Mark Meadows' lackluster defense of Elijah Cummings speaks volumes | Analysis by Michael Warren
Washington When Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib accused Republican Rep. Mark Meadows of racism earlier this year, one of his"best friends," House Oversight Committee chairman and Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings immediately jumped to his defense.
When Cummings was attacked on similar grounds by President Donald Trump over the weekend, it took a bit longer for Meadows to publicly repay the favor. On Saturday and Sunday, Trump went after Cummings on Twitter, calling the veteran Democratic lawmaker a"racist" and his district a"disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess."Trump's comments hung in the air for days, sparking yet another conversation about the President's race-focused rhetoric.
