President Trump on Tuesday tried to defend his most recent attack on a lawmaker of color, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and Baltimore, claiming the city’s African-American residents “really appreciate what I’m doing.”
President Trump on Tuesday defended himself against accusations that his attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and the city of Baltimore were motivated by racism.
“Baltimore has been very badly mishandled for many years,” the president said. “Congressman Cummings has been there for a long time. ... It’s a corrupt city, there’s no question about it. ... The government has pumped in over the years billions and billions of dollars to no avail. Baltimore is an example of what corrupt government leads to.”
“I think Rep. Cummings should take his Oversight Committee and start doing oversight on Baltimore,” Trump said.
