Steve Cohen actually said...

"we are saddened greatly by the loss of a great American, great congressperson, but a great American and human being in Elijah Cummings"

"He personally meant to me a great competitor, a great fighter for what he believed in and the people he fought for, but also would be one that also could reach across the aisle."

"I thank our witnesses and our Members for being here today, and particularly Congressman Sewell for her sponsorship and her long work on this effort."

"Well said, thank you."
