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.”

All of this praise For these black crook guys is merely white guilt for slavery that they’ve been taught they need to give back to black people since Dave never really known or had friends that were black they are just like liberals in this way
So they turned hes funeral into Paul Wellstone Part Deux?
Fortunately with these black crook demoncats who have lied stolen and cheated for years , we only have a couple left and we’re actually in the 60s whom can claim any kind of tgecreal civil rights battle
now all we got is the 80s guys like booker who are just basically street thug’s and have no claim of the civil rights era
In other words we won’t have to sit through any of these lavish praise for any of these guys much longer
“He had to go on to actually work to fight for the soul of our democracy against very real corruption,”
Did she say that with a straight face.
Nobody puts on StaliNazi funerallys like Derp State Demonrats and RINOs.
I made that mistake in the ‘90s. Thugs were dealing drugs right in front of City Hall.
After a little research, I found that the pallbearer, one Bobby Rankin, a friend of the Corpse of the Day, has a page and a half of criminal offenses listed on Maryland Judiciary Case Search. The big shaved-head male negro was born in 1955 making him just a few years younger than the lizard Elijah. None of the offenses are earthshaking. A bunch of small thefts. A few forgery charges. Most of them in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
I see whut you did there.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
That guy has dookie spots on his face.
0bama broke wind at an inoppurtune time for the young fella.
Just heard a clip of slick willie saying that cummings always treated folks the way he wanted to be treated. Uh, WUT? So he wanted to be talked to hatefully and treated with a nasty attitude? Who knew?
Gotta hate when that happens... or maybe not ?
They will. Death and taxes and all.
Those who spoke and those who agree are those that were in on his criminal activities
Did anyone check to see if a stake had been driven through his heart?
Their just following the mantra - “never let crisis go to waste”.
And of course a Democrat manufactured crisis here and there can’t hurt the left wing agenda either -
The anti-Wellstone hatefest du jour.
Coretta Scott King’s funeral was another example of the Democrats politicizing funerals.
