‘I want him to come’: Elijah Cummings invites President Trump to Baltimore by alexnazaryan
WASHINGTON — In an extended rebuttal to President Trump’s tweets about Baltimore, which were widely condemned as both racist and inaccurate, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., invited the president to tour the city.
The luncheon had been scheduled well before Cumming’s became the latest target of Trump’s tweets and, shortly after that, of the entire conservative media ecosystem. Cummings rarely mentioned Trump by name during his hour-long remarks, but there was hardly any need to do so. At one point, he urged the audience to read a recent op-ed by Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson, who worked as a speech-writer for George W. Bush.
Cummings also addressed the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, which left dozens dead. “We feel your pain. We really do. We feel it,” Cummings said of the shootings’ survivors and the families of the slain. “They’re in pain, and we’re in pain.” But he also did stand by efforts targeted more specifically at the administration, like the hearings on attempts by the Department of Commerce to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Had that attempt succeeded, it would have likely advantaged Republicans in future elections .
