His passion for this country and execution of his will was truly, truly, truly, truly nothing short of climatic. Like his namesake.
What like stealing MILLIONS from the city of Baltimore?
@@allennelson7390 I'm not too much into this political mumbo-jumbo. Just wanted to make a light joke in the situation.
Rest in peace Sir
Gone but not forgotten! R.I.P
*RIP MR CUMMINGS!! I'M SO SAD YOU LEFT US SO EARLY!! GOD BLESS YOU AND KNOW YOU WERE LOVED AROUND THIS NATION!! (UTAH)*
"When we're dancing with the angels, the question we'll be asked: In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?" Cummings said. "Did we stand on the sidelines and say nothing?"
No, we will raise our voices, like Cummings did!
Rest in power, Mr. Cummings!
Steven Prime 🖕you troll.
@@Michael45007 why are you trying to put words in his mouth?
@@g.e.o.r.g.e... he didn't put words in anyone's mouth he made the point that a Republic needs some form of Democracy. How else does Congress get elected?
@@elchucofried5683 they apparently get elected on racial grievance culture... at least in the "urban" districts.
@@g.e.o.r.g.e... that's your opinion. Thats like me saying the rural areas are just out of touch with The United States of America as whole.
Your voice and passion will be sorely missed. Rest in peace.
It’s a shame he died at a young age, he could have lived longer.
It’s not like he could’ve controlled that
68 pretty old
@@JG-vo3mh I think he could have, it sounds like heart disease which is preventable and reversible with diet
K Ybarra 68 isn’t that old when you consider that the average life expectancy is 80 years old.
@@TheLiamster its young if your 65 but is old if you are 20. The point is it was likely preventable and due to life style choices
Rest In Peace
Nicely done he was quite a man and an even better example
Liz ZYYC65 you mean a good example on how to not run a state cause he promised to clean Baltimore but it only got worse
Kuruma Uzamaki Nope!! Move on Troll no interest in your falsehoods here
It's a great loss.
A great American. R.I.P. The best way to honor him and his memory is to vote and be active in local, state and national elections. And to speak out!
God bless you Elijah cummings. You will be dearly missed 😔❤
@Jeff Gray baby you finna burn ‼
He signed subpoenas on his deathbed.
This man was a hero.
WRONG.
@@allennelson7390 explain why
watman easy have you seen Baltimore he was in charge of that city promised to do everything to help clean it up and did absolutely nothing to help
Great man - I always thought he was older than 68.
No he was a corrupt politician.
@@deweycox6511 sweet heart did you mean Donald Trump?
black do crack lol he looks old cause of drugs
My heart dropped when I heard the news. I of course was in doubt but it hit me with grief and realization when I saw the broadcast for myself.
Rest in peace Cummings. Rest in knowing that we will not allow this country to crumble.
RIP Elijah Cummings Hope he knows he left this world a better place by him being a decent, respectable human being! Mr Cummings was a good man🙏
My condolences to his family and the nation, because we have lost a great man. RIP Mr. Cummings
He'll be missed but not forgotten.
Rest In Love and condolence to your family
He was a great and honest man. May he rest in peace. :(
Oh no. I'm Australian and this makes me sad. Watching him in recent years helped make me feel there was hope still for the United States. Your country has lost a great man. RIP
@James S socialist ideas? Like universal healthcare? I did say I was australian, we actually have universal healthcare, my son was run over by a truck a few years ago, almost lost his leg, he got top quality healthcare, 5 months in hospital and then homecare, I dont have private health insurance and I guess if we were in America he would have lost his leg and I'd be bankrupt so if universal healthcare is evil I say bring it...
A great man? you should visit Baltimore. He may have been a "great man" in his younger day but as soon as he became a political fat cat, he's don nothing but get rich at the expense of his constituents. this clip flatteredh im
RIP brother, RIP
RIP Rep. Cummings. You will be missed.
RIP
Great Men That Gave Me Peace Knowing That Not All Government Was Lost RIP.
May he Rest In Peace ☮️
Mr. Cummings we thank you deeply for your tremendous impact and influence in America. I love and appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. I will never stop fighting for equality and everything that is just. Thank you for shining a courageous and deeply needed light in America. You are a mentor to all of us. 🙏
This clip you have put together shows him in a shining light. He was on of the most corrupt politicians in our lifetime. Dead or alive I'll never forget that.
If a heaven exists this wonderful man will be there.
😩😩😩💔💔💔💔
I never really believed in him or agreed with most of his decisions but he does deserve respect for morality. Rest in peace
Thank you for being respectful! These are the kinds of comments we need from people who didn't see eye to eye with him. Still, respect for a human life. I so appreciate this.

Rest in power!
A Hero a men of Honor a men of the People may God bless his family and we thank him for blessing this world with this great great public servant
(R.I.P) 🙏his legacy will live through all of us.
😭😭😭RIP
Wow that's sad I recently saw him speak only 4 months ago on a issue and now he is gone that's tough.... R.I.P
Truly amazing man has bite the dust :( he will be sorely missed. It broke my heart that our country has lost such a great man. He's a true patriot nothing like that man in the wh.
Didn’t agree with everything he said but he held on to his convictions.
RIP good sir
When were they trying to stop people from voting? It seemed like he was talking about recently, not the 60s. Noone has tried to stop US citizens from voting for over 50 years. And requiring ID is not preventing people from voting if thats what he was yelling about.
TwoStage 45 .....the repeal of mlks voting rights act was during the Bush/Obama administrations. You shouldn't need an id to vote. Im a citizen with or without one. Asking for everyone's papers is very totalitarian.
