So Close, So Far: A Texas Democrat's Day Without Sunshine [John Lewis skipped Bush inaugural]
The Washington Post ^ | January 21, 2001 | Kevin Merida

John Lewis, for instance, spent the day in his Atlanta district. He thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in because he doesn't believe Bush is the true elected president.

Seeing a pattern, anyone?

In addition, it is difficult to believe something like that is something he simply forgot about...yet he said this to Chuck Todd, and of course Chuck Todd didn't bother to expose the fact this was not true:

Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., said he does not believe Donald Trump is a "legitimate president," ... Lewis told NBC News that he does not plan on attending President-elect Trump's swearing-in next Friday. "It will be the first one that I miss since I've been in Congress," he said. http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/john-lewis-trump-won-t-be-legitimate-president-n706676

Last six presidential elections (three GOP winners; three Democratic):

1996: No Republican protests in Congress
2000: Democrats protest in the House
2004: Democrats force debate after Democratic Party members of House and Senate protest Ohio's electoral votes
2008: No Republican protests in Congress
2012: No Republican protests in Congress
2016: Democrats protest in the House

Notice a pattern? Congressional Democrats always throw a hissy fit after they lose a presidential election.

If the President ain’t Black, he won’t go back.

Fine with me.

Would it be racist to point out he only attended the inaugural of the President of his race while boycotting the two that “didn’t look like him”(to borrow a familiar liberal meme)?
The media still doesn’t get what we like about TRUMP.Any other politician would be scared *hitless to even answer the criticism from Lewis because of the left claiming him as a deity.

Today was a very dismal day...no sunshine, just another milk day. Hardly any activity out side, not much traffic, and I wonder where is every body, where are the marches be honored in the name of milk? John Lewis, a democrat form Georgia, said that Trump was not a legitimate president, and Congressman, I do not regard your moral authority to be legitimate nor honorable.

Also, Congressman Lewis, as far as race relations are concerned you just put that wedge in between black and white and split it wide open, with your stupid and racist comment. How many more racist cards do you hold in your nubby hands?

The best way to make Turtlehead Lewis go away is to ignore him.
