CNN Panel: Elijah Cummings Defended Mark Meadows, Why Isn’t Meadows Defending Him Now?

EXCERPT:

CUMMINGS: "I think she said that she was not calling you a racist. And I thought that we could clarify that. Because, Mr. Meadows, you know — and of all the people on this can committee, I’ve said it and got in trouble for it. That you’re one of my best friends. I know that shocks a lot of people."

MEADOWS: "And likewise, Mr. Chairman."

CUMMINGS: "But you are. And I could see and feel your pain. I feel it. And so — and I don’t think Ms. Tlaib intented to call you that."

CAMEROTA: "That was — that was unnecessary. He didn't have to go to bat for Mark Meadows. And now, tick-tock, where is the defense of Elijah Cummings?"

CARDONA: "Well, the silence is deafening."
