Trump doubles down on Cummings criticism as Dems, Baltimore officials defend 'hero' rep

Baltimore officials and national Democratic officeholders fired back at President Trump Saturday after he tweeted criticism of Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who has represented parts of the city in Congress for more than 20 years.

"There is no greater champion for Baltimore and cities like Baltimore than Congressman Elijah Cummings. He has undoubtedly been and continues to be a hero across Baltimore and across our great country," Baltimore City Council President Brandon Scott said on Saturday.

Scott joined the mounting criticism of Trump over a morning tweet in which the president described Cummings' district as "a rat and rodent infested mess" where conditions are worse than those at the southern border. The tweet was an apparent response to Cummings who as chair of the House Oversight Committee had overseen a Congressional hearing earlier this month on conditions for migrants at government facilities.

"It should be beneath the dignity of the President of the United States -- the person who's supposed to be the leader of the free world -- to disparage and personally attack a great American city and another great American leader," said Scott, who was accompanied by Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young..

Bernie Saunders said the following on a tour of Baltimore in Dec of 2015:

“Anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation,” Sanders told reporters later at the Freddie Gray Empowerment Center in Bolton Hill. “You would think that you were in a Third World country.”

George Orwell said it best, “in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Donald Trump is truly revolutionary.

I just noticed Drudge just took his daily crap on Trump in the way that he framed the photo/headline.

That’s weird. I would have expected the “Baltimore officials” to defend President Trump. ROTFL.

"...Baltimore officials and national Democratic officeholders fired back at President Trump Saturday after he tweeted criticism of Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who has represented parts of the city in Congress for more than 20 years..."

Anyone who thinks that a racist jackwad like this guy Cummings is somehow more worthy of defense because he has been in Congress for more than 20 years needs their heads examined.

But more likely their defense is because they are Leftists themselves.

I just love it when Trump acts un-presidential.

“Let me guess....Mayor Bernard Young is Black.”

A highly educated black...

“Young graduated from Northern High School in Baltimore and attended Baltimore City Community College.”

Note - “attended” the junior college, not “graduated”.

Yep. Appointed to replace that black criminal skank who got run out of office last year. Say what you will about him, William Donald Schaefer got it cleaned up and revitalized the downtown area. He was a WW II vet, retired from the Army Reserve as a full colonel after thirty-odd years, and didn’t take guff from anyone. Wiki him and look at his list of ‘controversies’. He was an old school Dem who definitely had a little Archie Bunker in him. They’d run him out of town on a rail for being a racist, homophobic, and a #MeToo predator for some of his positions as late as 15 years ago. LOL

Willie Don was also a pedophile. This was as well known by Baltimore insiders including more than a few members of the electronic and pencil press. Of course it was and is still covered up years after his death. Another nugget of common knowledge is that another Baltimore dem icon, Barbara Mikulski, has been a homosexual for decades. She is still alive but I bet the embargo on that will go on years after she is dead.
