Warren referred to Cummings as one of her 'dearest friends,' saying he 'is a good man through and through, and he fights for what is just in this country.'
Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren blasted President Donald Trump on Saturday, calling him a"racist" after his attacks on her congressional colleague Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings of Maryland's 7th district.
"Donald Trump, once again, is a racist who makes ever-more outrageous, racist remarks," Warren, a senator from Massachusetts, said in comments to reporters."It is insulting, both to the congressman and to the people he represents." Referring to Cummings as on of her"dearest friends" she said he"is a good man through and through, and he fights for what is just in this country.
Senator Elizabeth Warren talks with Representative Elijah Cummings on Capitol Hill on February 12, 2013 in Washington, D.C."Cumming[s] District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.
Trump's comments about Baltimore and Cummings came after one of his favorite Fox News programs, Fox & Friends, aired a segment highlighting significant problems and poverty in West Baltimore. Although the area of the city does have a range of serious issues, the editorial board of The Baltimore Sun and other pointed out that Cummings district also contains some of the nation's most prominent institutions.
"In pointing to the 7th [District], the president wasn't hoping his supporters would recognize landmarks like Johns Hopkins Hospital, perhaps the nation's leading medical center. He wasn't conjuring images of the U.S. Social Security Administration, where they write the checks that so many retired and disabled Americans depend upon,""It wasn't about the beauty of the Inner Harbor or the proud history of Fort McHenry.
