The president's tweetstorm was directed at Baltimore via the city's representative in Congress, House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings.
CNN anchor Victor Blackwell responded to President Donald Trump's Saturday morning screed against his hometown of Baltimore by drawing connections between the president's language and the kinds of neighborhoods Trump frequently targets, choking up while coming to his city's defense.
The president's tweetstorm was directed at Baltimore via Representative Elijah Cummings, whose congressional district includes much of the Maryland city. As chair of the House Oversight Committee, Cummings is a powerful figure on Capitol Hill who wields significant oversight authority over the Trump administration and who has used it to investigate squalid conditions inside detention facilities at the U.S.
The CNN anchor also recalled a tweet from before the 2017 inauguration in which Trump attacked the civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis and told him to"spend more time" on his"crime infested" district.
