Ever been, ever lived in Baltimore? The trauma center at John Hopkins goes 24/7; The "Wire" is a photo-realistic crime series set in Baltimore; the police are directed to crack houses by the smell of a dead body inside, etc.
You are right. Calling Baltimore a dump is giving dump a bad rap.
Been, yes. Lived, no. I’m not saying it’s a wonderland. But I think we’re way off the reservation here.
It seems very odd that the left immediately calls Trump a "racist" for saying Baltimore is a dump. It is- have any of you been there? How is calling a place that is a dump "racist"? Can one no longer speak the truth in the eyes of modern day leftists? If you don't acknowledge a fact, can a problem ever be solved?
Is calling parts of Appalachia a dump "racist" as well? The Blue Ridge Mountains are beautiful, but many parts of Appalachia are dumps- trust me- we hike there all the time. The North Carolina area can actually be pretty wealthy, but far eastern TN, far western VA and WV can be pretty dumpy. Racist?
MANY of these congressmen go on the attack and are so focuses on partisan political issues, that they neglect their own districts and what can be done for them.
Instead of wanting open borders and freebies for illegals, why don't Cummings and AOC focus on helping their districts, which obviously need a lot of help. Are they neglecting their duties as Congressmen?
He called Baltimore "infested". He only uses this term when it is applies to black or brown individuals like Cummings, the four congresswomen, and his other attacks on black or Mexican things things or individuals. To say he is not racist is to stick your head in the sand. He is vile, period.
Two separate issues that have their own challenges. Trump is in charge of the conditions at the border. Cummings is in charge of conditions in Baltimore.
Trump can't man up and take responsibility so he has to deflect attention elsewhere.
Why is Trump responsible for Illegal Aliens over crowding they border? THEY are the ones coming here voluntarily, and illegally. I guarantee the conditions in the border facilities are better than what they have at home.
As a House Rep, Cummings can influence national policy, but he knows he will get his district's votes anyway, so neglects them.

Infested with criminals and people who destroy their own neighborhoods.
If you think that is brown and black people, you need to check the mirror when throwing out the racist label.
It's not racist. And everyone is tired of politicians using the word to shield themselves from their unworkable ideas and poor performance.
