Trump to John Lewis: Fix your ‘horrible’ Atlanta district
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 1/14/17 | Greg Bluestein

Posted on 01/14/2017 6:15:23 AM PST by madprof98

President-elect Donald Trump labeled a congressional district that sweeps through the heart of Atlanta as a “crime infested” area that is in “horrible shape” in an early-morning tweet Saturday aimed at one of his most outspoken Democratic critics.

The Republican was unloading at Georgia Rep. John Lewis, who has represented the Atlanta district since his 1986 election, after the civil rights icon made national headlines when he told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he will skip Trump’s inauguration next week.

“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 a pair of Twitter messages. “All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”

Every one of the many outraged commentators reacting to this latest tweet know that it is precisely right.

Re: outraged commentators,

Throw a rock into a herd of pigs and the one that squeals loudest is likely the one you hit.

“I think it was a conspiracy on part of the Russians and others to help him get elected,” he told MSNBC. “That’s not right, that’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open democratic process.”

Did the Russians beat Russ Feingold in Wisconsin too? Did the Russians hack the election for Patrick Toomey in Pennsylvania? or Todd Young in Indiana? Or Richard Burr in North Carolina? Did the Russians cost the Democrats 900 state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats and 13 Senate seats over the past 8 years? Hell no.

Russia my ass.

Trump contests the moral level of conflict, the supposed conservatives frittered decades away playing intellectual and hoping not to get called “racist.”

Good. This guy Lewis lied about being spat on and called racial epithets at a tea party rally on Capitol Hill in order to try to make tea party activists look like racists. He is a tool and a liar.

Just as mclame has overplayed his Vet card, lewis has overplayed his Race card. The guy is a tool and a fool. No more cards for you!

You arever so right. I’d forgotten about that. Such an ugly, false accusation he made, and true to form, the media ran with it as truth.

Lewis was on black radio one election day a while back admonishing blacks who hadn't yet voted, claiming if they didn't vote for the black candidate, the Republicans would turn fire hoses on them and sic dogs on them.

The area around The King Center is very arty-——if you like blocks of graffiti covered buildings.

That is what I like about Trump. Says it like it is. Since when have we had a president (oops!...President-ELECT for only one more week!) who has spoken directly to the people with the sorry truth about some of these creatures in the swamp?

People keep wanting Trump to stop Tweeting and "act" more presidential. Have they not gotten it yet? Are they that stupid they can't see the handwriting on their own walls? He is acting presidential merely because he is the new president.

Trump is Trump. Trump is going to continue to be Trump. And He is not going to change. We NEED him to be rough around the edges and willing to be transparent, when others in the past have couched their words to the point of telling us nothing. We want him to be hatchet man and not a pussycat.

Trump is going to re-write the book on how to be presidential. The media better figure it out. The establishment RINO politicians better figure it out. And the opposition demoCRAPS and their allies in the talking-head and "analyst" crowd had better figure it out.

Because the American people who elected Trump had already figured it out and that is EXACTLY WHY HE GOT ELECTED.

The only hacking in Georgia came from the DHS. Still no answers.

This is what a fighter looks like.

Love the winning, Mr. President Trump.
