唐纳德·特朗普总统的批评者对他最近将马里兰州伊莱贾·卡明斯的国会选区贴上“恶心”和“啮齿动物出没”的标签做出了回应，这些照片显示共和党控制区的居民区似乎也充斥着无家可归、贫困和浪费。
特朗普周六抱怨卡明斯和巴尔的摩——其中大约一半落在国会议员所在的地区——称这座城市“令人作呕的老鼠和啮齿动物出没”特朗普的盟友和福克斯新闻等保守媒体并没有谴责或否认总统的言论，而是试图通过分享马里兰州大都市贫困和肮脏地区的照片和视频来支持他的主张。白宫办公厅主任米克·马尔瓦尼周日表示，如果他的前南卡罗来纳州国会选区有同样多的犯罪和无家可归者，他将被“解雇”。
但特朗普的批评者开始指出，这些照片是精心挑选的，未能讲述巴尔的摩或卡明斯区内许多郊区和农村社区的全部故事，他们还贴出了自己遭受贫困和犯罪困扰的社区的照片。
此外，据报道，这些照片是在国会选区和由坚定的共和党特朗普捍卫者控制的各州拍摄的，包括俄亥俄州国会议员吉姆·乔丹、肯塔基州参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔和加利福尼亚州圣华金谷和弗雷斯诺的众议员德文·努内斯(Devin Nunes)选区。
照片显示了共和党成员控制的大部分农村和农业地区贫困和浪费的绝望景象。
在特朗普周六对巴尔的摩的咆哮中，他形容卡明斯区比墨西哥南部边境“糟糕得多，也更危险”。并声称，“他所在的地区被认为是美国最差的。”
但是许多左倾推特用户捍卫民主美国各地区，注意到10个贫困水平最低的州中有8个是蓝色州。9个贫困程度最高的州中有8个是红色州，根据人口普查数据。
福克斯新闻周日加入特朗普对马里兰州第七区的攻势狐狸和朋友联合主持人皮特·黑塞斯说卡明斯监督了一种“系统性的贫困文化”许多媒体分析家认为是这样福克斯新闻自己的周六片段卡明斯区，这首先激起了特朗普的反巴尔的摩咆哮。该片段展示了来自西巴尔的摩最贫困地区的图片和视频。

白宫办公厅主任马尔瓦尼也支持谴责巴尔的摩和卡明斯的长期民主党选区。

这条线索指出，全国各地的人们都生活在贫困之中，而不仅仅是共和党或民主党控制的地区。

“问题是，许多人已经明白了这一点...贫困、无家可归和犯罪在美国随处可见。挑出一个城市和国会议员(尤其是@RepCummings)不是解决问题。是关于别的事情。我们都知道。"
两党的许多现任和前任国会议员都指出特朗普应该更加关注，因为所有这些城市都挤满了美国人，而不仅仅是竞争对手政党的成员。
“美利坚合众国包括西巴尔的摩，”前共和党伊利诺伊州众议员乔·沃尔什说周日发推特。“有人告诉特朗普巴尔的摩在美国。特朗普是美国总统。那么特朗普不应对巴尔的摩令人作呕的状况负责吗？”
马尔瓦尼为特朗普对巴尔的摩的攻击辩护，他说福克斯周日新闻如果他在2010年翻转的前南卡罗来纳州农村地区有巴尔的摩那样的犯罪行为，他就会被“解雇”。但是批评家们抨击了马尔瓦尼的主张，指出人口普查和贫困统计显示马尔瓦尼所在的农村和农业第五区比卡明斯还穷地区。

