Despite the weeping and gnashing of teeth from Democrats, celebs and the media – Baltimore really is a rat-infested, crime-ridden shithole.
The unhinged left detonated on social media following President Trump’s calling out of crooked Democrat Elijah Cummings over his “rat and rodent-infested” Baltimore district.
On Saturday morning, the POTUS once again triggered the hate mob with a series of tweets calling for an investigation into the chairman of the House Oversight Committee who has repeatedly melted down from his lofty perch during his bullying of those brought before him.
Trump blasted Cummings over the disgusting situation in his home congressional district, large chunks of which are crime-ridden areas of squalor normally seen in third world countries.
According to Trump:
….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

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!

Within minutes, Trump’s pointing out of the truth turned into the big lie that he was a racist and he is forbidden to criticize anyone who is black because hey, we live in the age of the dictatorship of the woke and everything is racist now.
.@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot https://t.co/2LG8AuQrHh

Via The Hill, “Pelosi slams Trump’s ‘racist attacks’ on Cummings”:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denounced President Trump’s early morning criticism of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Saturday, labeling the president’s remarks “racist” and hailing the longtime congressman as a “champion” and “beloved leader.”
“.@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague,” Pelosi tweeted. “We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership.”
Pelosi’s condemnation came in response to a series of tweets in which Trump accused Cummings of being a “brutal bully” and claimed his Baltimore district was “FAR WORSE” and “more dangerous” than the southern border.
Trump said Cummings’s district, which encompasses downtown Baltimore, was the “worst-run” in the U.S. and asserted that the Maryland city was “corrupt” and that “no human being would want to live there.”
But was Trump’s description of Cumming’s Baltimore turf as a “rat and rodent-infested mess” accurate?
To answer that question, there are probably few more definitive authorities than Orkin, the nation’s preeminent pest control experts and according to a recent list, Baltimore indeed has a serious rat problem.
Trump calls Baltimore rat infested. Facts show that Baltimore is ranked in the top cities for largest rat population. Trump calls out the leadership, and is called a racist. Anyone else sensing a pattern here?https://t.co/n8hlPH3qse

Via Baltimore Patch, “Baltimore On Most Rat-Infested Cities List Again: Orkin”:
Charm City is once again among America’s “Rattiest Cities,” according to a new report from pest control company Orkin, although it has shown progress in each of the past two years. Baltimore comes in at No. 9 on the company’s 2018 rankings released Monday.
This is the fourth year that Orkin has compiled the rankings, which are based on the number of rodent treatments the company performed from Sept. 15, 2017 to Sept. 15, 2018. It includes both residential and commercial treatments.
Baltimore dropped one slot from last year, when it was ranked eighth; two years ago it was No. 6 on the Orkin list. The city has undertaken several rat control measures, including the issuance of municipal garbage cans to contain waste.
Here’s the list of the top ten according to Orkin:
- Chicago
- Los Angeles
- New York
- Washington, DC
- San Francisco
- Detroit
- Philadelphia
- Cleveland
- Baltimore
- Denver
What do these cities have in common? All are run by rats as in Democ-RATS.
Not one to be deterred by 24/7 smears of being a racist, Trump continued his assault on the “brutal bully” Cummings.
So sad that Elijah Cummings has been able to do so little for the people of Baltimore. Statistically, Baltimore ranks last in almost every major category. Cummings has done nothing but milk Baltimore dry, but the public is getting wise to the bad job that he is doing!

Someone please explain to Nancy Pelosi, who was recently called racist by those in her own party, that there is nothing wrong with bringing out the very obvious fact that Congressman Elijah Cummings has done a very poor job for his district and the City of Baltimore. Just take…

“Elijah Cummings has had his chance to address it (crime & conditions in Baltimore) for decades, and he hasn’t gotten it done.” @PeteHegseth @foxandfriends How can he get it done when he just wants to use his Oversight Committee to hurt innocent people and divide our Country!

Despite the leftist Silicon Valley tech oligarchs stacking the deck and tilting the table, the Democrats still don’t have total air superiority on Twitter and the microblogging platform remains as one of the best forums to debunk the mainstream media lies.
Here are some brutal pieces of evidence that Rep. Cummings’ district is indeed a “rat and rodent infested” hellhole:
Rep. Elijah Cummings has been in elected office for 36 years.
This is his district.
It's about time someone cared about the Americans living there! https://t.co/h3acG0YYM5

Baltimore resident Michelle on CNN’s Victor Blackwell suggesting Trump was racist for his tweet:
“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”

More trash. More concerned residents. People live in the home with the silver van. This is @RepCummings district. This has nothing to do with race. Let us all pray the city removes the trash & install cameras to catch the individuals dumping on the property. #WestBaltimore pic.twitter.com/CCaRH5c0aO

It is so sad to see @VictorBlackwell & @CNN turn the light currently shining on #WestBaltimore into a race issue. 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. pic.twitter.com/LTG8AnT27x

Let's continue to expose the truth. This is a neighborhood filled w/families that have small children. West Baltimore is filled with trash thanks to dumping. A problem city officials should have addressed years ago. This is @RepCummings district. @realDonaldTrump
More to come pic.twitter.com/gFFszjW490

Let's walk through a typical abandoned row house in West Baltimore. You will find at least one of these on every street. According to residents, there is an uptick in homeless thanks to the increase in drug inventory post 2015 riots. This is @RepCummings district, more to come… pic.twitter.com/KOu87Mqlys

In this video, @RepCummings constituents explain how clean Coppin State University is kept, while their neighborhood is used as a dumping ground. I was told if trash was not in marked green cans, the city refused to remove it. More abandoned row houses. #WestBaltimore pic.twitter.com/wuSNoiNJED

In the immortal words of George Orwell – “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act” and few are more willing to tell it than President Trump.
