Republicans Reportedly Holding Their Major Policy Retreat in 'Rodent Infested Mess' Baltimore, Maryl

Source: Mediaite

As President Donald Trump continues feuding with Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and trashing Baltimore as a “rodent infested mess,” House Republicans seem to be planning their annual policy retreat in the city.

The Washington Post reports, citing two senior GOP officials involved in planning, that House Republicans have settled on downtown Baltimore for the retreat. While the details haven’t been publicly confirmed, the Post also noted several factors suggesting that the event will be located at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.

Since presidents typically give speeches at these policy retreats for their respective parties, it’s possible Trump will be speaking at the event just four blocks away from Cummings’s congressional district.

There's would be so many protesters that the Retrumplicans couldn't get within 10 miles of downtown Baltimore... and Lindsey Graham would get the vapors.

Let them hold their little Russian Policy Meeting at some godforsaken Dumbfuckistan 'Murika shithole.

but their real problem is with African-Americans and other minorities, or at least to throw some red meat to their racist deplorables and distract from policy issues.
