Yes, good point. Also Kushner owns rat infested properties in Baltimore, another excellent example of hypocrisy.

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.

Al Sharpton on the Trump vs Cummings debate

"He’s not mature enough to take criticism"

Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy here? Cummings criticized Trumps handling of immigrants, Trump criticizes Cummings handling of Baltimore and then the whole world erupts over Trump's criticism while silent about Cummings criticism.

"It is an abomination to me that he would attack Cummings who has the moral courage to question how the immigrants are being treated."


Seriously? Cummings has the moral courage to question how immigrants are being treated but it is an abomination if Trump questions how people of Baltimore are being treated?

If Cummings says it — moral courage.

If Trump says it — an abomination

If Bernie Sanders says it — no problem

If Trump says it — racist

If Cummings criticizes Trump — needed to be said

If Trump criticizes Cummings — doesn’t have the maturity to take criticism

If HBO produces a 5 season docudrama about corruption in Baltimore — They get nominated for a variety of different awards including two Primetime Emmy Awards, fifteen NAACP Image Awards, two Edgar Awards (one win), three Writers Guild of America Awards (one win), one Directors Guild of America Award, and has also won a Peabody Award.

If Trump says the same thing — The creator of the Wire calls him a racist moron.

The worst thing about Political Correctness is that persons of any so-called "minority" status can no longer be held accountable for their actions.

How can we have leaders like this??

If Cummings is challenged, Trump a racist.

If Hilary is challenged, Trump a misogynist.

If Omar is challenged, Trump an islamophobe.

If border policies in the House are challenged, Trump is a xenophobe.

How can we have leaders like this?? And this is why I will guarantee than "old, white, men" like Biden and Bernie cannot win the Democratic ticket.

Immigrants are being scapegoated.

Why the big deal about immigrants and the wall? People are losing their jobs and they assume it is to lower wage immigrants. The truth is they are losing their jobs to technology -- robots, AI, automated tellers, etc.

Simple smoke and mirrors -- point at the border and let everyone huff and puff about that until it is too late and there is nothing to be done about it anymore.

I got a coffee at a McDonalds the other day and they have 4 automated kiosks. You simply pick out what you want, pay for it with a card, and then pick it up at the take out window. Instead of 4 cashiers they had 1.

No one is against immigrants who come here legally, only those who cheat. Many of those who cheat do so for nefarious reasons. MS-13 anyone?

Talk to officials from DHS/ICE/CBP. They are screaming for help. All they get are lies, distortions, and fabrications from the likes of AOC and other Dem politicians. Elijah Cummings screams about the border as if he cares, yet his own district is a rat-infested nightmare compared to the border.
