Cummings Responds to Trump’s Criticism of ‘Rat and Rodent Infested’ Baltimore

 

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) has responded to criticism from President Donald Trump over the Maryland congressman’s treatment of border patrol officials during committee hearings and the conditions of the district he represents.

 

“Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors,” Cummings, who represents the Maryland 7th Congressional District since 1996, wrote on Twitter. “It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.”

 

Instead of addressing Trump’s allegations about the conditions of his district, he targeted the president for prescription drug prices.

 

“Just yesterday, I held a hearing on the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs and the financial hardships that families across the nation, and in Baltimore, are facing,” he continued.

 

Cummings added, “Mr. President, we can address this together. Two years ago, I went to the White House to ask you to endorse my bill to let the government negotiate directly for lower drug prices. You told me then that you supported the legislation and that you would work with me to make it happen. I took you at your word.”

 

On early July 27, Trump called out Cummings for being a “brutal bully” and “shouting and screaming” at border patrol officials about the conditions at the U.S.-Mexico border during committee hearings.

 

“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,” Trump said. “His district is considered the Worst in the USA.”
