Heated Exchange Between Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Challenger
A visit by U.S. Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to a local Democratic club turned into a heated argument with her primary opponent, Elijah Manley, who she is suing.
The 4-minute exchange, captured on video, began when Manley confronted Cherfilus-McCormick about a $1 million defamation lawsuit she filed against him last month.
“If you want to come up here and be disrespectful, let’s rock ‘n’ roll.”
Near the end of the argument, Cherfilus-McCormick appeared to insult Manley, saying "Your mama".
- The lawsuit claims Manley spread "blatant lies" about Cherfilus-McCormick in campaign videos and published commentaries.
- The case remains active, with a summons submitted to Manley four days before the confrontation.
