A 1999 video of Rep. Cummings speaking during a House hearing has resurfaced and it is about as bad as it gets for Democrats.
Cummings used the exact same words Trump did to describe Baltimore, but there was ZERO outrage at the time or even now over what Cummings said.
How Come He Can Say It?
Is this a case of Cummings being allowed to say it because he is black and lived in the area?
It sure seems that way, because Cummings words were blunt, harsh, and truthful, very much the same as Trump’s statement about Baltimore.
Cummings stated, “This morning, I left my community of Baltimore, a drug-infested area, where a lot of the drugs we are talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children.
“The same children that I watched 14 or 15 years ago as they grew up now walking around like zombies.
“This is only 40 miles away from here.”
Obviously racist… Right? Those are the rules! https://t.co/W3eX54ellK

Twisting the Narrative
One of the angles the media took to attack Trump was that he constantly uses the term “infested” ONLY when addressing people of color.
Again, this has proven to be false.
Trump happens to use that term quite often.
For instance, as the video shows, he has used it to describe the entire Democrat party.
He has also used it to describe the drug problem in New Hampshire.
Rather than actually admit the truth, Democrats insist on throwing out this racist card against Trump.
They defend Cummings with everything they have, but fail to hold him accountable for a problem he himself brought to Congress’ attention two decades ago!
So, I ask again, Rep. Cummings, what have you done to address this issue since you have been in office for more than two decades and are on the record acknowledging the problem at least as far back as 1999?
