    Jeet Heer Retweeted Nancy Pelosi

    As loathsome as it was, attacking the Squad had at least a semi-plausible political argument (create a wedge between left & Pelosi). But Cummings is a widely loved mainstream Democrat (and also respected by many in GOP). So attack on him is pure spite.https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1155148508296613889 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Nancy PelosiVerified account @SpeakerPelosi
    .@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1155073964634517505 …

        Or maybe none of it is politically strategic and he's just an angry racist narcissist who can't resist attacking any black person that criticizes him.

        “Spite” just another word for hatred.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Pointing out how he’s utterly failed his constituents is neither spite or racism. He continuously attacks the president calling him a traitor and racist. So when @kimKBaltimore reported on his district the president made a comment. Cummings is as corrupt as the rest of his party

        And deflection and distraction. He’s all about breads and circuses. Wait, perhaps not breads but he’s a gifted ringmaster of the media (social included) circus.

        So what you're saying, is Trump isn't a 3-D chessmaster, ruthlessly puppetmastering his opposition. He's just a bigot with no impulse control. Important if true!

        So you're saying his contempt for the other is indiscriminate?
