Elijah Cummings actually said...

"The crimes that were committed against them were brutal and barbaric, and their lives were stolen away from them all too soon."

"What I absolutely do not support, however, is the hateful rhetoric we hear and have heard coming from some my members of the Republican Party who disparage all immigrants with false condemnation."

"These were not accidental lapses of off-the-cuff remarks. They are genuine statements from the leading Republican candidate for President of the United States of America in 2016."

"We need to eliminate any misperception that immigrants as a group are more likely to be criminals or commit acts of violence."
