Hang on.....Cummings ran on the federal level to influence policy to help his district.
His role as an elected official is not to state in his district and try to fix it. His role is most definitely, unquestionably to be in Washington fighting for what he thinks is best for his constituents.
From the looks of things perhaps he should spend a bit more time in Baltimore. He doesn't appear to have done much for his constituents in DC. Can someone tell us what his accomplishments have been?

Nice try.
You are all better at spinning than Trump is
What is Trump doing for those communities?
He's as responsible for helping all of our communities as their elected officials are.
Or are you saying he's only responsible for the nice parts of the USA?
Honestly Trump has been in politics 2 1/2 years. These politicians who have been in office for decades have lived high on the hog. In the meantime their constituents suffer. I would think the lowest black unemployment numbers prove he is doing something right for the communities of color. Also he supports criminal justice reform. Yes Trump says things that offend many politicians. But honestly they deserve it.
Trump spoke the truth, its too bad that house members aren't visiting cities in decline advocating for a massive clean up or helping our citizens who live in these inner cites.
It has nothing to do with race, that's only being brought up to ignore the truth of what Trump tweeted.
If it’s true, why doesn’t Trump fix it? He’s the President of Baltimore too.
What about Trump’s own hometown? They’re rat infested too. They have plenty of decay. Why doesn’t he fix that?

Black employment has nothing to do with Trump. Blacks get all the credit for that.
Looks like Elijah has been Baltimore's representative for more than 20 years.
So. And?
What is he supposed to do about a shrinking tax base and Baltimore losing most of its major industries?
