"President Trump unless you are bringing resources and addressing economic, racial, and environmental injustices in my city, KEEP BALTIMORE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH," Scott said in a tweet shortly after the Presidential Debate.

In a series of tweets, the president called Baltimore "a disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess."
