Trump doubles down on attacks against Cummings and Baltimore-area district
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/455034-trump-doubles-down-on-attacks-against-cummings-and-baltimore-area?__twitter_impression=true
President Trump doubled down late Saturday on his attacks against Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and his Baltimore-area congressional district, saying that it's "sad" that the longtime congressman has done "so little" for the city he represents.
"So sad that Elijah Cummings has been able to do so little for the people of Baltimore," Trump said, before claiming that "statistically, Baltimore ranks last in almost every major category. Cummings has done nothing but milk Baltimore dry, but the public is getting wise to the bad job that he is doing!"
Trump did not expand on what statistics he was referring to.
The late-night tweet came just hours after Trump called Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform committee, a "brutal bully" and cast his district as "disgusting" and "rodent infested."
“Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous,” Trump said on Twitter earlier Saturday.

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. Just take...

....a look, the facts speak far louder than words! The Democrats always play the Race Card, when in fact they have done so little for our Nation’s great African American people. Now, lowest unemployment in U.S. history, and only getting better. Elijah Cummings has failed badly!
