House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said on ABC's "This Week" that there's "no doubt" that President Trump is a racist, and that for the first time in his 37 years in public service, he has constituents telling him that they're "scared of their leader." CUMMINGS: "George, no matter where I go, what I'm hearing over and over again from my constituents is, "Please save our democracy. Please save our country." And you know something else they say, George? They say "I'm scared." I have never, in my total of 37 years in public service, ever heard a constituent say they were scared of their leader."

Oh dear Elijah, there are also constituents who are "scared" of aliens stealing their breakfast cereal.
Get a grip, man.

Actually, ol' 'Lijah speaks the truth here. His district is full of loons, snowflakes and plain scardycats, mainly madly liberal women, people of color and low testosterone males. I deal with these fools every day.

The Democrats are scared. The Democrats have tried to overthrow the POTUS, and a reckoning is coming. Mueller is gone. Now, it is the AG and IG that is investigating them. The shoe is on the other foot. And the electorate knows what the Democrats are, and what they have done. There will be a reckoning. It has been slow, but there will be a climax before the next election, as all documents are released, the investigations completed, the indictments released. The Democrats have nothing but their misery, hatred, corruption, and socialism, and that don't sell.

Cummings should remind them (hasn't he heard this at least 1000 times in the last 6 months?) that we live in a republic.

They're scared of the cops too. Funny that I would be scared to live among people who think that way.

So DJT is a racist because Elijah says so, or is there actually any real evidence of the charge?

Tiresome racist crap. This is all they have left. If this is the Left's only hope of getting back in power, then they should pack up their bags and go home or get on board the Trump Express, and that goes for all Republicans as well. Just stop and think about how much Trump has changed politics. What happens after he's done, unless we give him a third term, LOL!

Typical for a Maryland Democrat. I live here because I have to, not because of the politics in this state.

I was terrified when Hussein the Horrible ran stuff. And Slick and The Beast. I am terrified when I have to drive or go to a mall or a supermarket.

This is a preemptive move on Cummings part, so that when Mrs. Cummings is indicted, they can repeat the fake racism charge.
(I have to give John Conyers credit for not claiming racism when Marcia Conyers was convicted of corruption and sent to federal prison.)

What a load of nonsense. They make up garbage all the time and think they will get away with it. Sorry but most people are on to the "I'm scared of Trump" "Trump is a racist" "there is racism everywhere" just pure nonsense.

I knew what a lying idiot he was when he gave a speech, and stated that the democrats passed the civil rights bill with no help from Republicans.

Must be the reason why his wife always gets away with one of her corruptions. They are all hiding in the cellar whilst his missus is busy enriching herself!

Most of Cummings district is in the city of Baltimore. In the past 4 years over 300 people have been murdered in each year and 2019 is on tract for another 300. I am sure they are afraid of getting killed. I am sure they are afraid to go downtown to Harbor Place when the “yutes” of the city run wild in area by tying up traffic and stomping on cars as they go from one area to the next. I am pretty sure they might be scared of the squeegee kids who will damage your car if you don’t want them to clean your windshield. President Trump has nothing to do with any of this.

Elijah, if you stop lying to them, they'll stop being "scared". But then they wouldn't be so easy to manipulate. They might even vote for someone else. That wouldn't do. would it Elijah/

Were the inner city intellectuals asked why they are scared of Trump? My guess is they've been lied to by liberals for so long, they don't know the truth. I also suspect, that even if they were presented with the truth, they wouldn't believe it.

Idiot obviously never listens to anyone but leftists. I know a lot of people who said that Obama scared them when he took the constitution and shredded it with his pen and his proclivity for unilateral law making by the Administration.

#19 - You might want to look at the MD Congressional District map and election results again. Elijah covers highly populated areas from such as Howard and Baltimore Counties, as well as part of the City of Baltimore. These suburban counties delivered 160,000 of Cummings' total of 260,000 votes. His rubbish plays well among MD's very liberal suburban population. If no one in Baltimore City voted for him, he'd only have won by 54,000...that's how deeply blue the core population of this state is.

He always reminds me of a giant talking pile of poop. Meanwhile back at the taxpayers' trough Elijah's nasty trophy wife is siphoning off millions through her phony foundations into her greedy pockets and don't fool your self for a single second that Elijah, the long time democrat communist party ghetto plantation overseer, doesn't know what his wife has been up to.
Like I said a giant walking, talking pile of communist, racist, thieving poop.

Funny thing, Elijah. I’m scared to death of going to Baltimore, a once great city. We took a wrong turn leaving the airport a while back and I couldn’t believe how awful Charles St. and north was.
I thought it had a revival going when the Inner Harbor was the coolest place to go.
When their mayor told the police to let them burn down the CVS and environs, I knew it was past salvageable. Thank the democrats!

His constituents are probably a lot more afraid of being murdered by their neighbors.

37 years in public service is his real problem. When you lose touch with the outside world things can get really scary. Out here it is known as "growth."

Recently, I spoke with a lady about her husband's previous job at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. When walking to and from the building, don't be on your cell phone. It could be easily stolen and it's important to be alert to your surroundings. When driving and needing to wait for a red light to turn green, leave about 15-20 feet in front of you. That way, you can drive yourself out of harm's way if someone approaches your car.

"37 years in public service" Not exactly. More like on the government dole. Washington was never meant to be a permanent address.
Nancy begged them to make her Speaker and she promised term limits in return. Like that is happening.

Isn't he the guy screaming, "They're coming for your children"? No wonder they are scared. Sort of like, "of course, you're an orphan. You killed your parents."
