Cummings on ‘The Squad’: ‘I’m Proud of Them,’ ‘They Love This Country,’ ‘They’re Brilliant’

‘They’re hardworking and they do the work and they care’

CUMMINGS: “I said that I hear so many comments about the Squad, the so-called Squad, and I believe with all my heart that they are some of the hardest working members of my committee. As you know, we have Ms. Tlaib, Ms. Pressley and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. They are members who are brilliant. And let me be clear, when I say that, I don’t say that lightly. They’re brilliant. They’re hardworking. And they do the work and they care. And I’m proud of them. I’m proud of our members on our committee and I’m also very proud of Ms. Omar. And I think the idea now is to — our Democratic Party is a big tent. And whenever you have a big tent, you are going to have disagreements. You can always have disagreements. But we're going together. We're all going together. And we're going to be fine. And I know that the President might love to see us battling it out or whatever, but you know, we're not going to give him that luxury because there's too much at stake: the future of our country and the future of our democracy. And I mean that. I will give to my death fighting for this democracy and fighting for the American people. And I believe that Ms. Omar, Ms. Cortez, Ms. Pressley and Ms. Tlaib, all of them love this country. The President is absolutely, unequivocally wrong when he says they're not capable of loving this country. They love this country. They want this country to be the best that it can be, for all of us, for everybody. Not just a certain percentage, but all of us."
