Rep. Cummings tweeted:

Elijah E. Cummings

✔@RepCummings

Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors.

It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.

Just yesterday, I held a hearing on the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs and the financial hardships that families across the nation, and in Baltimore, are facing.

Mr. President, we can address this together. Two years ago, I went to the White House to ask you to endorse my bill to let the government negotiate directly for lower drug prices.

Cummings should demand an audience with Trump, and in the Oval Office, dare Trump to look him in the eye and repeat the insult that was tweeted. And call Trump an ignorant racist white power junky better suited to leading MAGA hate rallies than being POTUS, so you should resign before embarrassing the country anymore than you have.

Let's have it out face to face. Stop letting Trump tweet insults from afar without retaliation that gets in his face.
