On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said that he doesn’t “necessarily” think the Democratic Party should move away from identity politics, but that the party should “concentrate” on economic issues.
Cummings responded to a question on Senator Bernie Sanders’ statement that the Democratic Party should move away from identity politics by stating, “I think we need to — no, I don’t necessarily agree. I think we need to deal with economics. I think economics is very important, but I think that we need to still pay attention to so many people who have been left out of the system in one way or another. Just like what I just talked about with voting rights of certain segments of our population. I think we can do both. But we’ve got to concentrate on economics, because a lot of people are suffering, and African-Americans and Hispanics are suffering probably more than other parts of our communities.”

maybe Communist Elijah the SLUMLORD should concentrate on economics by letting his tenants live free in his accumulated real estate holdings - after all, they are suffering more than the rest of us!
Cummings doesn't necessarily think before every time he speaks.
