President Trump tweeted a video Wednesday of Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings calling his own district “drug-infested” back in 1999.

Trump called Cummings a “brutal bully” and “racist” last weekend, while describing his majority-black district as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” which he has since defended. The president has faced accusations of racism for the attacks, namely the use of the word “infested.”
