The feud between President Trump and Elijah Cummings reached an ignition point when Trump called out the conditions in Cummings’ home district of Baltimore

Now, we are learning why Trump did it.

Former NFL player Jack Brewer recently told Fox News that he urged President Trump to call out Cummings.

According to Fox News:

Former NFL player Jack Brewer said he personally asked President Trump weeks ago to bring attention to the issues of Baltimore and call out Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., for his failure to address the poverty and crime that have overtaken his city.

“I had a chance to meet with President Trump, and I told him please call out Elijah Cummings and Baltimore. I asked him to do that three weeks ago and he did it,” said Brewer, a former NFL linebacker from 2002 to 2006.

…

“I’m seeing these kids that don’t have any core, no culture within them. They don’t have anyone teaching them or training them,” Brewer explained.

Brewer, who went on to a successful business career after his playing days, blames the politicians in Baltimore for focusing only on “issues that help them raise money,” instead of the issues plaguing the “poor black kids whose parents are not donating to their PACs and funds.”

Brewer claims that Cummings is available when it is convenient to him but disappears when the real work is needed to be done.
