Is It "RACIST" To Ask Elijah Cummings To Account For The $16B Trump Gave Baltimore?
July 30, 2019
If Elijah Cummings leads the OVERSIGHT committee, maybe he could look into what's gone wrong in his own (literally) rat-infested district.
The crime rate leads the nation, in a bad way. Literacy rates are appalling. Entire neighborhoods are shuttered. Every single block one journalist visited had at least one home without a roof on it. Even their own mayor said while touring it that she could "smell the rats" and the "dead animals".
Enormous sums of money are being dumped into the district to solve the problem. And it's run by Democrats? who claim to be champions of that particular cause.
But is it true? ARE they the crusading problem-solvers of the poor they claim to be? Or do they just set up government departments that suck taxpayer money and funnel it God-knows-where? Waste? Corruption? Embezzlement? Some of each?
Who's overseeing the overseers? Three of the previous four mayors (all Democrats) left office under a cloud of scandal. The last one was personally profiting on a sketchy children's book sale scheme on the taxpayer dime.
Trump, who watched Elijah Cummings's Oversight committee issue some blisteringly obscene personal attacks on the former head of ICE, Homan wasn't about to sit back and let that abuse go unanswered. That led to the tweets putting Baltimore and it's Orkin confirmed rat problem (among other social ills) squarely in the national spotlight.
Baltimore's numbers are the worst in the United States on Crime and the Economy. Billions of dollars have been pumped in over the years, but to no avail. The money was stolen or wasted. Ask Elijah Cummings where it went. He should investigate himself with his Oversight Committee!
