We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Jewish leaders in Baltimore have come to the defense of Rep. Elijah Cummings, the African-American Democrat who has come under withering attack from President Trump.
More than 30,000 Jews live in Cumming’s district and many have favorable views of the longtime congressman.
The Jewish community “has been able to count on Rep. Cummings time and again for assistance and leadership,” Howard Libit, executive director of the Baltimore Jewish Council, told Haaretz.
Israel Patoka, who serves on the city’s county council, called Cummings “a true ally of the Jewish community and a champion for the causes that we care about.”
After spending a week berating the group of four Democratic freshman known as “The Squad” — all women of color — Trump used Twitter over the weekend to attack Cummings, whose 7th District includes over half of the city of Baltimore.
On Saturday, the president called Cummings “a brutal bully” for criticizing conditions at border detention camps for migrants.
