It’s all about getting Donald Trump to bend the knee to his worst enemies. Lewis went from being a civil rights “icon” to being a nasty Democrat partisan and Leftist ideologue.

Here’s the real tale, folks. Millions of Americans and people from all over the world attended or paid their respects & honor, at the funerals of POTUS, John F. Kennedy & POTUS, Ronald Reagan.

The recent passing of Barbara Bush, G.H.W. Bush, John McCain and John Lewis drew few onlookers or roadside crowds of mourning Americans. Why? You reap what you sow in this life. This trend will continue for certain people who are in love with themselves, but who are not so great as their personal ego!!! Go figure it out!!! The answers are before you!!!

Lewis died the 17th of the month..
This event of taking a casket on a tour of different states is pure nonsense, the deceased has NO IDEA of what is going on...and there five days funeral service are very over done.. WILL we be told the casket contained a box of ashes, his cremated remains, He had one son, no mention of any grand kids at all, no mention I heard, of sisters or brothers.. time to bury the casket..

Soon be time for Carter's Tour, then Billy’ Boy, and on and on it goes...
DEATH IS FINAL ...THE END.
LEWIS WAS PAID BY TAX PAYERS UNTIL HIS LAST BREATH...
ENOUGH SAID...

JANUARY 16, 2017... Rep. John Lewis declared he would boycott Trump’s inauguration because he doesn’t see President-elect Trump as a “legitimate” president..” Lewis told NBC News.

JANUARY 30, 2018...Rep. John Lewis was among 'the first' Democratic lawmakers who said they would not be attending the 'Presidents First State of the Union address'.

September 24, 2019... Lewis....."I've never been supportive of this so-called president. Before he was inaugurated I said he was not legitimate.".....We have a ‘Moral Obligation’ To Impeach Trump."

I like that you included “almost” in there. So true. The “Stuff that Never Happened” file only grows.

I am looking forward to NOT attending Nancy Pelosi’s funeral. (If I misspelled her name, tough sugar!)

This is along the line of your ex wife dies and a couple of your kids request you not attend the funeral to ‘keep the peace’, then - after the fact - have them all come out and call you a heartless SOB who wouldn’t even show up at their mother’s funeral.

The ‘higher up’ the totem pole, the worse it looks especially when you were respecting THEIR wishes (be it only a couple doesn’t matter)

The White House did not respond to questions about why the president did not attend.

Because he hated Lewis and Lewis hated him. What more reason does he need?

Lewis is the poster child for the reprobate mind.

The only thing I recall Lewis actually led was this childish 'sit-in'

on the Congressional floor because they didn't get their way on gun control.

Lewis was just another partisan trouble maker who treated Trump like crap. I don’t blame Trump one damn bit. I say good riddance.

Georgia Democrats have selected state Sen. Nikema Williams, chair of the state Democrate party, to replace Rep. John Lewis on the ballot in November.....out of 131 applications for the spot.....her husband was Lewis's aide.

The Republican nominee 'Angela Stanton-King', who announced her candidacy to challenge Lewis for Georgia’s 5th Congressional District seat in March.....Stanton-King is the goddaughter of Alveda King, a niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a socially conservative activist.

Lewis was a POS and house “N” for Pelosi. I wasn’t alive for what he did in the 60’s but I know he was vile politician.

He crossed a bridge with MLK. Then he crossed the street in DC with bags filled with millions of dollars that were suppose to go to his district. Instead of helping the people Lewis filled his pockets and his cronies pockets with the money. Typical democrat.

Regular folks cannot have a funeral for a loved one who died during era of covid.

Why are the congress critters so important that they can gather and mingle and risk death, just to virtue signal bout the death of a communist

Again, Trump did the right and appropriate thing. True leader, calling out the nasty hypocrites and not playing their pretend games.
