Joe Biden lashed out at President Trump after he criticized Rep. Elijah Cummings and called the Democrat’s Baltimore-based district a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

“[Cummings] is one of the finest people I’ve ever served with. It is despicable for you to attack him and the people of Baltimore this way. Once again you have proved yourself unfit to hold the office. A President is supposed to lift this nation up. Not tear it down,” the 2020 front-runner said in a tweet Saturday.
