I did not like him, not one little bit.

[funfan]

Now that would be great.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Has the widow been indicted?

[elpadre]

I remember Cummings very well. I remember that his words and actions made it clear he hated the white race. That makes him a racist - a black racist. Any argument??

[morphing libertarian]

I am in soCal so we suffer thru her now and then.

[elpadre]

half the whites in the south are grand-sons of sharecroppers, maybe more than half..

[Bonemaker]

That would be me. Paternal grandparents born during Reconstruction and eked out a living off the land in Kentucky. Poor as church mice til their dying day.

[elpadre]

my paternal forefathers came from Ireland as indentured servants to the mountains of Virginia.

Great alright, the greatest piece of racist garbage ever to pollute Capitol Hill.

One of the biggest scumbags EVER..destroyed Baltimore, didnt give a rats ass about his city and only showed up when it was election time..basically the male version of Maxine Waters
...........................................
Well and truly said, and every word of it!

Wishing well for the dead. But it is very telling that he is considered a great one, given how little he accomplished. But compared to some others who get elected through racial gerrymandering, he probably was great.

The swamp monsters love their Swamp Rats.

[Vinnie]

Give me a break! A stupid crook. Only amassed $1.3mil legacy.
Bet that doesn’t include family members that got in on the goodies though.

[Bonemaker]

Same here but from Ulster in the early 1700’s.

[Doc91678]

Sorry..., But I call them the way I see them. Cummings began his career with honest intentions but sold out to the Democrats as can be seen by the state of disrepair of Baltimore and in the end sold out his own people.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Did you see thousands of African-Americans paying their respect to Democrat, Low Life, Racist, Elijah Cummings....nope just the thugs and criminals from the Congressional Black Caucus!! Why you ask? Because that S.O.B., Cummings screwed the Black Americans of Baltimore, Maryland from A-Z...period!!! End of story!!! Like Traitor, John McCain, Elijah Cummings got no respect from American blacks and the average Jane & Joe American!!! He got exactly what he deserved!!!

[NorthMountain]

He was an evil man.

I sat behind Elijah Cummings in a movie theater one time years ago, for a Will Smith comedy. The seating was on a steep incline, so his head was below me at my knuckle level as I gripped the armrests, suppressing sinful anti-Democrat thoughts while waiting for the movie to begin.

Suddenly an adolescent black kid took the seat next to me (an advanced-middle-aged white lady.) Seeing Cummings, the kid nudged me, pointed at the fat roll on the back of Cummings' head, and whispered, "Uncle Phil!" (a character on Will Smith's TV comedy Fresh Prince of BelAir). We both hid titters behind our hands. A wonderful American moment!

"Uncle Phil," played by prolific film and TV actor James Avery, 1945 - 2013,
a USNavy veteran of the Vietnam War.
