President Trump blistered Representative Elijah Cummings on Twitter, calling out the chairman of the House Oversight committee for raising the hue and cry over conditions on the Mexican border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA. Trump went on to describe Cummingss West Baltimore constituency as 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.
Predictably, the Leftincluding most of cable newsrushed to condemn Trump as a racist. Speaker Nancy Pelosi whose father was once mayor of Baltimore called Cummings a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeted, Donald Trumps tweets are ugly and racist. Beto ORourke called him the most openly racist president weve had in modern history. Senator Bernie Sanders chimed in, too.
The operative rule in politics these days seems to be that any criticism of a non-white politician from anywhere to their right is, by definition, a racist attack. Nothing Trump said pertained in any way to Elijah Cummingss skin color or ethnicity, only to his failure as a legislator and political leader to do anything to improve his district. The real question is: Is he right?

One example of Fake news weasel word gaslight treachery. Trump refererred to Cummings “district” as being rat infested...not his “constituency”!
Hey democRATS, I know your goal is to have the word racist treated as a ‘no big deal, just another ordinary word like strawberry.’ Good going! Y’all are getting there much faster than I thought you could.
What word will you pick on next?
Yeah, ditto what you said!
Thats why I turned off Drudge long ago. Closet Democrat
I solved that problem, I only go to Drudge for the quake sheet.
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh: ‘You can smell the rats’

The flak is always heaviest over the target.
“The question in response to this NYT article about Baltimore should be: how can we help Baltimore and other areas of the USA that need some help? And how do we prioritize where to get started?”
That sure sounds like Greta. Still flailing away, I see.
I don’t miss her.
I do NOT understand the comments here. It is from THE NEW YORK POST, not Drudge. It supports Trump’s attack; it is not remotely “defensive.” FR has become a hot mess of freaking incoherence.
I don’t think the Dems have any other plan...”Racist” has worked so well for so long they think it’ll work perennially. ...They never encountered anyone like President Trump and they are seemingly too stupid to figure out he’s changed the rules and has the Deplorable Army behind him.
Racism!/s
Exactly. Good post.
True, but it is not “breaking news.” It’s an editorial. It clearly says OPINION right at the top.
Yup. Baltimore is a s***hole.
What does that have to do with my comment?
Nothing.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the left finally has something on Drudge, or threatened him. As Nov 2016 approached, the left complained vociferously that Drudge was anti-HRC. Since Trump = POTUS, he seems to row with a left oar. On the issue at hand, his headlines don’t address “Is Baltimore Rat Infested?” like he would seem to do in the past. Instead, he has tried to give credence to the false accusation of racism of the POTUS.
POTUS has called out the demokkkraps on their racism charge. We not only have a political war going on, POTUS is also warring for a return to American culture. The GOPe waved the white flag years ago on the culture war, thinking people would like them better if they did not upset the left on culture. It has brought us to this point on so many fronts; Trump naturally sees it and we are at a crossroad. The left doesn;t want “coexistence” with traditional American values and principles.
Trump knows something that we do not yet know. He doesn’t tweet about someone/something unless he knows the rest of the story. So, stay tuned . . .
Damn, I love this President!!!!!!
At some point, Democrats have to stop looking at race first and start looking at results.
I have no idea what it will take for that to happen, though... you’d think we were already way past that line.
>> Columbia, MD is the safest city in the country.
Columbia is a planned city. Isnt that Communist?
Actually they say "if you vote for the Republican, (s)he'll take away your
welfare and your food stamps and kick you into the street."
It's fear not love that those bastards peddle to their constituents.
