Black people in Baltimore, including a black journalist, have come to the defense of President Donald Trump after he spoke on the conditions of the city.
On Saturday President Trump correctly blamed Cummings for the state of his district which is in disarray and crime ridden.
“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,” he said.

“Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States.
“No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!” he said.

The people of Baltimore, including journalist Kimberly Klacik, are not interested in the race card Democrats are playing as they back the president.
“It is so sad to see @VictorBlackwell & @CNN turn the light currently shining on #WestBaltimore into a race issue,” she said.
“This could result in a positive change. @RepCummings could help get his district in order. Listen to one of his constituents explain the ‘rats & rodents’ problem.”

She also interviewed a black resident of Rep. Cummings district named Michelle who had a ton to say about the issue.
“What (President Trump) said was definitely true. (Cummings) hasn’t done anything for us” she said. “He’s worried more about (caring for illegal aliens at the border) than his own people”
“Trump is not racist … I’m glad he put (Cummings) on blast. The rats just didn’t come. These houses just didn’t get torn down, they’ve been like this,” she said.
