NBA Hall-of-Famer Grant Hill is a Baltimore guy.
His father was born in Baltimore, and Hill would often spend time in the city with his family and friends.
That’s why, when President Donald Trump slammed the city and its congressman in a series of posts on social media this weekend, that Hill was one of many around the country who took offense.
….As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019
Hill wasn’t too pleased:
“It hurts. It’s unconscionable to think that the President of the United States would say that about a segment of the population,” Hill told CNN’s Van Jones on Sunday afternoon. “I have great memories and fond memories of my time in Baltimore, my grandparents, and spending summers there.
“Obviously Baltimore has gone through some challenges and struggles, like most cities have, in recent years, but the people there are good people.”
