Matt Gaetz (R-drunk) started a rumour that Elijah Cummings is in Venice, Italy, and the fright wing is all over social media and right-wing blogs carrying forward that lie.

Expect it to be on FOX soon, followed by Trump attacking Mr. Cummings over that.

Honest question the media should ask @SpeakerPelosi & @RepCummings - Did you have a fake impeachment presser and then fly off to Venice?

.@RepCummings is not on the Pelosi CODEL marking the 400th Anniversary of the First Enslaved Africans Landing in America. US Army Africa HQ is in Italy. https://t.co/6O2GMiy1y7 https://t.co/pNqR0g3xYM
