Rep. Elijah Cummings

[Aglaopheme]

Tragic news Elijah Cummings has passed away.

It is with great sadness and a heavy collective heart that we announce the passing of Chairman Elijah Eugene Cummings. He was a father, a husband, a son of Baltimore, and a Statesman who served Maryland’s 7th Congressional District for more than 20 years, and served 16 years prior to that as a Delegate in the Maryland General Assembly.

Chairman Cummings will always be remembered for dedicating his life’s work to improving the lives of others, standing up for his community, and protecting our Democracy.
“Congressman Cummings was an honorable man who proudly served his district and the nation with dignity, integrity, compassion and humility. He worked until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and that our nation’s diversity was our promise, not our problem. It’s been an honor to walk by his side on this incredible journey. I loved him deeply and will miss him dearly.” Maryland Democratic Party Chair Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings said.
Our hearts are broken over the loss of such a dynamic figure in American politics. And we ask the public and the press to allow Maryland Democratic Party Chair Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings — and the rest of the Cummings family — time and space to grieve their loss

I wonder if President Trump will attend Rep. Cummings' funeral.

 

[seeshelly]

Too bad

Death is tragic. He was a very disturbed man. Now he is at rest. Of course he has a reputation of being a very corrupt man. But none of us know all the facts of these political figures and when death swallows them up it demonstrates that the power they accumulate doesn't do them any good in the end.

 

[Kantarii]

Don’t hold your breath for Trump to attend his funeral.

 

[Aglaopheme]

This is our watch~ Chairman Cummings

 

[Rightguide]

I wonder if President Trump will attend Rep. Cummings' funeral.

Cummings hated the President, so the following amount of graciousness from the President is more than he would have expected,“warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader.”

 

[HisArpy]

Condolences for the family.

 

[Wrong Element]

Cummings's wife is the chair of the state Democratic Party? Maryland gonna Maryland. LOL.

In all seriousness, that's a tough job anyway, and the ranking member of Oversight is maybe the biggest asshole in the entire House, which made it even tougher. He will be missed.

I guess Carolyn Maloney is the new Oversight chair? Another woman to trigger Trump.

 

[phrodeau]

I wonder if President Trump will attend Rep. Cummings' funeral.

My guess is that the family would prefer he didn’t.

He obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Howard University, serving as Student Government President and graduating Phi Beta Kappa, and then graduated from the University of Maryland School of Law. Congressman Cummings has also received 13 honorary doctoral degrees from Universities throughout the nation.

Congressman Cummings has dedicated his life of service to uplifting and empowering the people he is sworn to represent. He began his career of public service in the Maryland House of Delegates, where he served for 14 years and became the first African American in Maryland history to be named Speaker Pro Tem. Since 1996, Congressman Cummings has proudly represented Maryland’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congressman Cummings often says that our children are the living messages that we send to a future we will never see. In that vein, he is committed to ensuring that our next generation has access to quality healthcare and education, clean air and water, and a strong economy defined by fiscal responsibility.

He could easily bring a tear to my eye when he spoke. It was often about creating a better future.

It’s a hard hit to lose someone so dedicated to voter’s rights.

I saw this on another site this morning, "As a Marylander I look at that article and wonder if it is speaking about the same Congressman who represented the State. What "accomplishments" in the name of legal citizens? Grossly partisan representation and ill advised actions make his record complete and now gratefully finished."

President Trump had different priorities this morning, re-tweeting Gym Jordan's nonsense proposals.

Yeah, like Trump actually wrote that.

I find myself wondering the same thing.

The wife of House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings used her charity to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into her private LLC, according to new documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Maya Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity receives funding from organizations with interests before her husband’s congressional committee.

Multiple charity watchdogs said the previously undisclosed financial arrangement between Rockeymoore Cummings’s charity and for-profit company raises red flags.

Democrat Leader Elijah Cummings Could Face Up to Five Years in Prison for Illegal Attacks on True the Vote–

Last April House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) released a report implicating Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) in colluding with the IRS and Lois Lerner against the nonpartisan voters rights group “True the Vote.”

Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder of “True the Vote,” testified before Congress in February.
She was targeted by FBI, IRS, ATF, and OSHA after she filed for tax exempt status for her voters rights group.

Maya Rockeymoore, the wife of corrupt Democrat criminal douchebag Elijah Cummings is refusing to hand over documents that will show the crimes of herself and Rep. Cummings in a huge multi-million dollar pay to play scandal that should cause Rep Cummings to be removed from Congress.]

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yeah, like Trump actually wrote that.

Not unlike the tweet purportedly from him the other day that used the word "excoriated".

 

[Rightguide]

Yeah, like Trump actually wrote that.

Reportedly his tweet.

 

[Dazzle1]

Tragic news Elijah Cummings has passed away.

He was not an admirable human being in the last decade

 

[Adre]

Reportedly his tweet.

Right, and next he’ll tweet The Gettysburg Address.

 

[Rightguide]

Right, and next he’ll tweet The Gettysburg Address.

So what is your point? Did he tweet it or not?

 

[Rightguide]

The unasked question is, was Mr. Cummings, as sick as his associates now say he was, physically fit enough to be the Chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee?

exactly... he may have physically 'tweeted' it, or had someone do it for him, but we've seen the 'real' d.t's way with words and those are not his. someone clearly making sure a suitably presidential 'tweet' was sent out. lord only knows what he would have posted otherwise.

 

[butters]

what IS heartwarming is—as with the death of john mcain—the respect for this man is apparent on both sides of the political aisle, by long-term career politicians. that speaks a lot to a man's character.

 

[DeluxAuto]

He was not an admirable human being in the last decade

Neither has Trump been but you'll vote for him again

But you don't know he didn't post it himself, or that the words aren't his. Because you hate him so much you simply project he lacks the ability to compose a compassionate missive.
