You have been ripped off for years by the Democrats, & gotten nothing but poverty & crime. It will only get worse UNLESS YOU ELECT KIMBERLY KLACIK TO CONGRESS. She brings with her the power & ECONOMIC STRENGTH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. She works sooo hard...."....Baltimore will turn around, and I will help. Crime will go way down, money and jobs will pour in. Life will be MUCH better because Kimberly really cares. The Dems have had 100 years and they gave you nothing but heartache. Baltimore is the WORST IN NATION, Kimberly will.."....fix it, and fast. The current recipient has no chance, and wont even try. As I have often said, Baltimore is last in everything, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE! Kimberly is fully Endorsed by me, something I do not do lightly. Take advantage of it and MAKE BALTIMORE GREAT!"Mfume released a statement Sunday afternoon, saying: "Donald Trump and my opponent are two of a kind. They love each other, but more importantly they deserve each other. Mr. Trump will soon find out that he can't tell the people of Baltimore City, Baltimore County or Howard County how to vote, or who to vote for. Instead of Baltimore bashing, how about showing a little leadership in the middle of a pandemic Mr. President ... Now tweet that!"President Trump last tweeted support for Klacik by retweeting her online ad, which went viral.Before that, the last time President Trump tweeted about Baltimore was to call the city a "disgusting, rat- and rodent-infested mess."At the time, Klacik, then a political commentator who appeared on FOX News, had tweeted about trash in west Baltimore, saying: "(Cummings) claims to care about children & their future, however in west Baltimore you will find abandoned homes on every block. Many filled with trash, rodents & homeless looking for shelter. Children live on these streets seen here. This district belongs to @RepCummings. More to come."
