Default Re: Politics and the Church

The poverty rate is over 22%, and the population is shrinking. The city’s politics are riven with endemic corruption — former Mayor Catherine Pugh resigned in disgrace this May. She's the third Baltimore mayor in a row to leave in the wake of intense scandal. Baltimore is dotted with thousands of vacant buildings, and as for rodents, exterminator Orkin listed Baltimore in the top 10 of its annual survey of “rattiest cities.” The 1970s promotional nickname “Charm City” is as ironic as ever.

Also, to continue with the hypocrisy you can look at Bernie Sanders comments on Baltimore while blasting Trump for making similar remarks.

The entire fracas erupted when Cummings was attacking homeland security officials about the conditions at the border. It seems like a very reasonable point that Cummings seems to care less about the people he represents than he does about people who have entered the US illegally.

Other hypocrisy is to blame Trump for the problem because he is President the last two years and give Cummings a pass who has been the Baltimore representative for decades.
