Lewis did good For the world in the sixties. He was a political hack for the past two decades. Skipped every republican inauguration out of hatred. He was not a hero or even a decent person.

It is a no win situation for Trump...Lewis parlayed his civil rights activities into just another typical race baiter living large on the oppression of his fellow blacks ....typical demonrat...

Cancel Culture’s Curious Passes! (like with AP!)

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.” - George Orwell, 1984

(CU News) - The originally peaceful BLM protest voices have morphed and now extended into Europe with the heavy influx of groups similar to Antifa. In Europe, we continue to see the same inconsistency with regards to the removal of historical figures and stories. It’s an interesting dynamic that’s clearly been overtaken by a political movement lurking in the background. If the protests were indeed about equality and civil rights, would these corporations be exempt knowing their exclusive relationships with the NAZI Party or ongoing corruptible behaviors?

Is this writing intended to promote protests? No. The exclusion isn’t unintentional or merely an oversight by the protesters. With that being understood, we are left with no worries on that half of the table. Let’s take a look at some of the companies with worrisome histories of poor choices related to social justice.

The first example is one of the most guarded abuses of trust in modern times..

AP News Agency

AP provides much of the basic, on-the-ground-reporting and images for a large portion of the news that you now read and watch. They were also NAZI collaborators.

Most international news organizations withdrew from Germany during the NAZI years, but the AP remained — and fired all their local Jewish staff along the way. As early as the mid 1930s, AP began refusing to publish images depicting the discrimination against Jews in Germany.

The AP knowingly sold images of Jews from inside Germany and around the world to be used in anti-semitic propaganda. They were also the leading supplier of images for a propaganda book called The Jews in the USA, and in third place among suppliers of photos for the anti-semitic book The Subhuman.

The AP also sold images from Germany to the rest of the world. These images could only leave the country after being inspected by senior SS members. As a result, the AP was publishing images that showed NAZI members as heroic leaders and Jews as subhuman cowards.

This collaboration with the German government was unprecedented for a foreign news press service and contributed to NAZI propaganda both within and outside of Germany.

John Lewis Surrendered to the KKK when MLK jr was killed, he then spent his whole life trying to keep the Black Population on the Demonrat Plantation and secure their future by being enslaved in DEPENDENCE!!!

There’s an old saying: “Nothing but good about the dead.”

For all of DJT’s presidency Lewis was prejudiced, vindictive and hateful towards him. Since there was no good, Trump chose nothing. To do otherwise would just be hypocritical, and Trump is not a hypocrite.

Just look at the way the demonrats treated McCain in life vs death. It’s enough to turn your stomach.

I suspect a lot of these leftists are pissed off that Trump didn't give Lewis' family and the Democratic leadership in Congress the opportunity to "disinvite" him.

I suspect you are exactly right. The @$$press had to be satisfied with this mild hit piece rather than a major "How Dare He?" hit piece.

It was clear Trump would not have been welcomed there by Lewis’ family or associates.

Only a complete a-hole would crash a funeral where he’s not welcome and ruin it for the family.

We have seen Democrat politicians do so in the past however.

Lewis breezily compared McCain to George Wallace for political points. Now look at these GOP cowards kneel before for his corpse. They don’t call the GOP the Surrender Party for nothing.

It’s almost impossible for video to capture an event that never happened.

The Congressional Black Caucus demanded that Trump not attend.

Then the Left complains when Trump accommodates their request.

Lewis will be another air fart in history by next week. May he Rest In Peace with Margaret Sanger.
