TEHRAN, Jul 28 -US President Donald Trump has once again provoked backlash over his “racist attacks” on an another prominent African-American lawmaker, amid the ongoing criticism of his comments about four congresswomen.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Trump on Twitter Saturday called Rep. Elijah Cummings “a brutal bully” and described his district as “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
House speaker Nancy Pelosi decried Trump’s “racist” remarks about the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, saying the Democratic lawmaker is “a beloved leader in Baltimore.”
Trump’s attack followed Cummings’ statement in which he described the treatment of migrant children in US facilities “government-sponsored child abuse.”
"What does that mean? What does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces, can't take a shower? Come on man,” Cummings yelled.
Cummings also criticized acting Homeland Security chief Kevin McAleenan for claiming the department was doing its “level best” when it comes to the humanitarian crisis at the border.
Trump had described detention centers at the border as “clean, efficient and well run” before saying “no human being would want to live” in Cummings’ district.
