(Baltimore, MD) — U.S. Housing Secretary Ben Carson claims there are some good things and bad things in the city of Baltimore. Visiting Baltimore today, Carson cited problems that cannot be swept under the rug. His visit followed President Trump’s harsh criticism of the Maryland city. Trump has called Baltimore corrupt and “rat infested.” The focus of Trump’s criticism is Elijah Cummings, a prominent black congressman who chairs the House Oversight Committee. Trump has called him “racist.” Carson noted his long association with the city of Baltimore as a pediatric neurosurgeon.
