A CNN anchor got choked up on air Saturday after President Trump ripped Rep. Elijah Cummings and the city, calling it “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
“Donald Trump has tweeted more than 43,000 times. He’s insulted thousands of people, many different types of people. But when he tweets about infestation, it’s about black and brown people,” Victor Blackwell said.
“The president says about Congressman Cummings’ district that no human would want to live there,” Blackwell continued.
“You know who did, Mr. President? I did, from the day I was brought home from the hospital to the day I left for college, and a lot of people I care about still do.”
It’s far from the first time the president’s words have triggered waterworks on CNN. Morning host Alisyn Camerota needed a tissue in January 2018 when discussing the president’s remarks on “s–thole countries.”
“I don’t know why this one makes me so emotional,” Camerota said.

Probably choked on a Popeye's chicken bone.

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a shithole city, "a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess”, and the heroin capital of the U.S.

Not all of it. But large parts are.
I think Balitmore's reputation was sealed in the public mind after seeing the popular crime series, The Wire. That series was all slums, drug dealers, corrupt pols, etc.

I tried to watch it. Couldn't do it. When you don't care about any of the characters, it's hard to stay tuned.
Now, if the plot contained nuking Baltimore from orbit -- just to be sure -- I'd would have hung in there.

Well, I can offer you this.
Apparently, some uppity team of NFL players in Baltimore knelt for the national anthem and you just know what is gonna happen next to those America-haters!

I just want to note that use of a term such as human is insensitive and inappropriate and, in its place I recommend the gender neutral , hupeople.
