Article snippet: series of tweets from the president about the committee chairman, the city, and several people who came to the defense of Cummings or Baltimore. Trump on Monday also blasted Cummings for his forceful questioning of acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan. “Elijah Cummings never even went to the Southern Border and then he screams at the very good people who, despite Congresses failure to fix the Loopholes and Asylum, make it work,” Trump tweeted. The questioning, in which Cummings demanded McAleenan account for reports of migrant children being kept in squalid, unsanitary conditions, was the subject of Trump’s original tweet over the weekend, in which he called Cummings a “brutal bully.” “What does that mean? What does that mean? When a child is sitting in their own feces, can’t take a shower?” Cummings asked loudly. “Come on, man. What’s that about? None of us would have our children in that position. They are human beings.” Trump’s attacks on Cummings have largely focused on conditions in Baltimore and started with the president calling the city "disgusting" and "rodent infested." The remarks have drawn comparisons to both a similar 2017 dig at Rep. MORE (D-Ga.) and a series of tweets calling on four progressive minority congresswomen to “go back” to the “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2019 Ca...
