Hours before President Trump incited a liberal firestorm of fake racism by tweeting that Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Baltimore Congressional district was a rat-infested crime-ridden toilet, the Maryland Rep’s Baltimore home was broken into. It’s weird how this information only came out now, isn’t it? It’s like democrats and the liberal media wanted to hide proof that Baltimore has a crime problem so they could accuse Trump of racism for saying Baltimore has a crime problem.
Here’s the tweets that kicked this ridiculous episode off:
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

Because Cummings is black and Trump is white democrats and their liberal media propagandists declared the President racist and even tried to argue that rat-infestations are good and that Baltimore is a really safe city. Like all things liberals try to argue, this was a lie.
Fox News reports that a few hours before Trump sent those tweets out, a Baltimore rat was breaking into Elijah Cummings’ house:
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., confirmed Friday that an apparent burglar tried to break into his Baltimore house last weekend — but said he “scared the intruder away by yelling.”
“An individual attempted to gain entry into my residence at approximately 3:40 AM on Saturday, July 27. I was notified of the intrusion by my security system, and I scared the intruder away by yelling before the person gained entry into the residential portion of the house,” said Cummings in a statement.
So…Trump was right about Baltimore?
Also, I can’t get over how this information managed to stay buried for nearly a week while liberals were throwing a collective spazz-out over the “racism” of Trump saying Baltimore has issues with crime.
Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of faux outrage because President Trump sent out another tweet concerning the matter:
Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!

Which of course set the left off all over again.
Hey @realDonaldTrump: You are the President of the United States of America. You should never gloat about a crime. Period. https://t.co/LJljwTAb8T

It began with Trump’s vilification of Muslims and immigrants.
Then he defended “fine people” at a Nazi rally.
Then he encouraged chants of “send them back.”
He demonized communities of color.
Now, he celebrates a crime against a Member of Congress.
Where does it end?

Trump tried to explain he wasn’t trolling Cummings with that tweet, but it will not stop the left from their pearl-clutching and fainting:
Pres. Trump says his tweet about Elijah Cummings was not meant “as a wise guy tweet” https://t.co/r7kZAOKXfi pic.twitter.com/HdCB8Botr1

Keep in mind that this stupid episode began with President Trump making a 100% true statement that Baltimore is filthy and dangerous. Can you imagine how the media would have reacted if Obama ever said anything true?
