Lewis was fighting for civil rights alongside MLK. I respect him for that not for being a race baiting Congress roach.

In a sane world he would retire tomorrow.

Agree completely. I can respect his work for civil rights, without endorsing his politics in Congress.

I pray for his health as he and his family go through these difficult times.

He’s been coasting on that for the last 50 years and ended being a Hypocrite.

Perhaps you have forgotten about the incident during the anti-Obamacare rally where he said racial epithets were shouted at him and he was spat upon by one of the protestors? Video proved both to be lies. He is one of the worst race-baiters.

Get informed or GTFO,

This slug accused the Tea Party of spitting on him and using racial slurs against him... proven to be a liar

Have to disagree on that. He has done plenty of baiting.

Actually, he is exactly that. Remember, Lewis was the one who falsely claimed Tea Partiers spit at him on the House steps. He’s also been right there siding and abetting the “Trump is a racist” narrative.

You forgot that this race baiting congressional roach accused Tea Partiers of spitting on him and calling him a n***** during one of the demonstrations against the way they were ramming bammycare down our throats?

Which was never proven to be true on ANY of the videos taken of that.

Andrew Breitbart even offered $100k for a video of it happening but none was ever produced.

I guess I don’t hold this POS in the same sentimental value as you because of that but that’s just me....

.....um, actually he has been a regular race-baiting congressional roach, similar to Elijah Cummings. The fake news deifies Lewis because of his association with MLK.

He refused to attend Trump’s inauguration saying that he was an illegitimate President, and then claimed that it was the first time he’d missed an Inauguration, but he lied, because he hadn’t attended George W. Bush’s either...for the same reason. And back on March 20, 2010 as the Congressional Black Caucus walked through a group of Tea Party members at the Capitol Building, he claimed racial slurs were said towards the group. It was all B.S.

His current incarnation betrays everything MLK stood for.

When his time is up, it will be Satan making the claim on his soul. Contracts and all, you know.
