Nikki Haley Criticizes President Trump Tweet on Break-In at Elijah Cummings’ Home in Crime-Infested Baltimore

by

Former Trump U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley criticized President Trump Friday after he dunked on Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) regarding a recent break-in at Cummings’ West Baltimore home as part of a political battle with Cummings over rat and crime “infested” conditions in Baltimore.

Trump wrote on twitter earlier Friday, “Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!”

Haley has been largely silent as Cummings and the Democrats have called Trump everything but a child of God in their efforts to reverse the 2016 election through subversion, treason and endless, spiteful investigations led by Cummings and other Democrats abetted by deep state operatives.

Haley chided Trump about his Cummings tweet, writing in her schoolmarm voice, “This is so unnecessary.”

A few days ago Haley said she was not siding with President Trump on Baltimore, but was siding with “the people of Baltimore.”

NBC’s Jacob Soborff reminded Haley, then serving as South Carolina governor, of her tepid support for Trump at the 2016 GOP convention.

The Hill reported Cummings issued a statement Friday about the burglary:

“An individual attempted to gain entry into my residence at approximately 3:40 AM on Saturday, July 27. I was notified of the intrusion by my security system, and I scared the intruder away by yelling before the person gained entry into the residential portion of the house,” the lawmaker said through his office.

“I thank the Baltimore Police Department for their response and ask that all further inquiries be directed to them,” he added.

Earlier this week, the Trump campaign released a twenty-year-old comments by Cummings using similar language as Trump to describe conditions in Baltimore.

Cummings has represented Baltimore in Congress for decades as the conditions in the city have worsened to Third World status.

The current row with Cummings began a week ago when President Trump commented on the shocking videos of taken by Kimberly Klacik, a black Republican activist, showing garbage and rat-infested neighborhoods in Cummings’ West Baltimore district.
