When the truth hurts the truth-teller is not the problem. Baltimore didn't get into the Worst 10 list of major US cities' per capita murder rate * by being a Paradise. That group of volunteers really did clear out scores of tons of garbage from Baltimore streets, alleys, and vacant lots over a weekend. Cummings might or might not have been able to affect Baltimore's problems, but he wasn't even trying!
If April Ryan ever saw Truth on the streets she'd dial 9-1-1.
* Chicago doesn't make the Worst 10 list! Baltimore, IIRC, is #5.
