Trump attacks black congressman in new racist tirade
Tehran (KNA) - US President Donald Trump has launched a “racist” attack on Representative Elijah Cummings, yet another lawmaker of color, merely days after telling four congresswomen of minority backgrounds to go back to places where they came from.
The president went on a twitter tirade on Saturday, accusing Cummings, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, of doing such a "poor job" that his district in Baltimore, Maryland has become a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess."
Trump went on to claim that conditions in Cummings' district, which is 52 percent African American, is "far worse and more dangerous" than those at the US-Mexico border.
"If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place," Trump said, arguing that the lawmaker's district "is considered the Worst in the USA" and "no human being would want to live there."
