Lewis isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

John Lewis is a POS. Whatever he did in the past to make the country better happened a long time ago. Evidently, he's been a typical slimeball politician made in the image of Sharpton, Jackson, Rangle and mayor Dinkins... Retire and finish out the rest of your years in the comfort of your home and your family. He is no longer any use to us in your current capacity. While I get it that he's a representative for Atlanta, he still affects my home district by his voting record. Just a bad guy all around anymore.

Good find. So basically anybody he doesn't vote for isn't "legitimate."

John, the President of the United States can visit anywhere he wants. Your ego is out of control. You aren't even a Congressman from Selma, Al.

Quote:Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he would not invite President-elect Donald Trump to Selma, Ala., the site of historical civil rights marches, though he would not stop Trump from visiting the city.

“Well, by going to Selma — like President Bush, President Clinton, President Obama — maybe he would learn something. Maybe he would get religion,” Lewis said during the interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I would not invite him to come,” Lewis added when asked by host Chuck Todd about bringing Trump to Selma.

Pressed about allowing Trump to visit the city, Lewis added, “I wouldn’t try to do anything to prevent him from coming.”

Trump and Lewis have been locked in a war of words stemming from a portion of the NBC interview released Friday, where Lewis said he didn’t view Trump as a “legitimate president” and would not attend his inauguration.

Trump fired back on Saturday on Twitter, saying the Democratic lawmaker was “all talk” and “no action.”

“Congressman John Lewis should 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,” Trump said in several tweets.

After backlash from a number of Democratic and Republican lawmakers, Trump tweeted that Lewis should focus on the nation’s inner cities, suggesting they work together on the issue.

Lewis walked in Selma with President Obama in 2015 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the civil rights march from Selma to the state’s capital of Montgomery as part of the voting rights movement. The lawmaker helped lead the 1965 Selma march and was beaten by police during the demonstration.

Wow...John Lewis has a really high opinion of himself and his influence. News flash John. I had a high opinion of you and your influence. That was a couple of decades ago. I think you are stinking Prog POS now. YOU and your ilk are to blame for most of the problems in the inner cities and poorer areas of America. You are nothing more than a slave master to your own people. You should be ashamed of yourself. MLK would shun you today.

He is pretty "revered" in his district.

They view him as an icon. They really do get excited about meeting him. I've heard them talk and my wife sees it on Facebook. The Democrats just love him, not just the Black ones.

Are you saying that "nothing gets done" in the District unless it "goes through" Lewis?

Well you could make a case he is taking the logic "did not win popular vote".

Was he at the 2004 event?

This certainly looks less of a principled stand and more partisan bull****.

So Trump says for years that Obama wasn't born in the United States so therefore shouldn't be president and no one complains but not Lewis says that of Trump and now there's outrage?


Oh the hypocrisy.

Oh the hypocrisy.

Trump was a private individual, Lewis is a sitting member of the House of Representatives casting doubt on our elections and governmental institutions.

If he wants to protest something POLITICAL, then skip a speech, skip the State of the Union or something. This event isn't really political in nature, it's about illustrating to the people and the rest of the world what democracy and a peaceful transition of power looks like. A time honored tradition going all the way back to Washington, and found in very few Countries in the world.

But, the left works tirelessly to undermine our Democracy all the time, Lewis is just following the playbook.

I don't have any problem with him skipping the inauguration. Its saying he's doing it because he's illegitimate that is inappropriate and borderline treasonous.

Well yea, he could have gone to a movie instead and not a single person would have noticed except maybe someone that notices the empty seat next to them. But that isn't what he decided to do, he's intentionally politicizing the inauguration, yet again, and lying in the process.
