President Donald Trump is being accused of mocking the news that a Baltimore house belonging to Rep. Elijah Cummings, whom he recently attacked on Twitter, was burglarized over the weekend.

“Really bad news!” The president tweeted early Friday morning. “The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!”

Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2019

According to USA Today, police are investigating the burglary that took place during the early morning hours of July 27.

There are mixed reports as to whether the burglary occurred at the home in which Cummings resides, or if it is a rental property he owns, according to the Washington Post.

Although Trump only recently tweeted about the burglary, it actually took place hours before he launched his racist attack on Cummings and the city of Baltimore, calling Cummings’ district a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

Social media took Trump’s recent tweet mocking the burglary at Cummings’ home as another attack, accusing the president of inciting crime against the congressman and mocking him.

The biggest of fuck yous to you today you racist piece of shit.

— Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) August 2, 2019

Are you seriously mocking a member of Congress for having been robbed?

— Avi Bueno (@Avi_Bueno) August 2, 2019

What a worthless ignorant heartless piece of shit you are.

— Andy Roxburgh (@pandyinfrance) August 2, 2019

This is how you act when a Member of Congress like Elijah Cummings is robbed? Like a petulant BRAT?#DearWhitePeople who voted for Obama TWICE, then elected this chump: fuck you very much.

Signed,
Americans who are sick and tired

— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) August 2, 2019

You’re a total piece of shit

— Shugar (@GregShugar) August 2, 2019

You really are an asshole, I wish I never voted for you. I promise I will give it all my energy to make sure you don’t get re-elected.

— David Weissman (@davidmweissman) August 2, 2019

You’re inciting crime against elected officials.

— Frederick Joseph (@FredTJoseph) August 2, 2019

Sir, your desperation is showing. You are not just spewing racist rhetoric. Now you are endorsing and inciting property damage and violence. You may be large in stature, but you are a sad, small, billion dollar loser of a man. I am a proud American who stands with @RepCummings.
