Baltimore Sun Attacks Trump Supporter Who Organized Massive City Clean Up

Last week, Townhall covered MAGA supporter Scott Presler's call to action in Baltimore by inviting "Americans to help Americans" and go clean up neighborhoods in Charm City. Presler at first kept secret when the event would occur for fear of retaliation from the far-left like Antifa. But, on Saturday, Presler and 100 other citizens from all over the country traveled to West Baltimore for the massive trash clean up. By all measures, it was hugely successful. However, on Monday, the Baltimore Sun's editorial board ran an op-ed, trashing Presler and his group saying they only did the event to embarrass Baltimore and its residents.

The op-ed was snarkily titled, "We assume it was pure motives that led a Trump supporter to launch a cleanup in Cummings’ district, right?"

"The effort was organized by pro-Trump activist Scott Presler. He claimed the event was not political. Yes, he was inspired to come by tweets from President Donald Trump describing the area, represented by U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, as a 'rodent infested mess,'" the editors wrote. "But the visit wasn’t about showing support or animosity for either man, he said."

The Baltimore Sun and the Dems would find fault with anything not thought of and held by the Dems. If it had been their idea and executed by them it would be heralded as a great thing for Baltimore. To think all those people came who did not live in Baltimore just to help a city Cummings addressed as "rodent infested" get this reaction I saw let Baltimore fall and burn. It's like biting the hand that feeds you, just a simple thank you might have spurred more such events for the city. Live in the filth you apparently want to keep.

Thank you, Baltimore Sun, for once again proving yourself impotent and loving it.

Liberal logic to put it nicely...

Baltimore Sun and Elijah Cummings has shown no initiative to clean up Baltimore over the years and now a conservative Republican showed them up by taking the initiative. Now that a conservative Republican has taken the first step, will the Baltimore Sun, Elijah Cummings and the Liberals continue this work to fix what they have screwed up over the decades?
