Rep. Cummings on Comey Firing: ‘If This Were Hillary’ GOP Would Call for Impeachment (Mediaite)
We’ve seen a number of strong takes from Democrats regarding President Donald Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested that the termination was part of a coverup in the Trump/Russia investigations. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) invoked treason while Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) stated that Comey was fired because of the Russians.
Now we can add Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) to the list of prominent Dems who have expressed harsh criticism of the president’s actions.
During an MSNBC appearance last night, Cummings wanted Republicans to place the shoe on the other foot and ask themselves how they’d react if the president were a Democrat. And a specific Democrat at that.
