Representative Elijah Cummings: 'We Have Got To Get Back To Normal' | MSNBC
Preach! This was the most powerful moment of the day.
Well said chairman Cummings. 🙏
Chairman Cummings did an excellent job , he was speaking not just to Cohen , but to the nation. He is right , " We Are Better Then This "
Than
David Ellis He is full of it. He orchestrated this meaningless hearing just to smear trump, Cummings is a complete fraud.
Thank you Mr. Cummings! You are an amazing man and I have a great deal of respect for you Sir.
Imagine if Nunes was still running this thing. Nothing like this would have been said.
There would not even be a hearing if Nunes was still in charge. Thank goodness he and Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows are now in the minority, all they can do is whine and complain while everyone else gets on with the solemn responsibility of actual oversight.
Devil Nunes is not a good man.
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 Oh, there would have been a hearing, but about her e-mails.
Nunes never ran this committee. He ran the House Intel committee, the one Cohen will testify to Thursday.
Billis Lopez This was a total screw up by Cummings . Orchestrating this dumb hearing. Just to smear trump. Pathetic.
I don't know if Rep Cummings would say he follows Christ but this is what a follower of Christ looks like. I am so impressed.
That is a closing statement that will go Down in history - fabolous, mr Chairman Cummings!!
Makes we wish I was American...! What a closing speech! Folks have to really think deeply about all this and drop the politics...
Nduka Mba-Uzoukwu Cummings is a great defender of democracy, and the Constitution, and the separation of powers, against cynicism.
Clobbersaurus No he’s not. He orchestrated this dumb hearing just to smear trump , because Cohens going to jail.
@@Raptor-bt6zp Trump is doing a great job of smearing HIMSELF. He doesn't need any help with that.
Does your loyalty lie first with your country and its moral values....or does it lie first with an unrepentant and constant liar? I, and many other Americans, sadly know the truth to that question....even if you don't by admitting it to yourself.
BrooklynLass He’s not smearing himself at all. He has nothing to be repentant about. You are confusing his exaggerations with lies.
@@Raptor-bt6zp1) Which exaggerations are you referring to...specifically?
And
2) Would other reasonable people call what you refer to as "exaggerations" as out and out "lies"?
A civil response please for a civil conversation.
Much respect Mr. Cummings!
Elijah Cummings nailed it so perfectly on the head. I'm happy he represents me as a citizen.
This gave me chills. What Cohen did was very wrong, but he is more remorseful than anyone i've ever seen. Thank you, Rep Cummings, and thank you, Mr Cohen. This day will go down in history, hopefully as the day sanity was restored in American politics.
History in the making! Great speech, Mr. Cummings.
Cummings is a total phony.
Didn’t think very highly of Mr Cohen b4 today but he showed some true redemption today.
The history books will record him as coming over to the right side.
Shane Anthony Yes, he just raised the standards and kicked down every belief of a so-called “rat”. Being able to get your heart/mind right so that you no longer carry the burdens of other people wrong doings is a weight lifted from his heart. He no longer have to live in fear thinking he was a bad person, no, he was influenced by bad people and forced to do bad things...the power of association. To all the other thousands of Americans who suffer from Mental illnesses because they are harboring events they saw or heard but have been forced not to tell because they will be labeled a rat, well, Cohen just knocked hells door down for you so you can walk through and be set free!!!! Thanks Congress for hearing and receiving his testimony. The American people believe in Cohen and now have much respect for his life changing decisions to right his wrongs. God is a God of second chances. Well said Mr. Chairman.
Prindarden oh yeah Cohen did such a great job he was referred to the DOJ for lying to Congress during this hearing. He might be looking at more prison time.
Cohen, in doing this hopefully has help the US turn the corner. Sadly, those on the right are still towing the line and history will not be kind to them.
Vinnie Krieger Turning What corner?
Prindarden so let’s see he committed 4 felonies. He lied during these hearings the DOJ is investigating him for lying to Congress again. He might be looking at more prison time. He is still on the same corner.
Thank you Mr Cohen. May God protect you and your family.
“We are Better than this” and “we have got to get back to normal”. Historical comments from his heart.
CHAIRMAN CUMMINGS SPEAKS FOR ME. Ready to stand and fight for our democracy.
Man, He took those people to Church!
Classic, like the Gettysburg Address.
I feel honored to have listened to this.
Thank you, Mr Cummings. I hope we can heal from this.
Before aligning yourself with other people's agenda, ask yourself if you're willing to pay the price should the worst case scenario play out?
These are life lessons at play.
Well said. Cummings is a great American.
Next stop for the trump train is impeachment.
