Resurfaced video shows Elijah Cummings calling Baltimore 'drug infested,' likening residents to 'zombies'
Ghosts of Elijah Cummings' Baltimore past come back to haunt him
House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., previously referred to his community of Baltimore as a "drug-infested" area, using a term that President Trump included in a tweet widely panned as a racist attack on the city. The video, tweeted by the president Wednesday, showed Cummings lamenting the city's scourge of drugs while speaking during what appeared to be a congressional hearing. "This morning, I left my community of Baltimore -- a drug-infested area where a lot of the drugs we are talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children," he said.
