Radio Host Says God Killed Elijah Cummings Because He Didn't Support Trump [View all]

https://newsone.com/3890812/christian-radio-host-elijah-cummings/

Maryland Congressman Rep. Elijah Cummings died early Thursday morning. He had been an elected official since 1983, always serving his community and yet Trump worshippers are still disrespecting. A conservative radio host said God killed him because he didn’t support Trump.

According to Right Wing Watch, Christian fundamentalist Stacey Shiflett claimed Trump was sent by God and Cummings headed a “cooked, deceptive, demonic attempt” to remove Trump from office. She also said about Cummings, “Everything that he’s done has been nothing but trying to take this president out. I believe that God had had enough, and God moved.”

Another so-called Christian, Dave Daubenmire, said Cummings was the “enemy of the cross” and “Maybe he didn’t know Jesus… I haven’t been sitting around praying that Elijah Cummings would die. But now that he did, I’m glad he’s gone . . . I bet he’s not pro-choice now. I bet he’s not pro-homo now.”

Jesse Lee Peterson, who is a Black, said about Cummings, “He dead. That’s what happens when you mess with The Great White Hope. Don’t mess with God’s children.” He also said, “If you notice, John McCain, he dead. Charles Krauthammer, he dead. And Elijah Cumming, now he dead. They all didn’t like The Great White Hope, they went against him, they talked about him, now they all dead. That’s amazin’.”
