Donald
Trump took on Twitter to attack the Democrats and Baltimore’s Elijah Cumming on
Sunday involving another US city as well: San
Francisco.
The tweet reads: “Someone please explain to Nancy
Pelosi, who was recently called racist by those in her own party, that
there is nothing wrong with bringing out the very obvious fact that Congressman
Elijah Cummings has done a very poor job for his district and the City of
Baltimore,”
He went on saying that the Democrats use the ‘Race Card’ when in
fact the fail to do thinkgs for the African American people and he criticized
Nancy Pelosi of doing a poor job in the San Francisco district. He urged that
something must be done before it’s too late.
Trump was underfire for calling Cumming’s majority-black
district in Baltimore as ‘rodent infested mess’ as Cumming is head of the House
Oversight and Reform Commitee and criticized the inhumane conditions at migrant
detention centers at the southern border.
Trump argued that the border is ‘clean, efficient and well run’
while Cumming’s district is ‘a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess’ and
this caused an intense backlash from the Baltimore residents and the Democrats
with Pelosi describing the president as ‘racist’.
The Baltimore Sun criticized Trump calling him “the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s
private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses,” and Russia’s Vladimir
Putin puppet.
Trump has been recently underfire for
the racist attacks two weeks ago on the four Democratic congresswomen, known as
‘the squad’, where he said they should ‘go back’ to their countries.
The White House spokesman in a
statement has officially rejected that racism had a role in the Trump’s
singling out of minority lawmakers.
But Trump took on Twitter several
hours later accusing Cumming to be racist and that him and Pelosi should be
grateful of low unemployment rates among minorities.
