I'm a big fan of both Rep. Tliab and Rep. Cummings. The alternatives to the approach he selected at the hearing would have made the clash worse. The goal of showcasing the racist nature of Meadows action was accomplished, and that's what matters.

"Indeed, a Palestinian woman did what a descendant of sharecroppers failed to do: defend a black woman against Meadows’ tokenization of her agency." THIS.

I saw Cummings defending her. This is not accurate. Meadows was asking Cummings to strike her statement from the record and Cummings refused. Meadows eventually withdrew his request. Did you watch the hearing

Is the way he dealt with this the only way he could avoid the forced vote to strike her entire statement from the official record?

Yes. People need to read the rules of congress.
@Lawrence explained what happened and why the situation had to be diffused this way.

Disagree. House decorum required the chair to comport exactly as how Rep Cummings did. Read up on it.

Lawrence O’Donnell explained this tonite on the show. Congressional rules say that one can not say anything negative about a member. She apologized so EC would not have to step in.

Rep Cummings is a superb statesman. His position was untenable, and he managed it with as much grace as possible, and so did Rep Tlaib, who is a young, upcoming star. These old racist GOP white men need to be voted out ASAP. That asshole Meadows is up for re-election in 2020.
