Attacks on Baltimore 'hurt' Cummings, wife says
By Cristina Marcos - 10/25/19 01:35 PM EDT
Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, the wife of the late Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), said during a eulogy at her husband's funeral in Baltimore on Friday that the recent attacks against his city had been personally painful for him, in an apparent reference to President Trump.
While she did not name President Trump as the source of the attacks, it was clear that she was referring to his tweets over the summer calling the Baltimore-area district Cummings represented a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested" place, while blasting the Oversight Committee chairman as a "brutal bully."
"I want you all to know that it was not easy. What Congressman Chairman Cummings did was not easy. And it got infinitely more difficult in the last months of his life, when he sustained personal attacks and attacks on his beloved city," Rockeymoore Cummings said in an impassioned eulogy during the service at New Psalmist Baptist Church in Baltimore. "And while he carried himself with grace and dignity in all public forums, it hurt him."
