A civil rights leader can be an idiot like any other person. Trump won by a landslide in the electoral college. Saying Trump isn't legitimate is just idiotic.

He said that John Lewis was all talk. John Lewis was out there doing everything he could, and getting beaten in the process. Your lack of respect is astounding, even for a rump supporter.

Rump has done sod all when it comes to civil rights, got out of going to war (and has insulted war heroes). Disgusting. John Lewis is FAR from being an idiot,

Trump said he should spend his time helping his district and its inner city crime. I appreciate his civil rights contributions. But that doesn't make him untouchable when he says something idiotic. What has he done for us lately? He has become just another career politician that should be drained from the swamp.

Ya.. Donny Boy thinks the Congressman should be taking care of his district..cause thats what congressmen do, they rule their constituents. NOT. Lewis is not a local actor but a legislator in DC.

Still puzzled why anyone who cheered the total disrespect and obstruction of the Repubs and Congress toward Obama and his admin would expect anything from Obama and his admin/ Dems at this point in the game?

When Trump questioned Obama's legitimacy, Republicans were quick to condemn. And when this now happens, what do the Dems do? Not only do they not condemn it, but they condone it! That's why the Dems will be decimated in 2018.

BTW, this clown lied when he said this would be the first inauguration he missed. He also missed the Bush inauguration in 2001, saying Bush wasn't a legitimate President. Using his platform as a civil rights hero to divide the country is disgusting.

Being from Georgia, I'm all too familiar with John Lewis. He's been riding the coat-tails of MLK his entire life, and that is all he is good for. He's not the sharpest crayon in the box.

Glad to see someone has John Lewis all figured out! Not only John Lewis but the rest of the poverty pimps, including Reverrrend Al Sharpton and Reverrrrend Jesse Jackson.


Former Black Panther: ‘Illegitimate Congressman’ John Lewis ‘Presided Over Destruction Of Black People’
Jerome Hudson
17 Jan 2017

Black Panther-turned conservative author and activist Mason Weaver says after taking a beating for civil rights, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) joined his “oppressors” in the Democratic Party and has since assisted in the “destruction of black America.”
“He was fighting Democrats. And after they beat his behind on the [Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965] and ran over him and stumped him in the ground, he got up and turned and joined,” Weaver said Monday on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

“He joined the oppressors and became a stooge for them,” Weaver said of Lewis, who is “now sitting and presiding over the destruction of the black community; the destruction of black men; the destruction of black women, with drugs and gangs.”

“He more concerned about Trump being the illegitimate President,” Weaver said, “but John Lewis is the illegitimate Congressman.”

Weaver was responding to the war of words between President-elect Donald Trump and Rep. Lewis.

On Friday, Lewis described Trump’s election as “illegitimate” because of a Russian “conspiracy.”

“I don’t see the president-elect as a legitimate president. I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians, and others, that helped him get elected,” Lewis told NBC’s Chuck Todd.

Trump fired back, urging the Georgia Democrat to “spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.”

However, Weaver believes the spotlight should be turned on the longtime Democratic lawmaker and his record.

“He has presided over the worst school system in the world, where black people are learning to only be gang prep,” Weaver said of Lewis.

“I’m outraged that the demonstration that he had early in his life has turned into a subjugation of his right and authority as a black leader.”

Weaver says not only has Lewis failed his constituents — which consist of most of Atlanta, Georgia — but the “Congressional Communist Black Caucus that has every district they own and control is a ghetto hellhole.”

Weaver challenged Rep. Lewis to “apologize” to the American people for joining the Democratic “party of abuse,” which has “always been the party of the Klan; the party that went to war to keep slaves; the party that’s always been the destruction of black people.”

Rep. Lewis “has gotten rich and his people have gotten poorer,” Weaver said. “The black caucus has gotten more power and influence, and the black people they preside over have gotten poorer — more drugs, more gangs, less businesses, less home ownership, less education, more jails.”

Lewis, Sharpton, and Jackson. I can see a Three Stooges parody with them all too easily.

They may have begun from a legitimate place, but they've been milking the race issue for their own benefit for a long time. All of them.
