I mean other than the fact that he endorsed Hillary.

You said...

Elijah Cummings is the one of the two that didn't tarnish his reputation.
Pretty easy to tell the difference imo

A civil rights icon trashed on DU for an endorsement of Hillary. He tarnished his reputation? How was that, oh wait he made his voice be heard. His voice and he sure as hell fought hard to make his voice heard, all PoC heard, yet you dismiss his voice, their voice. It was a long time coming and his fighting for civil rights and here you are telling him his vote does not matter.

You know the other thing sad, in my OP. The poster has no clue who John and Elijah are. They confused one with the other. They are just black men, they are one and the same, after all they look alike.
