(12,595 posts)Who names their kid ELIJAH? No wonder he doesn't have a dozen big, beautiful buildings named after himself, like Your Favorite President. He was a great man, a good man, even though I don't remember meeting him. #MAGA! #NOIMPEACHMENT

@BarackObama
Michelle and I are heartbroken over the passing of our friend, Elijah Cummings. May his example inspire more Americans to pick up the baton and carry it forward in a manner worthy of his service.

obviously he did NOT write it himself.
(clues: he is not a warm person, therefore he has no "warmest condolences" & he would never give anyone else credit for having the wisdom he recently claimed to possess.)
"My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!
