OldBrownsFan Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 After President Donald Trump drew attention to Baltimore, some of his supporters went down to West Baltimore to assist with a cleanup effort. The group posted pictures of the effort with before and after photos and found some interesting things along the way. According to OANN, the group was led by activist Scott Presler, who lead over 100 volunteers after the controversy first arose in the media. Presler said his cleanup effort started with a simple tweet about going to clean up Baltimore, even if it’s just by himself. The tweet went viral, and before he knew it the effort had a slew of volunteers ready to go. The residents themselves were highly grateful and didn’t seem to be angry at Trump whatsoever. In fact, at least one of them didn’t understand why people were angry with Trump for bringing attention to it. We were told that Trump’s words about Baltimore’s trash and rat infestation problem were insulting and racist. Various media outlets and activists made a show of virtue signaling about Trump’s racist overtones and divisive rhetoric. Yet, when you get to the ground level, it would appear that the community is united. The anger towards Trump is, once again, a media fabrication. When you stop trying to make everything Trump says out to be some kind of racist attack on America, you can focus on the problem he’s highlighting and things get done. As I wrote yesterday, Trump has said some things that are incredibly inartful but is not a white supremacist or a racist. The things that he’s often talking about tend to be actual problems that Democrats themselves have acknowledged in the past. This includes Baltimore. When people ignore the media rhetoric and start taking action, things get done. https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2019/08/06/trump-supporters-clean-west-baltimore-thankful-residents-defy-media-narrative/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have covered it if this had been a group of Joe Biden or any of the other democrat presidential candidate supporters. At least we have some newer media today so we don't have to rely solely on our trustworthy MSM friends. The newer media will report on things the MSM won't cover. Then we always have the problem with our MSM liberal friends when they do report on stories and slant the news coverage to fit their narrative or only give minimal coverage to a story. Before the advent of the internet and Fox news the liberals practically controlled the news. The internet has been great until recently for alternative conservative news but I have concerns now with the monopoly of big tech and their recent censorship of conservatives. The liberals liked having almost total control of the news until the internet and I think they are out to fix that problem by censoring conservatives.
