Elijah Cummings is a far-left Democratic congressmen from Maryland's 7th district. When baited by ABC's Jonathan Carl to call President Trump racist, Cummings declined.
7th district
Bernie Sanders said of West Baltimore:
Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace.[2]
Sanders further added, "anyone who took the walk that we took around this Baltimore neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation, you'd think that you were in a Third World country”.[3]
Baltimore Deputy Police Chief was robbed at gunpoint.[4] By mid 2019 the city of Baltimore and Cumming's district was a rat infested dump with 180 homicides.[5]. Baltimore is so infested with rodents the Baltimore Sun published a map of rat hot spot map.[6][7] Speaker Nancy Pelosi white-flighted from Baltimore in 1962.[8][9]
Obama IRS scandal
During President Obama's IRS scandal, Cummings attacked the Texas True the Vote organization in a letter. He wrote that “some have suggested that your true goal is not voter integrity, but voter suppression against thousands of legitimate voters who traditionally vote for Democratic candidates.” He added that: “If these efforts are intentional, politically motivated, and widespread across multiple states, they could amount to a criminal conspiracy to deny legitimate voters their constitutional rights.” He also decried True the Vote on MSNBC and CNN.
True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht said she believes that because she worked against voter fraud, she was targeted.
The Engelbrechts continued receiving harassment by the Obama administration and after three years their non profit status remained unapproved.[10]
