After Trump’s West Baltimore tweets, CNN journo tries to ‘imagine the reaction’ from the Right if Ilhan Omar criticized a ‘slice of America’ (and people have thoughts)
President Trump’s tweets today about Rep. Elijah Cummings’ district in Maryland caused West Baltimore to hit the trending list on Twitter:
Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA......

....As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming 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

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!

And with that, CNN’s Oliver Darcy got on the journalism job by presenting a not-so-hypothetical situation:
“No human being would want to live there.” Imagine the reaction from the right-wing outrage machine if @IlhanMN had made that comment about a slice of America. They quite literally would tell her to “go back.” twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…

As you might have guessed, Darcy’s tweet got plenty of reaction. We’ll start here:
Because leftists never disparage rural America, right? twitter.com/oliverdarcy/st…

Well that’s different, apparently. As for “imagining”…
This is so revealing. Omar compares some Americans to Nazis and detention centers to concentration camps so we don’t have to imagine.
One thing to call them both out, but you can’t yell hypocrisy when you refuse to hold one side to any standards. twitter.com/oliverdarcy/st…

Maybe some journos don’t see that.
The people who refer to rural America as “flyover country” have some thoughts on properly respecting places where people live

I’ll be over here clinging to my guns and bible awaiting your answer.

Haven’t you noticed that the left-wing outrage machine is all over this. Not refuting the claim, just screaming “racist”. twitter.com/oliverdarcy/st…

There are a few journalists coming to the defense of Baltimore today, that’s for sure.
