You know who did, Mr. President? I did. From the day I was brought home from the hospital, to the day I left for college and a lot of people I care about still do. There are challenges, no doubt.
“Donald Trump has tweeted more than 43,000 times. He’s insulted thousands of people… but when he tweets about infestation, it’s about black and brown people.” pic.twitter.com/PPVvL9VlUUTrump's tweet drew backlash from members of Congress and the mayor of Baltimore, Bernard C."Jack" Young, who called Trump"a disappointment to the people of Baltimore, our country, and to the world.
"Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors," Cummings said in a tweet."It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents."
