C-SPAN: In a previously scheduled appearance at the National Press Club,
Baltimore Representative Elijah Cummings speaks about the recent
back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. He
expresses sympathy to the victims' families and to those injured in the
gun attacks, and he says that it's time for the country to say that
"enough is enough." Representative Cummings also calls for an end to the
current political rhetoric and appeals for unity to get things done for
the country. "Those in the highest levels of the government must stop
invoking fear, using racist language and encouraging reprehensible
behavior. It only creates more division among us and severely limits our
ability to work together for the common good... We must stand united
and demand change," he says.
