As the hyper partisan media attempts to paint President Donald Trump a racist for telling the truth about the situation in Baltimore, Maryland, more news continues to surface proving the president was right to describe the city as “infested” with rats as well as violence, crime, and illegal weapons.
A missile launcher was discovered by the Transportation Security Administration in a man’s luggage at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. It was later determined not to be a live weapon, but almost certainly is illustrative of the larger image of Baltimore.
Yahoo! News reported:
Federal officials say they’ve found a missile launcher in a man’s luggage at the airport in Baltimore.
The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that the military grade weapon was located in the man’s checked luggage at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
TSA officers called airport police who found the man and detained him for questioning. The unidentified traveler said he was in the military and coming home from Kuwait. He said he wanted to keep the weapon as a souvenir.
Over the weekend, President Trump described the once prosperous city as “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
The mainstream media and Democrats colluded to use this tweet to accuse the president of overt racism, denying the horrifying facts on the ground in the once prosperous city.
However, prior to the hyper partisan politics of the Trump era, local media agreed with President Trump on the condition of the city.
Before the hyper-partisanship set in completely with the fake news media, the Baltimore Sun published an article declaring that Trump is correct about his assertion that Baltimore and other large Democrat-run cities are disaster zones.
The op/ed was written by Sean Kennedy at the Maryland Public Policy Institute in Nov. 2016, shortly after Trump was elected to the White House, admitting the problems with Baltimore that Trump brought up were in fact legitimate.
“Donald J. Trump is known for his hyperbole, but not all of his ideas are a stretch. Our inner cities are a “disaster,” as he said in the final presidential debate — and they should be officially declared so,” Kennedy wrote.
In fact, only three months ago the Mayor of Baltimore fled the city and the state as federal authorities conducted a criminal raid on her home. She allegedly engaged in illicit activity relating to sales of her children’s book.
Catherine Pugh, the Democrat mayor of Baltimore has reportedly fled the state of Maryland amid FBI and IRS raids on her home, and her office in City Hall.
“[N]o one has seen the mayor and her own spokesperson doesn’t know where she is even though she’s supposed to be recovering from pneumonia,” according to WJZ13. “However, a source tells WJZ however Pugh was at her home when the raid began, but has since left the state.”
Her attorney reportedly did not reply to a comment request.
Citing health concerns, Pugh took an indefinite leave of absence just as an investigation was opened into her dealings selling children’s books.
It appears Democrats are completely willing to overlook crime, poverty, corruption, and massive piles of garbage and human waste on the streets if doing so will make President Trump look bad.
