Marco Rubio is going to be there too. Let's see if he defends Lewis' words attacking Trump.

If I were Mr. Lewis I would not get into a war of words with anybody.

From watching his career over the past 40+ years it appears to me that he’s barely absorbed the language.

Jungle Island? Will Lewis demand the name be changed to Rainforest Island? (Or maybe Selma Island)

Glad to see I wasn’t the only FReeper to have such thoughts on that location name. Filed under the heading of “jokes writing themselves.”

Wait till some White Dude says JUNGLE ISLAND is a good place for Lewis.

This is a typical case of lets run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.

Lewis ‘disses’ DT from the gitgo.

DT FINALLY hits a nerve with tend to your OWN district etc

MSM Salutes and runs with the Trump picking on Lewis

I guess everything is going just great in Lewis’ district, so he has time to go to Miami.

Lewis carries the torch for Russia. No one is pointing out that his actions to delegitimize Trump is just what Russia wants.

Proof that term limits are needed and needed now.

They keep sending the same dead wood back to DC and they get dumber by the year.

This was never supposed to be a career...If these positions are so ‘hard and demanding’ why are they allowed to stay 40 years or so? We ‘kick em out of the Military, PD, FD, etc after 30 years - with good cause as their bodies are probably starting to fall apart.

The only diff is the Pols mind starts to go and when you show up for a ‘battle of wits’ and are permanently ‘half prepared’ we can make a case that what little mind they have/had must be really deteriorating after a long spell.

Trump needs to drop this Lewis thing. It was all a trap IMO.

Shouldn't Lewis be back in his District helping his constituents with the poverty and abandoned housing that Lewis has done nothing about?

Example of Lewis caring for his district: Abandoned houses on English Avenue, Atlanta, Georgia, August 23, 2012. Photograph by Keizers. Courtesy of Keizers, CC BY-SA. Atlanta's black population lives principally in the region's suburbs, leading to a rise in abandoned properties in historically black neighborhoods in the city's center.

What is up with Google the last few days?

As soon as I enter a “J” into the search engine, it auto-suggests “John Lewis”.

It’s Lewis that will get stuck in that trap. People are now discovering what he really is about out.

You cannot let charges of being “illegitimate” stand. That’s not just an attack on Trump, but also on the millions who voted for him.
