Elijah Cummings Called Baltimore ‘Drug Infested Area’ in 1999

Embattled Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) described his community of Baltimore as a "drug infested area" in a video from a 1999 congressional hearing.

"This morning, I left my community of Baltimore, a drug infested area, where a lot of the drugs we're talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children," Cummings said. "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."

President Trump criticized both the city of Baltimore and Cummings in multiple tweets over the past week. He calledRep. Cummings a "brutal bully" and claimed the representative was "screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous."

Baltimore is what it's become under its horrible leadership, from the mayor to its federal representation. The complete, rational answers are apparently unfathomable, given the range and complexity of the problems. Those tasked with fixing the problems, the elected officials, with all else being equal, are either part of the solution or a part of the problem.

Yep it's the democrat platform to keep them blacks in chains. The amazing thing is blacks have never stopped being nothing but slaves and they don't even know it. Yep the democrats have kept them chained up in the rat infested trash filled areas that I wouldn't even allow my dog to step foot in. But blacks don't mind and are content to live in filth otherwise they wouldn't vote democrat. They like dodging bullets and burying their youth. They must otherwise they wouldn't vote democrat.
