Rep. Richmond to Barr: Keep John Lewis' Name Out Of The Department of Justice's Mouth
RCP video ^ | 7-28-2020 | Ian Schwartz

Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) scolded Attorney General William Barr ... in his opening statement.

"When you all came here and brought your top staff, you brought no Black people. That, sir, is systematic racism. That is exactly what John Lewis spent his life fighting,” Richmond said. "I would just suggest that actions speak louder than words and you really should keep the name of the Honorable John Lewis out of the Department of Justice’s mouth."

Good idea, no mention of John Lewis is fine with me. The Democrats can have him.

I can think of a succinct two word response to this individual.

I think he was trying to say systemic racism

“Keep my name out yo mouth” is another wonderful contribution from “youths”.

John Lewis fed at the public trough for more than 50 years. While he fed at the trough he hated America, and in my estimation he is no patriot. This weeks’ long funeral is just playing to the black community.

It’s hard to do but they just need to be ignored. They thrive on response.

The Black agitators seem so concerned about “white privilege” and “systematic racism,” I wonder why they are so unconcerned about the millions of actual Black slaves that exist today in Africa (read about Mali, Niger, etc.).

John Lewis was a racist, a Communist, and a thief who was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee--much like the scandal-plagued Cedric Richmond.

Obama’s speaking now at his service and dared to bring up federal agents being sent to abuse peaceful demonstraters with clubs etc.

Can’t hardly believe Obama would actually admit to this lie and lying about it. He’s such a racist!

They don’t seem to make the connection with crime and the population percentage of Blacks and of those in jail.

Actually they do.

All crime - is Trump's fault! (sarc).
