After Trump Slams Cummings' 'Rodent Infested' District, Undeniable Video of Living Conditions Surfaces
Bristling from constant attacks on conditions at the southern border from Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, President Donald Trump on Saturday morning unleashed the truth on the state of Cummings’ own home district.
Trump’s tweets came after Cummings’ criticism of U.S. Border Patrol employees earlier this month.
Cummings, whose district encompasses parts of Baltimore, infamously implied there was an “empathy deficit” among agents after hearing rumors about what was happening on the border.
“Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men and women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border,” Trump tweeted Saturday.
“As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded,” the president said in a follow-up tweet. “Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
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

While Cummings would likely reject this characterization of his district, damning video that appears to come from the district reveals there are, without a doubt, some major problems in the city.
The video, posted by local Republican activist Kimberly Klacik, shows a filthy and potentially dangerous trash dump in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
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

For anyone looking to invest their hard-earned capital in the city, sights like a popular dumping ground are an immediate red flag.
And no new money coming into the area isn’t the only problem.
Trash heaps like the one seen in this Baltimore neighborhood are not only dangerous because of the glass, metal and noxious chemicals that could be hiding in any pile, but also because they provide a prime habitat for disease-carrying vectors like rats and mice.
Rats and mice, especially in dense populations, foster the growth of fleas.
An explosive population of these bloodsuckers comes with a whole hose of medieval diseases.
Progressive liberal meccas like Los Angeles and San Francisco are already tangling with diseases that saw their peak in crusader-era Europe, and if Baltimore’s trash problem continues to pile up, that city might be next.
