Maya Rockeymoore Cummings Is Ready To Roll Up Her Sleeves | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Bless your heart, good luck. We could use another Cummings in the House. Especially a woman and a woman of color. 👍🙏
@Mary Ann Lammersen
Where does the yearly billions of dollars in federal aid to Baltimore go? We can’t ask Elijah anymore, can we.
@Back in Black No, we can’t, but as a resident we can ask for a public accounting of where that $ went and I’ll bet it went to much needed services but is not enough. Instead of asking where the money went, we should find out and then we will know what the problems are. Problem solving 101.
@Mary Ann Lammersen
Term limits
If she is ANYTHING like her Husband America needs her.
slush fund family, looking to be elected so she can keep the dirty money flowing. look it up. ps any politician with a non profit like the cummings family is probably being funneled money for their vote.. the more you know.
Why do you assume Maya is a “she?” When will bigots such as yourself stop feeling the need to advertise your sexism on social media?
@Lilli L’amour Yeah. As opposed to Chocolate Chandra. LOL. This woman is a pandering liar. She sounds like Sarah Palin.
prometheus5700 prove it
She’s gonna take Baltimore’s corners like Marlo Stansfield!
lmao
Hahahahaha. Let her name ring OUT
Morris Rowe My name IS my name.
LOVE WATCHING THIS GUY Trump , You must remember Trump is one of us , ,his light is in each of us ,meaning we all shine as bright as he does So tell me how did such darkness come to rule our nation ,we all should be ashamed especially those entrusted with our sovereignty
You don’t let the false rhetoric stop do you?
She’s extremely smart, talented and definitely worthy of the position. Hope she wins.

She’s was married to a famous politician, she’s a member of the 1%, and because she is both a woman and black she is at least a solid 8 on the 10 point identity politics hierarchy scale. If she starts dating a woman, she could be president.
Hope she loses
Boo hoo.
Nice to hear her speak about the people all over the world who are trashed, cheated and threatened by the coward and liar in the White House.
What did Elijah ever do for Baltimore? Where’d those billions of dollars for the city go? How’d Elijah get so rich being a career politician?

Lowest black unemployment in recorded U.S. history. Trump will get the support of at least 35% of blacks which spells doom for the leftists.
Thank you for continuing Elijahs legacy, I cried when he passed. I’m smiling now.

She’s going to go far.
She is a very impressive lady. Brough a tear, loss of her wonderful companion, and her commitment.
Dr. Cummings – I’m praying for your quick recovery from surgery, praying your strength to run this race!
My condolences you had one heck of a husband. And Elijah and turn had one heck of a wife. Good luck on your run I think you would be amazing. Elijah is Dancing with the angels looking down smiling at you.
If Cummings’ crookery wasn’t working, nepotism is a great way to fix Baltimore
Elijah Cummings of Baltimore was a man of deep empathy and kindness
And he was an honorable man in the best sense of the word.
Peggy Trawick 👍👍👍💙

Don’t forget corruption.
that right show them your career. She will be a excellent choice. to fight for justice for all of us.
And we would like more women’s to run too. Let’s us see what the women’s can do. And just because i am a democrat, don’t mean that we don’t need the new republican’s. of course we need ya’ll. to make the government balanced. we want them all to work together moving forward. And all we ask of them. is to look out for all people. rich and poor. Stop playing games with people lives. like trump has already done, All i am saying is, just for one minute put yourself in their shoe’s. Would you think it ok, it that what one of us. To watch your kid’s die in cages. or pull back troop’s. and you know for a fact. That people are going to die. And jim jordan say but it was sent. yes too late. and congress had passed that bill month’s ago. When congress said send it a.s.a.p. as you see he didn’t send it. Because he needed dirt on mr biden. So trump that why the people and kid’s had to die. Come on republican’s we know for a fact you are better and more powerful then that. but we will see in 2020.
At 1st before listening to her I thought “Oh, right, the wife now wants to be in the spot light?” After hearing the her speak, she is the real deal. Go Maya!
I almost cried. Love her spirit. We need a return to ethics, personal responsibility, and empathy. Amazing soul.💞💞💞
Wow she’s amazing
Godspeed and may your medical procedure go smoothly
On another note can anyone please name 1 Republican who is inspiring when you listen to them?
Serious question
JunkPunk Productions
No…I’m sorry to say no. Not one. Lost all respect. I’m an independent. It’ll be a long long time. It sickens me how politics is more important than integrity OR the constitution. They should all be voted out!!!
Republicans have somehow managed to become less than zero.
Linda Mennella 👍👍👍💙
Jimmy Jazz 👍👍👍💙
Mrs. Cummings, God bless and keep you and your family. You will make a great legislator. Much success to you.
She is a very great smart lady, and there should be more lady leaders like her in the world, it would surely be a better place.
Maya should throw her hat into the ring and take a shot. Hugely impressive lady who has the ability to unite and inspire. What better legacy for Elijah.
