Allegations of racism fly as war of words between Trump, Cummings and Pelosi escalates
House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., was the subject of President Trump's wrath this weekend, as the president called the veteran congressman a bully and a racist and attacked his leadership of his district in Baltimore. On Saturday, Trump called Cummings a “brutal bully” over Twitter for how he spoke to border patrol officials. Trump said the congressman’s Baltimore district was in “FAR WORSE” shape than the situation at the southern border. That rebuke resulted in claims of racism from Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump hit back, citing claims of racism against Pelosi from some progressive Democrats -- a reference to Pelosi's problems with the "Squad" (Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley).
