CUMMINGS ends it with this: "When we're dancing w/the angels the question will be asked, 'in 2019 what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy? Did we stand on the sidelines and say nothing?'... we have got to get back to normal. And with that, this meeting is adjourned."

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.

in this fight for our country and then we lose a giant of a man like Rep Cummings. This is a huge loss for America.
My condolences to his family.
