After President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings and his hometown district of Baltimore Saturday morning, the hashtag #WeAreBaltimore began trending on Twitter, with thousands of users defending the city that the president declared a"disgusting rat and rodent infested mess."
In a series of tweets on Saturday morning, Trump called Cummings"a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border," before then harshly attacking the lawmaker's district. The president's tweets came after the lawmaker, who's chair of the House Oversight Committee and one of Trump's loudest critics, called the treatment of migrant children near the southern U.S.
"His Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA," the president said."Cumming['s] District is 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." Cummings and Democratic leaders quickly moved to condemn Trump's remarks on Saturday afternoon, with House Speaker"Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors," Cummings tweeted in response."It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.
RepCummings Odd how none of you in these replies express concern for the living conditions of the black community in the area.
