elijah cummings. and i ll read it for you. president trump said my warmest condolences to the family and many friends of congressman elijah cummings. i got to see firsthand the strength, passion and wisdom from this highly respected political leader. his work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible to replace. very nice words for the president, especially given the fact that the last time we saw a tweet from the president about elijah cummings, it was very different. and it was not that long ago where he was going after the congressman and his city which he represented baltimore as being, you know, rat infested and worse. so that is the president. a very nice tweet from the president about elijah cummings. and elijah cummings wife also put out a statement. this is from maya rocky-moore cummings, the chairman of the maryland democratic party.
