Rep. Elijah Cummings’s funeral Friday, marked by speeches from Barack Obama, the Clintons, and Cummings’s family, was as much a heartfelt celebration of a man who dedicated his life to public service as it was an indictment of President Donald Trump’s character in office.
In his last months, Cummings, who chaired the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform — one of the committees carrying out the impeachment inquiry into Trump —became the subject of Trump’s ire. Trump called Cummings a “brutal bully” in July and derided the Congress member’s Baltimore district as the “worst in the USA,” a “rat and rodent infested mess,” and a “dangerous & filthy place.” That incident was well-remembered Friday.
“He had to go on to actually work to fight for the soul of our democracy against very real corruption,” Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, the Maryland Democrat’s widow, said at New Psalmist Baptist Church. “I want you all to know that it was not easy. What Chairman Cummings did was not easy. And it got infinitely more difficult in the last month of his life, when he sustained personal attacks and attacks on his beloved city.”

The man is lying in hate.
Couldn’t just lie and praise Cummings as a great man and leave it at that...
Vox?
Powerful?
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.
Like McCain his funeral was on its face an indictment of the dead and buried man.
Wellstone 2.0
Dems have been politicizing funerals since Wellstone, probably before. They have no class, no honor, no dignity.
The event featured Maya Rockeymoore Cummings in her skin-tone ankle monitor. /sarc
Public hangings for all!
The Left loves turning a funeral into a political rally. Very disrespectful to the deceased.
More distraction from the main news: Barr and Durham criminal investigations into the origin of Russiagate.
A new saint was declared by the Democrats just because he’s dead and he hated Trump. Now that he’s gone for good, we get to remember him as he never was—a strong, self-sacrificing leader whom Jesus himself would be honored to kiss his boot. Now vote for the Democrat or your choice.
So someone like Trump has the courage (in contrast to anyone in the Bush family) to point out what’s appallingly happened to somewhere like Baltimore and demanded answers from someone like Cummings. But that is called “personal attacks and attacks on his beloved city” in Media Party speak.
Except that Baltimore actually IS a dump.
I wouldn’t walk more than a block off the Inner Harbor.
So even in death, the hate continues. NOT surprised.
Odd, and here I thought they were at a funeral, not a Democrat Pep rally, what the filled juvenile losers.
Never let a good death go unused
Decent people try their best to honor and respect the deceased even if we didn’t care for the person, but it seems to some it’s just, “screw them they’re dead, how can we play this politically?”.
The guy was an immoral bastard at the very least. It’s amazing to watch the phony ass democrats trying to make him out to be a saint. What a joke
