Democratic lawmakers are condemning President Trump's attacks against House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), calling his Saturday morning remarks "racist" and beneath the office of the presidency.

Trump accused the longtime congressman of being a “brutal bully” and sought to cast Cummings's district — which includes part of Baltimore — as “dangerous” and “disgusting,” claiming that the Maryland city was "corrupt" and that "no human being would want to live there."

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denounced Trump's "racist attacks" against Cummings, praising the representative as a "champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice."

“Democratic lawmakers are condemning President Trump’s attacks against House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), calling his Saturday morning remarks “racist” and beneath the office of the presidency.”

I just love it when Trump says things that are “”racist” and beneath the office of the presidency” - by Rats standards.

Where in the Constitution does it mention "economic justice"?

And "civil rights"? "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are civil rights. Murdered Negroes, killed by other Negroes, in Cummings's district doesn't sound like a recipe for "civil rights". The white man isn't in there killing anybody.

What I should have said is “He’s black AND A DEMOCRAT. Therefore he’s a civil rights champion”.

They can’t argue the premise, can they?

Just more name calling and defection

Baltimore is a mess. Cummings has “represented” for over twenty years. Come on Elijah, face facts for once in your miserable, use- people life

He’s a leader on “economic justice” and the people in his district have nothing. What a pig.
