The widow of Democrat Elijah Cummings has announced she will run for the Baltimore seat he left vacant when he passed away last month aged 68. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings announced her candidacy Monday night, saying that her late husband 'wanted me to continue this fight.' Maya, who until now has been chair of the Maryland Democrat Party, said her husband had urged her to run for the seat as his health declined.

The fight to keep you in poverty, blaming whitey for all your problems, killing each other, living on welfare. Yeah, that's worth fighting for.

BTW, you ain't getting Elijah's spacious office. The old-time Dems have already taken that. You get a broom closet in the corner.

With these people it's always a "fight," always a "struggle." That outlook probably contributes greatly to the aggressive, obnoxious, in-your-face attitude they project. Maybe it wouldn't be such a "struggle" if they behaved like civilized people.

Is the body even cold? I guess this decision took her about as long as a quick examination of her dwindling bank account. The gravy train with biscuit wheels shall not be stopped.
And I am sure she will get elected as her constituency is just that gullible and easily manipulated.

She owns a consulting firm, and a charity with the same name. She is likely the most corrupt individual available to run for the seat, and will likely win.
A perfect new member of the Congressional Black Caucus!

There's nothing like Clear, Brief and Bold in a headline. But as for yet another crooked pot-skimming Democrat, who cares?

Which fight, Maya? You mean continuing to oppress the blacks and continue fooling them into poverty?

Was there any doubt that Cummings wife would run for his seat? That’s the way the Democrat socialists operate.

Don't blame this corrupt piece of crap if she wins, the blame will rest solely with the voters. It is time that the real cause of evil democrat communists being elected time and again is the responsibility of the voters.
Anyone who votes for a democrat for any office is a traitor to our country.

Doesn't Mrs. Cummings have some legal issues that haven't been resolved?
I am really concerned about our justice/injustice system. Michael Savage speaks about "dark days ahead", and that will be true if no one ever gets punished for the crime, or like the cat lady who was charged with feeding stray cats and was scheduled to spend ten days in jail, only those without any pull or something to blackmail someone with, will get punished for even feeding cats. Obama's "Fundamental Transformation of America" has not been good.

The seat is not Cumming's seat. It belongs to the people.

Never understood why these people think it is a familial right to occupy the seat?

What I have read about the widow Cummings is that she is responsible for the comfortable lifestyle that Elijah enjoyed in his later years. She is reputed to be even more corrupt than he was, and just as adept as scamming and grifting. She would fit right into the House at the moment.

Well, God put a stop to Cummings' traitorous ''fight.'' Apparently, God had enough of the grifter and has relegated Cummings to the ''down elevator!''