@bUH sNUH bUt HeR e-MaIlS.
bUH sNUH reEEEEE her emails!1!1!!! MAGA!1!1!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, we can all do better! Thanks Mr. Cummings. We are better than this!
8,718 False or misleading statements. Let that sink in, that means you lie at such a rate and frequency that is beyond normal or comprehension.
I feel like there is not enough urgency surrounding getting Trump out of office.
It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. - Mark Twain
Yes sir u r right
I am in tears. man.
Powerful........
Hi Elijah.👋.
Exceptional reporting, Elijah.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Get back to work, Elijah.👍.
Watch his facial expression when Mr. Cummings said "you got caught up in it". 4:10
That tells everything one needs to know.
This is one of the best speeches I have ever heard in my life. It made me stop dead in my tracks when it was on tv. Words of wisdom. That’s how I found out who Elijah Cummings was after that. And that’s what breaks my heart now, he’s gone. I play this speech all the time.
This put tears in my eyes. I absolutely right, everyone should be given a chance to change.
Amen Mr. Cummings! AMEN!
Michael Cohen made a lot of mistakes. But he owns them. And he’s going to pay the price for those mistakes . But the one thing you can’t doubt about Cohen is that he loves his family very much. And he would do everything to protect them and provide for them.
Just heard this morning that Mr Cummings died a few hours ago. His words about Mr Cohen's daughter so emotional. Rest in peace Mr Cummings. 🌹🌳💛
Bars!!!!
RIP the Good always go first
RIP Mr. Elijah Cummings. So sad...great man!!
Trump colluded.
Michael Draheim prove it
@@njgirl7359 Helsinki, Dossier
this is pure sugar to everyone eating their popcorn watching from far far away how to us slowly burns to the ground
Love the Closing 👍🏼 😃100%
This has to be one of the best closing statements. This is what our representatives should be! 👏👏👏👏 this gives me hope for our country listening to him. ❤️ look everyone that's humanity and objectiveness and democracy.
Yesterday Mr Cummings passed away. I would like to say that this man showed so much compassion and empathy even to those who have wronged our nation greatly. He truly was one of very few in our national government who had moral values and actually stuck to his convictions. Regardless of if we agree on some political views, it’s hard not to see his passion and love for this country and for human beings.
I remember watching this hearing and I remember this part of it. It honestly made me cry. He is such an inspiration. We need more people like him in our government. May he rest in power.
Compassionate words
I really appreciate what mr. Cummings said because it's all Americans we should be proud of the fact that we have a government that gives us freedom and we also thank our soldiers all over the world to fight for our right to have freedom of speech I thank God for all America and I pray for the world
Amen
Our condolences to Rep. Cummings' family and friends during this sad time. Mr. Cummings will be truly missed. Thank you for your service, Sir! "What did we do to keep our democracy in tact?"--Elijah Cummings.
I love when he says “we can do more than one thing [at a time]” - yes we are better than this
The lady sitting in the background is a whole mood I swear, especially that face she made when Mr. Cummings spoke about a 'better Donald Trump' LOL! There is no better Donald Trump, sad to say. He is a pathetic excuse for a man, president, husband, father and most of all, human being and his base is worse for propping him up like he's some kind of gold standard we should be in awe of. The only thing I'm in awe of as far as he's concerned is his absolute lack of moral grounding and self-delusional narcissism--just unreal.
Cummings is a great American.
Can’t believe that Cummings made tough man Cohen cry!!!!!!!
excellent chairman.......but actually actions speak louder than words - the us needs to prove that they r better than this , palavering is not good enough anymore
Amazing
Hallelujah. Chairman Cummings summed up how we're all feeling, perfectly. Can we please stop with the daily sideshow circus?
That was amazing
MR. CUMMINGS, DANCE WITH THE ANGELS!
we are not better than this, this is reality, is what it is.
Ya Its True !
Dr Dena Grayson is feeling it!
c'mon now 😁
The blind leading the blind.
Everybody loves a redemption arc. Its why you see this story in so many books and movies like Goodfellas. Cohen did a lot of bad things and he deserves to go to prison. But he's doing the right thing now, and I wish him and his family the best once he finishes his time.
Words from the late Elijah Cummings that under Trump's America is not the new normal!
Powerful commentary by Elijah Cummings... Bravo.
Pro-tip: watch this on 2x speed
And Hillary Clinton was a pillar of virtue. Thanks for straitening me out. Trump was never my guy but, I got a pretty good idea of when we’re being sold a bill of goods and having Lanny sitting in on this whole circus was enough for me. Two party system no longer serves the people. They’re outta touch and above the law. It is about justice right?
Cohen did amazing and yet Representative Elijah ruins the whole thing just like "Tick". Mumble Mumble Mumble and sentences that totally lack class. "I mean, I mean come on now." It was getting statements from a "dude" passing by.