But if you don't have a way to show you are a citizen we run into issues, especially with the current democratic candidates doing campaigning in mexico???. Other countries (like Russia) could fly people over to vote, just to influence our election then fly them back. Every adult should have an Id and be registered to vote. Either show ID or input your voter registration number. The idea that minorities don't have ID is racist in itself. It's not like the SS asking for papers to see if you are jewish and toss you in a death camp.
Good.
You are poison
The title could be better. Dead at 68? How about passed away at 68?
R we just gonna ignore the cute little thumbnail? ❤️
Sad news, I felt sad
Truly sad.
All the while these hateful men that we can do without live well into their 80s!!
Some measure of truth in that saying that "only the good die young"
Yarona1 100% 😪
I felt that I could not let Elijah Cummings' death go by without my own comment. He will be sorely missed. He was a man of integrity, not a politician, and he fought a hard fight just to be accepted for who he was. No words can adequately describe this wonderful person who, on his death bed, continued to fight for our democracy. His legacy will be one which would make Donald Trump envious. I cry for his family and I feel hopeful that our democracy will survive because of his courageous actions. It will be hard to replace him. It goes without saying that Donald Trump will tweet insults against this courageous person who sought the Truth. Pay no mind to that; it is Trump's jealousy shining through, as usual.
R.I.P. Elijah Cummings. :(
rip
He was an amazing person who fought for the people. A true fighter.
He will never be forgotten! RIP
RIP Mr. Elijah Cummings a true Legend 🙏
I regret not hearing more of him
You didn't miss anything. He was just a crook and a phony.
RIP good sir, you left big shoes to fill
A grave loss this nation, to this world, now more than ever. Sir, if you see my father in heaven, I know he would be honored to shake your hand. You shall never truly be gone for your presence in the world will have generations of lasting memory and impact.
So TDS IS FATAL?
ONLY FOR TRUMP SUPPORTERS
@@HelpYouEatMe Nice Try...LIBTARD! .Hope you have TDS!
A true hero to the American public. Rest in Power.
No way... I can’t believe it .... 😦😔
May you be blessed and rest in peace🙏
But he was a lying corrupt scumbag? So... that's cool?
So many people actually think he was a good politician but did nothing to help Baltimore which is what he said he’d do not even a slight bit of help from him
FEEL BETTER, DICKHEAD?
P I’m just informing people the truth that he wasn’t good despite what they think
Now who is going to be the next dr.Martin Luther king?
AvryQuick senator John Lewis
J G no Lewis Hamilton he will be the best
Way too young. Rest in peace, Mr. Cummings. ♡
Maybe changes can finally come to Baltimore, MD... Hopefully Maxine Walters will be next and someone will do something about the homeless crisis in California
Agreed. I thought I was one of the only ones willing to say something.
RIP Cummings
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
I'm very much kidding... I just wanted people to see my comment.....
This is how I TRULY feel...
One of the greatest men in our modern country. This is truly DEVASTATING for the millions of Americans who had faith in this man and our country.
He was a building block to a ladder that could reach over tumps wall and destroy it.
As a white guy.... This truly made my heart drop today.
Now trump is gonna get away with EVERYTHING that he has done.
The blood on trump's hands will never be acknowledged now that he's dead...
I'm afraid of what this country is going to turn into now.
I also think.... I think trump killed him... Idk how yet... But I feel like this was a planned deal.
Because trump was so close to being impeached... I'm afraid that trump is gonna get off Scot free.
Trump is a mass murderer for making our troops abandon the Kurds in Syria. He's a hypocrite for sending troops to Saudi Arabia... Turning our troops into mercenaries as well as supporting people who were a part of 911...
Cummings was a huge deal to my family and I.
But... I'm not just grieving because of what's going to happen to our country....
I am also sad because of how much he's contributed to our country. He's been a good man and I hope he rests in peace at least... We had our faith in him and our hearts have been crushed.
I'm sorry for being an entitled tool.
Glad to see you changed his title and he won’t be remembered as “key role in Trumps impeachment inquiry”.
I can hear Trump crying in joy
Good riddance !
very surprised that trump hasn't said anything stupid about his passing yet.
Honestly I rather keep it that way. Trump has no shame and would probably say something awful about.
Say it ain't so! D8
Lmao good riddance
He will be sorely missed by the rodents in his district.
@@Michael45007 are you familiar with the rats and garbage heaps of Baltimore?
What a disgusting thing to say. Really says more about you them him.
George, you're clearly quite a repulsive human being. Why don't you stop trying to multiply the White race by pulling it out of your little sister and go to the library instead?
@@johnsrome8459 why did you have to go and say something racist?
@@khadijahmuhammad4771 why can't we dislike a bad person, after they die?
Hold on, first off let me say to his family and friends that I'm truly sorry for their recent heartaches due to Mr Cummings passing. And I truly mean that. But, when it comes to the "elected official" Cummings, well that is a completely different story. I'm reading some of these comments and the only logical reason that I can come up with, is that I must have the wrong Mr. Elijah "I been in public power of Baltimore for decades and nothing good has been done for my city or the people" Cummings. Literally has done not one thing that has improved his city or the people who live there. Unless you like eating rats, because he was a very good rat breeder. It's probably because he could speak their language. RIP And to the people of Baltimore, y'all better think progress over politics. The do nothing democrats are only there to keep everyone at the bottom.
He died a young age and in my opinion was a closeted black supremacist. Sad in both ways.
How was he a black supremacist?
He’s dancing with the devils
RIP
RIP