“如果我所在的地区像巴尔的摩那样贫穷，如果我所在的地区像芝加哥那样犯罪，如果我所在的地区像旧金山那样无家可归，我把所有的时间都花在华盛顿特区，追查穆勒的调查，这场奇怪的弹劾运动，我就会被解雇，”马尔瓦尼周日说。
许多特朗普的批评者称总统为“种族主义者”“挑出马里兰州一个主要是非裔美国人的地区。特朗普当选前，他称佐治亚州民主党黑人众议员约翰·刘易斯的选区“犯罪猖獗”但是马尔瓦尼说特朗普的评论“与种族无关”
TRUMP CRITICS POST PHOTOS OF POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS IN REPUBLICAN DISTRICTS ACROSS U.S.
Critics of President Donald Trump responded to his recent labeling of Elijah Cummings' congressional district in Maryland as "disgusting" and "rodent infested" with photos of neighborhoods in Republican-controlled districts that also appeared to be rife with homelessness, poverty and waste.
Trump on Saturday railed against Cummings and Baltimore — about half of which falls in the congressman's district — calling the city "disgusting rat and rodent infested." Rather than decry or disavow the president's remarks, Trump's allies and conservative media outlets like Fox News attempted to bolster his claim by sharing photos and video of destitute and dirty portions of the Maryland metropolis. White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday he'd have been "fired" from running his former South Carolina congressional district if it had as much crime and homelessness.
But Trump critics began pointing out these images were cherry-picked and failed to tell the whole story of Baltimore or the many suburban and rural communities included in Cummings' district, they also posted pictures of their own of neighborhoods blighted by poverty and crime.
What's more, these photos were reportedly taken in congressional districts and states controlled by staunch Republican Trump defenders, including Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Rep. Devin Nunes' district in California's San Joaquin Valley and Fresno.
The photos showed desperate scenes of poverty and waste in the largely rural and agricultural areas held by members of the GOP.
During Trump's Saturday rant against Baltimore, he described Cummings' district as "FAR WORSE and more dangerous" than the Southern Border with Mexico. And claimed, "His district is considered the Worst in the USA."
But many left-leaning Twitter users defended Democratic-held districts across the U.S., noting that 8 out of 10 states with the lowest poverty levels are blue states. And 8 out of 9 states with the highest level of poverty are red states, according to Census data.
Fox News joined Trump's offensive against Maryland's 7th District Sunday, with Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth saying Cummings has overseen a "systemic culture of poverty." Many media analysts suggested it was Fox News' own Saturday segment on Cummings' district which provoked Trump's anti-Baltimore rant in the first place. The segment showed pictures and videos from the most destitute portions of West Baltimore.

White House Chief of Staff Mulvaney joined in support of condemning Baltimore and Cummings' longtime Democratic district.
A viral thread of pictures showing Republican-held districts was posted by an attorney using the Twitter handle of @BJS_quire Sunday morning. Several GOP senators and House members including Lindsey Graham and Matt Gaetz were targeted for scenes of dire poverty in their respective South Carolina and Florida constituent bases.
The thread noted people live in poverty in districts across the entire country, not just districts under either Republican or Democrat electoral control.

"The point, which many have picked up on, is this...Poverty, homelessness, & crime can be seen across America. Singling out one city and Congressman (especially of the pedigree of @RepCummings) is not about addressing the problems. It's about something else. And we all know it."
Many current and former members of Congress from both sides of the aisle noted Trump should be more concerned because all of these cities are filled with Americans, not just members of a rival political party.
"The United States of America includes West Baltimore," former GOP Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh tweeted Sunday. "Somebody tell Trump that Baltimore is in the United States. Trump is President of the United States. So then isn't Trump responsible for the disgusting conditions in Baltimore?"
Mulvaney defended Trump's attacks on Baltimore, telling Fox News Sunday that he would have been "fired" if his former rural South Carolina district he flipped in 2010 had crime like that of Baltimore. But critics pounced on Mulvaney's claims, pointing to census and poverty statistics showing Mulvaney's very rural and agriculture 5th District was poorer than Cummings' district.

"If I had poverty in my district like they have in Baltimore, if I had crime in my district like they have in Chicago, if I had homelessness in my district like they have in San Francisco, and I spent all of my time in Washington, D.C., chasing down this Mueller investigation, this bizarre impeachment crusade, I'd get fired," Mulvaney said Sunday.
Many Trump critics labeled the president a "racist" for singling out a largely African-American part of Maryland. And prior to Trump's election, he called black Democratic Georgia congressman John Lewis' district "crime infested." But Mulvaney said Trump's comments had "zero to do with race."
