You can bet the house that his wife will succeed him. She’s not going to let their gravy train go that easily. After all, they became millionaires representing that district.

I hope this doesn’t stop any investigation into his corrupt activities.

Depending on his cause of death, and what he was doing when he took ill, maybe they should start with his demise.

His widow was a bottomless sink for the illegal appropriation of federal grant slush funds, much of it siphoned off from the Community Cummings represented, Baltimore.

Only way he was going to leave that office. As crooked as the day is long. No, I have nothing nice to say.

Who takes over his Chairmanship?

Probably Satan himself.

An afterthought:

Perhaps with the help of PDJT, Cummings’ Congressional seat can be flipped to a Republican, so that the rat infested City of Baltimore can be great again.

When I heard this, my first thought was to pray that before the end, he sincerely repented and asked for forgiveness for his corruption.

He got healthcare that is not available to us, the finest in the world, and yet he died at 68, so yes, without more information this death is questionable .

At first, I thought this was a hoax, but it appears to be true. Just the other week, he was supposedly giving a “fiery” speech on the House floor. Unless we’re talking about a monster, I always wish the dead to RIP.

That being said, I was getting more than a little tired of this guy.
