Liberal pearls were clutched from coast to coast again the other day when President Donald Trump tweeted about the Baltimore Congressional district of Elijah Cummings.
To give the full context of the president's tweets, since unless you follow him on Twitter you've likely only heard small portions of them, he wrote, "Rep, Elijah 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. His district is considered the Worst in the USA. As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming 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."
Second, the district Cummings represents is one of the poorest in the country.
The only reason the economic numbers aren't worse is the district includes a large swath of Baltimore County because Democrats gerrymandered the state to water down Republican representation.
So to say the Cummings district is an economic disaster is to understate the problem.
Running cities isn't the domain of the federal government - they have their own governments.
Phrases like "Rat-infested" are racist when you point out how a majority black district is infested with rats and the Democrat-controlled government isn't solving the problem.
