many people in the media refer to Trump as “orange man.” or “Orange man bad.” That seems racist.

Stop calling Roman Polanski an artist. He was a pedophile sodomite, vastly increasing the chance that his victim would develop the particular cancer that killed Farah Fawcett.

“Trump assails....” “Trump attacks....”

My, my, with all the people “Trump Attacked” or “Assailed”, you’d think that Emergency Rooms all over the country would be filled...
