Last week, Kweisi Mfume -- who served as a Democratic member of Congress from 1987-96, and as president of the NAACP from 1996-2004 -- defeated 23 opponents in a special primary to determine who will represent the Democratic Party in the upcoming general election on April 28, when the voters in Maryland’s Seventh Congressional District will pick someone to serve out the remaining months of the late Elijah Cummings’ uncompleted term in the House of Representatives. In his acceptance speech, Mfume dedicated his victory to the memory of his longtime friend, Mr. Cummings: “This is for him. This is for him!”
In light of the fact that the population of District Seven is overwhelmingly Democratic, Mfume’s victory in the general election is all but assured. And that triumph will represent the closing of a circle: Cummings filled Mfume’s vacated congressional seat when Mfume resigned from the House in 1996, and now Mfume, nearly a quarter-century later, has come back to succeed Mr. Cummings in that very same seat. Embracing a political orientation that he describes as “very, very progressive,” Mfume is prepared to promote the same leftist policies that Rep. Cummings advanced for 23 years – policies that helped turn Maryland’s Seventh District into a high-crime, high-poverty basket case.

Haven’t heard of ol’ Kweisi in a dog’s age. Didn’t Rush have some kind of “update” theme for him?
I am sure stuff will get much better now
How old is this old clown?
Wow, as if Elijah Cummings wasn’t bad enough.
What was his indictment for?
Forced out by the NAACP for nepotism and sexual harassment. He’s a perfect Democrat.

An enemy of America.
Don’t be fooled by his claim to be doing it for Elijah. He’s doing it to rebuild his personal wealth.
A leftist radical prepares to replace the late leftist radical Elijah Cummings....................Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.................
I wonder how quick, and permanently, we can make this bazzard go apoplectic?
What was his name back in the nineties???
Didn’t he father a lot of kids out of wedlock?
Looks like the Poverty Pimps are calling the reserves back to the team
Why can't the voting populace of Baltimore have at least one functioning brain cell when it comes to choosing representation who is genuinely intelligent and interested in improving the lives of the citizens instead of their own? They keep favoring and electing race baiting grifter clones, one after the other. And then condemn "Da Man" for "keeping them down". Play stupid voting, win stupid prizes.
Same reason nanzi and mad max are still wracking up the bucks. CONgress.
A wild and kweisi guy.
Frizzell Gerald Grey before Africanization.
Just like Chaka Fattah started out as Arthur Davenport. Or as El Rushbo called him, Chaka-Full-O’-Nuts.
I guess the only question is whether Montgomery, Prince Georges, and Baltimore counties of MD are cesspools or septic tanks...
Still Kweisi After All These Years...
