One of Baltimore’s most famous sons has hit back at Donald Trump after the US president attacked House rep Elijah Cummings.
David Simon, creator of hit crime drama TV series The Wire, responded after the president called Mr Cummings a “brutal bully” and claimed the Democrat congressman’s Baltimore district was a “rat and rodent infested mess”.
Mr Cummings responded with his own tweets soon after, writing: “Mr President, I go home to my district daily.
If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place,” the president continued.
