Michelle Obama Voices Pride in Baltimore Students After Trump's Racist Rant Against the City

Michelle Obama praised students from Baltimore on Saturday, hours after President Donald Trump tweeted racist remarks about the Maryland city.

On Saturday morning, the president called the city a “very dangerous & filthy place” during a Twitter rant against Rep. Elijah Cummings, whose district includes parts of Baltimore.

According to U.S. Census data, Cummings’ district is about 53 percent African-American, while the city of Baltimore as a whole was last estimated to be about 62.8 percent African-American.

Trump, 73, called Cummings a “brutal bully” and accused him of “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.”

And assume that the best offense must necessary be equivalent to the truth.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/12/magazine/baltimore-tragedy-crime.html

Note that the article refers to the city as a whole for some things, but specific parts for others. And it prompted no outcry--in fact, the publication which, 4 months ago, pointed out problems now seems to be saying that it's all hunky-dory. Without saying how the turnabout happened, nor, it seems, apologizing for what must be an incredibly racist article by Pro Publica and the ever racist/fascist NYT.
