My heart breaks when I think of how Rep. Cummings had to spend some of

[mfcorey1]

his last days fighting off unfounded allegations about him and Baltimore started by that a**hole in the people's house.. There is a special place in hell for donald trump. Rest in peace, Congressman. We will continue your fight.

1. Yes We Will..

RIP~Elijah Cummings

2. 😢

3. Watching CNN is making me cry. Too much sadness and loss.

[Scarsdale]

4. A truly dignified gentleman.

What a contrast between the honorable representative Cummins, and the ignorant, parody of a "man" in the WH. So glad the democratic party elects people with brains, and honesty. The gop just wanted someone in the WH who could sign any bills they sent there. Well, they got him, and made a true mess of not only the government, but the entire country. R.I.P. Elijah Cummins. You will be missed.

15. Well said.

[woodsprite]

16. Trump has made a mess of not only our country, but the world. nt

[WhiskeyWulf]

23. That dignity is what always struck me about him.

He was one of very few politicians that I sincerely liked. I wish more were like him.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. He was the stalwart wall against RW loons like

Issa, Gowdy, and now Gymsuit Jordan.

[orleans]

6. i feel the same way n/t

[dlk]

7. Cummings devoted his life to fighting for justice

He never let petty attacks and hatred change who he was, a man filled with integrity and love, and a warrior for equality. We were so fortunate to have him in our world and his passing is an enormous loss.

8. Too early...very sad

[Vinca]

9. Days like this make you wonder about life in general. The good seem to die too young

while the evil thrive. The loss of Elijah Cummings is a real blow to the good guys.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. That's what I thought too.

The good really do die young. The evil go on to 99. It’s just wrong.

[The Wizard]

10. A sad day for humanity

[Grokenstein]

12. And now we wait

...while the Orange Traitor's minions compose the most unimaginably revolting response possible for Puppet Sharpie to deliver to the cameras, barely concealing his evil glee.

[brooklynite]

14. Why?

[Tanuki]

18. He had aortic valve surgery in May, developed a post-surgery infection in July

(according to Wikipedia), and per other published reports had not been at back to work since another procedure in September and was in hospice care at the time of his death. I do not think there is anything remotely suspicious about this. May he rest in peace.

[StarfishSaver]

31. He's had heart problems for years and has been ill for some time.

[Tarc]

24. We don't do tinfoil around here, bro

[rurallib]

17. Really sad thing is that Trump will see this as a win

and like McCain will still beat on him after he is dead.

My gawd, trump is just a horror of a human.

[bdamomma]

35. oh that vile man

will and of course he will delegate someone else to go to the funeral. Ivanka and Jared like they give two cents about Representative Cummings.

[democrank]

19. One of the very, very best

[peacebuzzard]

38. indeed.

[gordianot]

20. Trump attacks are really a high honor.

Proof positive you are on the right side of history. Cummings mere existence was enough to infuriate a tyrant. I loathe mentioning Elijah Cummings name and Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Cummings stood against the purest evil this nation has experienced since the days of slavery.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. 🌟. n/t

[Hortensis]

25. +1000. Cummings was a real pro. Trump couldn't hurt him,

but he hurt Trump. A lot. As chair of the oversight committee, he undoubtedly deeply regretted that he wouldn't personally be around to finish the job of restoring principle and competent liberal function to government.

Rep. Elijah Cummings: We are in a fight for the soul of our democracy. And you've got to understand that. This is serious business.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Hell is too good for the Asshole-in-Chief.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Mike 03]

27. It is sad and infuriating what he was subjected to.

But people will remember, and actions have consequences.

[Joe941]

28. I just wish he could have seen the day we remove tRump from office!

[StarfishSaver]

32. He will.

[tblue37]

29. What a terrible loss for our country. nt

[blm]

30. Same here

[bdamomma]

33. we will continue his fight

I have tears in my eyes.

Only the good die young.

[Aristus]

34. I just called his office in Washington, D.C. to offer my condolences.

I burst into tears halfway through. I couldn't help it. The young man taking my call sounded very subdued. They must be devastated...

[mfcorey1]

36. For all who wish to do so.........[phone]

[bdamomma]

37. that's a heartfelt

gesture that you did. I may do the same. I'm not a constituent but he will be sorely missed.
