"The White House has far more power to effect change in this city, for good or ill, than any single member of Congress including Mr. Cummings. If there are problems here, rodents included, they are as much his responsibility as anyone’s, perhaps more because he holds the most powerful office in the land," the newspaper's editorial board wrote.

In the immediate wake of the tweets, another hashtag, #WeAreBaltimore, trended, with more than 17,700 uses.
