Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life."

CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life....

So why the social justice they want to push so much then?

Everybody just needs to accept ‘a part of life’ and (quote) “learn from this” (unquote).

King David said the same thing when he was told that his servant, Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, was killed in battle...

In that case he should have no objection to the state performing executions. It is just part of life, you know...

I’m so VERY SURE Mr. Cummings uttered the same sentiments when Obama’s “son” Trayvon Martin was killed.

does unRep. Elijah Cummings feel the same way about the deaths in Boston or Newtown? How did this country fall so far that it has “Representatives” like this?

God help us!

It seems the democrats would rather believe the testimony of men who were not there and would lie to protect the guilty than believe men who were there and were lucky to survive.

Cummings was a disgrace from the moment he opened his illiterate mouth, and the rest are no better. His words “death is a part of life and we must make life a part of death. Blatant stupidity.

Rep Maloney was demonic in her defense of Clinton and Rep Issa cut her off at the knees which had me applauding. She sat there with her mouth hanging open and her eyes bulging. I LOL.

It seems like the dems are falling more on media reporting than actual fact. They look like the demonic fools they are. They are trying to save Clinton so she can run in 2016.

Hopefully he’ll remember the shame of that utterance when one of his loved ones dies.

Party before country. That sums up the Democratic Party in a nutshell and we’re supposed to find common ground with this crowd?

IN A NUTSHELL!

The Dem party is reprehensible.

Cummings is a stupid old man and has been for years. Before that, he was just stupid.

I watched that sorry dung heap this morning.
He kept saying he respected the Whistleblowers, but in effect he called them liars. Later they brought forth another slice of the same dung Cumming is when they had Eleanor Holmes Norton make her appearance.

Cummings said in so many words that he had already listened to Hillary and knew the truth, it was a waste of his time listening to these fellows. but he respected them. What a fool. Fool?? No Tool.

Is being dragged into the streets and sodomized by a mob part of “life”?

Natural death is part of the normal cycle of life but no one would say such a thing even upon the passing of an elderly relative.

Murder by jihadi abetted by Obamaccomplicity is anything but.

Elijah Cummings, Major Owen, John Conyers, James Clyburn, Alcee Hastings, Jesse Jackson Jr.....is there a pattern here?

I accused Elijah of having a single digit I.Q. here yesterday. Another FReeper corrected me that it was a lot lower than that. That FReeper was right. It’s morons like Cummings who have America falling apart at the seams. To save this country, we are going to have to convince voters that they need to THINK before they vote!

Delightful. And we get it on video, to replay it over and over. Thankful for his arrogant stupidity—he thinks he can get away with anything because he’s black.

all we heard form the left was innocent lives being lost but when their messiah goes and starts a war in Libya which had nothing to do with us ten all is OK and even if some Americans die ten so be it.

I frigging hate these cowardly scumbags and their hypocrisy
