Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., on Saturday told President Trump to “say nothing” about the passing of civil rights icon John Lewis, who died late Friday of pancreatic cancer.

Trump issued a proclamation shortly after 11 a.m. to order all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff at the White House, all public buildings and grounds, all military posts and embassies for the remainder of Saturday “as a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding public service” of Lewis.

But Bass said Trump shouldn’t say anything about the death of the Democratic congressman from Georgia. Trump has a history of divisive rhetoric, particularly on race relations, but Bass offered no explanation other than to say “let us mourn in peace.”

“.@realDonaldTrump while the nation mourns the passing of a national hero, please say nothing. Please don’t comment on the life of Congressman Lewis,” she tweeted. “Your press secretary released a statement, leave it at that.” …

An actual ‘Karen’ named Karen! What are the odds?

Why, Karen? What do you not want the world to know about John Lewis? Performing triage on the ‘history’ of yet another race-baiting, gun-grabbing, pocket-lining Democrat? ;)

Vaguely remember Lewis.

He was just another garden variety race pimp.

Hey Bass - you no longer have the right say anything about any non-black elected official. You POS racist.

Maybe they could borrow Saint Floyds golden hearse and drag him around the country for funerals in every town.

See if you can identify Lewis vs (the also late) Elijah Cummings

Hey Karen, old gal....I’ll be your huckleberry and say something:
Good riddance to some really, really, nasty bad rubbish.
How’s that for ya, Karen? Ya like that? Thought so.
Stick where the sun don’t shine, you stinkin’ commie beotch.
IF you want some more, there’s plenty more and worse where that came from.

Nothing more divisive than what the left is attemmpting to do here. If the President says nothing then he allows a gnat of a congress person to silence the leader of the free world. If he publicly ackowledges the passing the left will catterwall about the President’s divisive rhetoric. Either way the President is framed as a divisive character with no substantiation.

That sentence by a FOX official is enough to tell us how liberal FOX has become.

There is no way to credibly explain how BLM and Antifa burning buildings and breaking heads makes President Trump divisive trying to end their behavior.

There are a few good people left at FOX, but the ranks are thinning.

“let us mourn in peace.”


So Lewis is to be properly mourned by whom, Karen? Only blacks? Only democrats? I know, Karen—why not make John Lewis’s funeral a political event, you all have had practice at that.

“TOO LATE” Exactly so.

Of course, it’s not like POTUS had a choice.

He HAD to go the extra lengths despite the man’s blatant racism and utterly despicable “congressional service.”
