Joe Biden Jumps to Defend Elijah Cummings After Trump Criticism
Breitbart ^ | 27 July 2019 | Harris Alic

Posted on 07/27/2019 6:43:50 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Former Vice President Joe Biden jumped to defend Rep. Elijah Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee after President Donald Trump criticized the congressman as a “brutal bully” on Saturday.

“Rep Cummings is one of the finest people I’ve ever served with,” Biden wrote on social media. “It is despicable for you to attack him and the people of Baltimore this way. Once again you have proved yourself unfit to hold the office. A President is supposed to lift this nation up. Not tear it down”:

The former vice president’s tweet came shortly after Trump, himself, had taken to social media to lambast Cummings for his treatment of Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan on Friday. Cummings had grilled the secretary for the way his department was looking after migrant children detained for crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.

“You feel like you’re doing a great job, right? Is that what you’re saying?” Cummings asked McAleenan during a committee hearing. When the secretary responded that his department was doing its “level best,” Cummings exploded.

Biden has low standards - like the rest of his party.

February 22, 2018 A USA Today article named Baltimore as the country's most dangerous city based on statistics from 2017. While many other major cities saw a decrease in crime, Baltimore's numbers went up. Baltimore's 341 homicides last year amounted to more than what cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago saw.


This is fine.

This is what you get when you keep electing people that do not give a damn about you or your city. And the ignorant and stupid just keep doing it.

President Trump is right, its about the millions Cummings has spent on his cronies but not much on infrastructure. Yep, Baltimore is rat infested.

The good parts are not Elijah’s district. Although he probably doesn’t even live in his own district like Marxine Waters.

Sorry Uncle Joe (Stalin) Biden. Cummings district is still a shithole.

Go take your entourage there along with Elijah.

Oh, but sorry, I don’t think he’ll accompany you. He KNOWS what a shithole his district is.

Right up there with segregationist Senators James Eastland (D-MS) and Herman Talmadge (D-GA), eh, Joe?
