A video has emerged showing a friend of Elijah Cummings refusing to shake the hand of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell during a memorial service for the late congressman. The clip, which has been viewed more than 1.5 million times since it was posted on Twitter, shows McConnell turning to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer in shock following the apparent snub at the service in the Capitol.The man who did not shake McConnell's hand is reported to be Bobby Rankin, who is listed as a pallbearer for Cummings' funeral on Friday, October 25.The incident occurred during the service for the late Oversight Committee chairman, who became the first black lawmaker to lie in state at the Capitol.

With the death of Elijah Cummings, the United States lost a great statesman. At his funeral in Baltimore on this morning, great statesmanship — something that feels so distant in the age of the pervert — was again on display. It was a fitting farewell for a man of such integrity and achievement.

The eulogies emphasized how a decent man like Cummings attracted decency to him in turn — and stood up to wrongdoing wherever he saw it. Listening to the sober, stately addresses from the Clintons, Obama and Cummings' wife, Maya Rockeymoore-Cummings, was jarring, accustomed as we are to the rambling, incoherent outbursts from our current president.
