I don't know the guy. I cannot judge his loveability rating.
However it seems clear by his actions that hie was a racist and black was perfect and White is BAD.
So now the GOP politicians will call him a great guy as he pushed for agendas that would destroy Americans and America. It just shows me the DC bubble exists and their are too many actors and politicians elected instead of Americans.
Trump should have had a camera crew and an Emmy award waiting for Pelosi at the exir, when she walked out of the meeting.  The category would be the only question. Drama? Comedy? Maybe a Tony award for best song and dance.

Politicians reminf me og Purchasing Agents that are on the take. They think everyone loves them because they are showered with praise and gifts. Then the only ones that shoe up to their retirement parties and funerals are the ones that do not want the new replacement to know that it was all an act and will be again if they act the same.

Cummings is gone and most Americans could really care less or are at least not displeased.

Its not a theory, its a fact, coupled with pragmatism, we are always better off with out screaming commies, but the fact is, that is who is up and coming in these DEM cotrolled area's.  Just a few decades ago, the DEMS hid who they were, Look at AOC, Omar Etc, they aren't hiding what they are.  You can bet whomsoever takes Elijah's place will be FAAAARRRRR Worse and they'll be in office for decades, unless something drastic happens in Baltimore

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., will take the place of deceased former chairman Elijah Cummings on the powerful House Oversight Committee, according to reports on Thursday.

Multiple outlets and reporters cite a senior Democratic leadership aide who said that House rules dictate that Maloney will take over as acting chair due to her seniority on the committee and that the Democrats' choice of a permanent replacement will be announced at a to-be-determined date and time.

Maloney was first elected to Congress in 1992 and represents New York's 12th Congressional District, which covers part of Manhattan and Queens in New York city.

Cummings, a longtime Baltimore-area representative, passed away during the early hours of Thursday at Gilchrist Hospice Care, an affiliate of Johns Hopkins Hospital, due to "complications concerning longstanding health challenges" at the age of 68.

She is more leftist than her predecessor. Not that it really matters, the Dim party is dead, this is just another nail in their coffin. They just keep moving further left, if that's even possible.

In his defense Ackbar could recognize any trap directly to the left, or to the right.

The fact he would fail to see any right under his nose is due to his ocular placement.

An excuse that Cummings never had.

But that's ok. Elijah got by on his looks. Or more accurately, his skin tone.
