.GStephanopoulos: 'Do you believe Pres. Trump is a racist?' Rep. Elijah Cummings: 'Yes, no doubt about it. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.'
House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said"yes, no doubt about it," when asked on"This Week" Sunday if he thought President Donald Trump was a racist after a week of controversy following attacks on four freshman congresswomen, adding that some of his Baltimore constituents have expressed fear of the president.
When asked directly by Stephanopoulos,"Do you believe President Trump is a racist?" Cummings responded,"I believe he is -- yes, no doubt about it. And -- and I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt." ABC News correspondent Kyra Phillips asked Trump on Thursday if he thought the chants were racist and the president said no.
"I know what it feels like to be at the other end of those kind of comments," Cummings said Sunday."I see what's happening in our country with hate crimes going up, and we're getting more and more people being emboldened with making racist statements and treating people badly. And that's not the way we should be."
I don't believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country. They should apologize to America for the horrible things they have said. They are destroying the Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can never destroy our great Nation!
