We all remember this guy from the 11-hour Benghazi hearings.

After staying neutral Elijah Cummings has come out in support of Hillary Clinton, just a tad over 2 weeks ahead of voting in his home state Maryland.
Elijah Cummings endorses Hillary Clinton after staying neutral for months
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) endorsed Hillary Clinton on Sunday, after months of staying neutral in the presidential contest because of his post as the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“Families in Baltimore who are hurting right now need more than the promise of a political revolution,” Cummings wrote in an op-ed submitted to The Washington Post.
He added that Clinton “not only understands the challenges facing Baltimore and other cities, she’s laid out a clear and detailed agenda that meets those challenges head-on.”
Last week’s Maryland poll puts Hillary’s advantage in the state at 15%.
On the Oversight Committee, Cummings was Clinton’s chief defender against Republicans during their probe into the September 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya. The investigation, he said in the fall after her testimony, was an “abusive effort” to “derail Secretary Clinton’s presidential campaign.” But he held off from endorsing her at the time.
He was absolutely great in that Benghazi hearing. He spoke truth to power. Glad to have him on Team Hillary.
