He was a man of integrity and a true man of the people. He will be sorely missed in congress and in his home state and the US will be worse without him.

Whoever takes his place will have big shoes to fill.

RIP for sure.

I'll ask the question- Who might be tapped to fill his position?

What a man of honor and integrity. Something we have devalued today.

RIP, EC

We lost a civil rights legend today, a good man with integrity. I feel for his family, and also that he won't get to see Trump reap the whirlwind of treason. RIP Mr. Cummings, and thank you for your service. :cry:

I was saddened to see his death on the news earlier and I hope that his family is able to move beyond it. I also hope that his replacement holds the same principles dear.

Yours is the first mention of conspiracy. Cummings has had a bad heart for a very long time and has been failing in health, which is common knowledge. His heart said "time for a rest big guy".

No "conspiracy". After undergoing an unspecified medical procedure, the Democratic leader did not return to his office this week, the Baltimore Sun reported. A statement from his office said that he had passed away due to “complications concerning longstanding health challenges."
