Baltimore Cleanup Update: Hundreds of volunteers clean up trash in west Baltimore

Way to go Scott Presler!

BALTIMORE —
Hundreds of volunteers participated in a massive cleanup Monday in west Baltimore, inspired by the president's twitter attack last week on Baltimore and Rep. Elijah Cummings.
The cleanup was attended, in large part, by supporters of President Donald Trump.
Nearly 300 volunteers removed a toilet, chairs, tables and spare tires, among other things, from piles of trash in a west Baltimore alley.
"I think it's great. It's a good thing," said Arnold Tyree, of Baltimore.
"This is our city, and we need to clean it up," said Kenny Ebron, of west Baltimore.
"This is our city, and we need to clean it up."
The cleanup started at 8 a.m. Monday and lasted into the evening at North Fulton and Westwood avenues. Organizers said some volunteers paid out of pocket for port-a-potties, food, water and a dumpster
Most of the volunteers don't live in the neighborhood. Many of them live in other states, such as Ohio and North Carolina, and nearly all of them heard about the cleanup from Scott Presler, the organizer.
"I never intended it to turn into a national event. It was never supposed to be this big," Presler said.
Presler, who said he is an ardent supporter of Trump, is a grassroots conservative activist who has an enormous social media following. Presler said one tweet last week launched 1,000 trash bags in Monday's efforts.
"I'm a big Trump supporter, but I wanted people to know that's not the reason we're coming here today. This is not a pro-Trump rally, and this is not an anti-Rep. Cummings rally," Presler said. "This is truly the community coming together."
