Rep. Elijah Cummings (D) Gives Media Pep Talk: ‘This Is Your Moment...We Cannot Afford to Lose This One’
2017-05-20
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] While speaking to news hounds Friday morning at the U.S. Capitol, liberal Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings
...Representative-for-life from Maryland, representing half of Baltimore City, which makes his district ultra-safe, and most of Howard County, which is out-populated by the city. Cummings' politix are so liberal they're tedious...
(Md.) gave his fellow lefties a pep talk and marching orders, telling them that "this is your moment" and "we cannot afford to lose" this fight for America (against President Trump and his supporters).

Cummings spoke following a briefing from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on the firing of FBI Director James Comey and, prior to his mini-speech, complained about the firing having "turned into a mess" and applauded Robert Mueller’s appointment as special counsel on the Russia investigation.


He thanked news hounds and began walking away, but turned back to the media stakeout to inform his fans that "if there is any moment that the press in our country's history has a major role, it is this moment."

"This is your moment. You have got to put it out there so people can understand what is going on. I have said it before and I'll say it again, this is about the fight for the soul of our democracy. We cannot afford to lose this one. Thank you very much," Cummings concluded.

#7  Elijah at war with the American people?

For the Left, politics is just an extension of war. There can be only one.

#6  Oh man, I don't like this. It looks like they're clearly building up to something. I hope to God it's not a coup while Trump is abroad.

They will die in heaps if they do. It will be Civil War and the people with the guns (aka the right and the military) won't put up with their bullshit attempt.
