Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said he has “no doubt” President Donald Trump is a racist following the president’s recent attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color in which he told them to “go back” to other countries.
“What I’m hearing over and over again from my constituents is, please save our democracy,” Cummings told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
“They say, ‘Im scared.’ And I have never in my total of 37 years in public service ever heard a constituent say that they were scared of their leader,” Cummings said, referencing Trump.
Asked if he believes Trump is a racist, Cummings said yes.
“No doubt about it,” the Maryland lawmaker said. “I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but ... when I think about what he said to these young ladies who are merely trying to bring excellence to government ... it takes me back.”
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee said Trump’s vitriolic rhetoric toward the four freshman lawmakers ― Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) reminds him of the racism he faced in the 1960s.
“When the president does these things, it brings up the same feelings that I had over 50-something years ago,” Cummings told ABC. “It’s very, very painful. It’s extremely divisive. And I just don’t think that this is becoming of the president of the United States of America.”
Trump has said his tweets last Sunday, in which he told the lawmakers to “go back” to other countries, were not racist. All four women are Americans. Omar immigrated to the U.S. from Somalia as a refugee when she was 8 years old. The other three were born in the U.S.

Is Cummings a member of the overtly racist Black Caucus?
And no doubt your wife is a thief and fraud.
So, by default, everyone who voted for President Trump is also a racist?
Yet, Cummings somehow gets to escape that label?
Okay. Fine. Sure.
Another idiot Trump-hating Dem reveals himself by claiming lies as truths.
i got news for you elijah- you and your ilk are racists- constantly slamming ‘white privilege’ white this, white that-
And I have “now doubt” that you are of the “Lawn Jockey” persuasion.
Exactly......the BLACK Caucus........does NOT allow White members in it. Thats Racist.... Cummbutt is a racist.
I’m a racist
You’re a racist
He’s a racist
Zhe’s a racist
Martians are racist
Grains of sand are racist
Leftists are racists
But Hitler, well .... okay, he’s a racist too!
Perhaps the moron believes that the guy responsible for the lowest level of black unemployment in America’s history did it as a kind of punishment?
Delusional.
"These young ladies who are merely trying to bring excellence to government."
No doubt Elijah Cummings has the IQ of a potato.
They’re scared of what? Getting a job?
I heard today that every white person is a racist even if they don’t know it.
No doubt that each and every person is racist.
Wear a pointy hat Liga, that way no one will notice.
Perhaps Elijah is not happy with the young African Americans who have to go to work, now that they have jobs.
He wants them jobless and TOTALLY DEPENDENT on him and the other Black Caucus Blacks, so that they show up on election day with their minds straight.
sad and pathetic.
What a liar.
I suspect his critical thought processes, if her ever had them, are long gone. Well below 100 IQ and a lifetime of learned hate are not a good mix.
No doubt, Elijah, you are a Munchkin mental midget.
He makes a fool of himself every time he tries to sound serious. That is a real liability.
