welcome, ma am, good to have you here to talk about numerous things. first of all, what do you think about the president s tweet about elijah cummings? it just shows that trump will never have the kind of grace and dignity of someone like the stature of elijah cummings has. i m not surprised by these tweets anymore, and i ve been talking quietly with my republican colleagues. are my republican colleagues going to stand up and say this is outrageous to attack in what, again, is another racist attack on a black chairman with a majority black district. let s be very clear, alex, these tweets are not just offensive. they actually undermine all of the progress that the united states has been trying to make on equality and justice. it affects the economic opportunities for black and brown people across the country.
