"Mexicans" from INDIANA! "Baltimoreans" from PHILADELPHIA! Trump's alternate geography strikes again
"There are very few Republicans in Baltimore, if any," President Trump said during the interview, seemingly irritated by Rosenstein's supposed place of origin.
Trump has been irritated at Rosenstein after the Deputy Attorney General appointed Special Counsel John Mueller in May to lead the investigation into the Trump campaign's connections to Russia after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself.
Rosenstein was nominated by President George W. Bush to serve as United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in 2005 where he oversaw federal civil and criminal litigation in the state. He later took a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit after becoming a resident of Maryland.
However, the Deputy Attorney General was not originally from Baltimore. He was born in Philadelphia, raised in Lower Moreland Township, Pennsylvania, and got his education from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
