It should be noted that:
1. Rep Elijah Cummings heads a committee that continues to investigate trump.
2. Prior to his tweetstorm on Saturday, Fox n Friends ran an anti-Cummings segment. So once again, some crappy tv show has a disproportionate influence on the most powerful man in the world. He has access to our entire intelligence community and some of the world’s greatest tech. And instead, relies on Fox News...
3. Rep Cummings district consists of some of the most affluent parts of the country, including John Hopkins. So clearly Donald is going after the minorities who, as he puts it, “infest” the poorer parts. He’s going after Rep Cummings.
What’s sad is that his explicit racism doesn’t appear to be having much blowback among republicans. If anything, seeing the president essentially wear a white hood seems to be energizing his base of republicans.
Now why would that be?
Imagine the backlash Obama or Clinton would’ve endured from the GOP had they gone after (White) midwestern dumps ravaged by opioids? I personally can’t think of worse **** holes than Arkansas, West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky. Those are complete **** holes.
