Seventy-six-year-old Congressman John Lewis once did something so heroic, so noble, that it helped to change the course of a nation for the better. The Georgia Democrat was beaten up savagely by white Southern racists in 1965, and everyone appreciates very much his personal sacrifice to advance civil rights.
But what has this radical leftist blowhard done for America lately?
Like the civil rights movement he served, he has become corrupt and destructive. He is a hateful old man who lies about his political adversaries and spews ugliness.

In some ways it sounds a lot like John McCain.
Benedict Arnold was once an American hero, too.
I don’t ever condone violence or racism. I also don’t ever condone lying either. I watched that video clip of John Lewis this weekend where he looked so believable and sanctimonious as he explained how he had never yet boycotted a president’s inauguration. However we now know that Lewis unquestionably lied in that interview. So this begs the question: when else did he lie? Do we have any evidence that he was actually beat up in Selma? Or do we just take his word on this like we took his word that he never boycotted a president’s inauguration before?

“I don’t plan to attend the inauguration. It will be the first one that I miss since I’ve been in the Congress.”

“Some members of the Black Caucus decided to boycott Inauguration Day; 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.”
Each time we see his name we must remind the country that he is a liar. He said Tea party spit on him and called him N word ! Both proved false by videos.
Selma, Alabama, Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965:
Under the orders of a democrat governor 150 Alabama state troopers, sheriff ’s deputies, and others,
most if not all democrats themselves, order demonstrators to disperse.
After a short warning, wielding clubs, and tear gas, they advance on the demonstrators.
In the ensuing melee, John Lewis, 25 years old at the time, suffered a skull fracture.
He then goes on to join the party of his oppressors and becomes a lifelong democrat himself.
He turns himself into a civil rights icon and builds a political career on the strength of his black skin and the injury sustained at the march.
He dedicates his life to attacking, smearing and destroying members of the republican party even though it was republicans who
supported the demonstrators and opposed the democrat brutality back in 1965 on Bloody Sunday..
We’re always told he is an icon, and therefor beyond criticism. But no one is an icon this side of heaven, and no one is beyond criticism.
Lewis is a despicable racist. Period
He has about as much relevance to me as a damned fire ant.
I hate those stinking things and given the chance, destroy as many as I can...and given the chance...this Lewis bozo can go the same route.
Nothing more than an irritating piss ant.
Just saw McCain on Fox and Friends, and was pleasantly surprised that he sided with Trump instead of Lewis in their current tweet “war”.
Indeed
Saw Mason Weaver, former black panther, on Tucker Carlson last night. YIKES! Talk about telling like it is. See link:

John Lewis gets savagely beaten by a gang of White racists in 1965 and is labeled a hero. My son gets savagely beaten by a gang of Black racists in 2017 and what does he get labeled? A victim.
bingo.
The marchers, including John Lewis, what they wanted.
What is Selma like now, and why?
Wow. Goid point.
#Ilovefreerepublic

Thanks for the link to Weaver.
God bless this man!!!