C'mon now....#backtonormal
Elijah Cummings IRS Scandal 2009
Elijah it is not going to get back to normal ESPECIALLY since Andrea 'Chainsaw' Greenspan now has a high tech JET PACK to chainsaw her victims with from above!! *Andrea ChainsawGreenspan IS AIRBORNE with JET PACK capabilitlies!!*
What? Are you OK? I mean, really.. are you OK? Please blink if you need help. We can contact your facility to help with your treatment.
uuugh, mmmm, ahhhh, ehhhh, duhhh, errrr, aaaagggg, grrrrr, buuuut; naaaaahhh, uummmm, you know, and ummmm, you know, and ummmm and ummmm, and ummmmm......harnttt..... classic example of the dumbing down of america when orators aren't able to put their thoughts into words.
Thank you Mr. Cummings
If you have a problem with the closing remarks that Chairman Cummings said, may God help you.
@Larry Byrd Screw them. they are in the minority and will be reminded of it soon. I can't consider them to even be human let alone American.
@bUH sNUH Go back into the hole you crawled out from. I'ts better for everyone.
@bUH sNUH Clever. More political partisan nonsense gleaned from a statement that was neither.Cummngs is wrong, we're not better than this and your comment is an example of that.
There is no such a thing as "God".
You can certainly say that again I agree wholeheartedly with you
I have a lot of respect for the chairs of these committees after watching this and the Whitaker hearing. In spite of all they put up with, they take it in stride and keep the process moving along. Great job Chairman Cummings.
That closing speech actually made me cry. Watching Cohen trying not to lose it and cry was tough. All I can say about this closing was W O W !! Elijah Cummings is quite the man and would have made one helluva President!! Jorden and those other GOP fools should hang their heads in embarrassment and shame, but I doubt they have it in them or would know what that was if it bit them in the butt! Cohen surely did wrong, but I believe he did the right thing now and I wish him well in the future!
The sad part is, he passed away today. GREAT MAN INDEED! RIP MR. ELIJAH CUMMINGS
This really was an incredible closing statement. I had no idea who Elijah was until today, but I can say that I have a great deal of respect for him.
Mr. Agreeable I hope you read up on him. Given his history, it’s incredible the amount of empathy he had for Cohen. Proud to be an American tonight after that speech.😊
Well done Mr Cummings. I actually feel sorry for Mr Cohen I hope he finds redemption in his testimony.
To get back to normal would mean all the trumpf family goes to prison .. anyone connected or profited from this corruption along with those in Congress. Let's make America great again!🗽
Ok what corruption?
Let's make America sane again.
I don't want anything to do with Elijah Cummings "Get back to normal" He must mean his normal power to use the IRS to target and harass Christians for months, perverting the law. That man is corrupt.
#wearebetterthanthis brilliant speech Rep. Cummings
I like his facial expression when he slammed the gavel at the end
Truly great speech, brought me to tears. And a glimmer of hope.
If it was a House Republican Chairman in control he wouldn't close out with heart felt statement but condemning Cohen for exposing Trump.
Wether for or against.... this was one POWERFUL clip and speech by the Chairman.
Thank you Mr. Cohen! I can definitely see how someone can get caught up in his world. It's a snowball down a mountain. You are doing the right thing. Keep strong. You are helping the US. You have helped to open pandora's box!
Katie WHEN HE SAID”OH I HAVE TAPES”!! Betcha trump pooped right while lying to KIM yesterday!!!!
This was the truth. And I hope true americans really listened. I know I did.
Amen Rep. Cummings! I loved Lanny Davis' reaction at the end.
Bravo Mr. Cummings, your opening and closing speech’s were priceless! 👏🏾👏🏾
God bless this man. He's dancing with the angels now.
powerful
This is honestly beautiful. Rest in peace Elijah
Elijah Cummings was a great man.
RIP Congressman Cummings, I'm not sure we deserved a man like you, but thank you for being such a wonderful human being.
You better speak that good word up in here, Brother Man! Take these folks to the altar today!
Uhhhh, WOW! That is one of greatest speeches in American history
He kept it real as a father he felt bad for his daughter and him, Mr Cummins your a great heart felt man thank you
173 days, 6 hrs., 25 mns. to 400 yrs
@bUH sNUH
That fear you cant shake in the pit of your gut, your going to find out very soon why its there!
All haters will burn!!
R.I.P dance with the angels
When are we gonna get to see trump admitting his wrong doings,showing regrets or being humble? A guy who says that he never makes mistakes nor has ever ask for forgiveness.
Bee Bamm Bamm IN NEVEMBER!!!
