Hey Bert my only answer to you is I don’t deal with small minded people. So go back in the closet and play with yourself.

“ Stop that. Don’t be a liberal who spews intolerance.“

I’m not a liberal.

I’m not “spewing intolerance”. I’ve responded to more than one of Doodledawgs DU style posts.

And I really don’t care a bit about your demands to “Stop that”.

” But this is politics and you try and look like the bigger man to score points. Trump couldn’t do that.”:

You want him to take a knee.

You have to be nearly 60 years old to have a memory of MLK while he was alive. Lewis had similar mannerisms and I think that is in party why he was noted. He was a minor figure in the Civil Rights period. His longevity and political career gave him an oversized reputation.

The only people who get upset are the people who never would vote for him, nor any Republican, for that matter.

Lewis hated Trump. He would not have wanted Trump at his funeral. Trump was respecting his wishes.

Bingo! Only an asshat would show up at a funeral where he's not wanted and create additional stress and complications for the family.

I've seen Democrat politicians do it often.

Trump hated Lewis and Lewis hated Trump

I doubt if Trump cared one way or the other about John Lewis, that is until Lewis turned into a drama queen and started boycotting Trump's inauguration and SOTU speeches for no good reason.
Trump is not a politician. However calls it as it is.
John Lewis can go to the devil as far as I am concerned.

My bigger question is why Trump even bothered to do an interview for “Axios on HBO.”

It shows pres. Trump will take on hard interviews, which indirectly reminds people that Biden is AWOL from any interviews easy or hard.

Good for Trump for not caving into the democrat and media hero worship of their liberal Saint-of-the-Month. In a year not even democrats will remember Lewis or anything he did.

People have already forgotten Lewis’ name. He was a nobody in Congress and like all the others, used congress to enrich himself.

I don’t blame Trump one bit. Can you imagine the shit Trump would have had to endure to go to that racists funeral. By the way, who paid for that extravaganza?

The President is being very polite.

If you have nothing good to say. Then say nothing.

Not to kick dirt on the deceased, but over his career in Congress John Lewis managed to say some of the STOOOOOOOOOPIDEST things I have ever heard.

Trump is going to take any interview from anybody. He is going to flood the zone to highlight the fact that Biden is taking none. Openly deal with hostile interviewers to remind people that Joe won't do likewise.

“debate will be filled with nothing but gotcha questions like this”

Won’t Trump be able to confront Biden directly in the debates?

John Lewis was a run of the mill hardcore Leftist Democrat. There was nothing he would not stoop to in order to further his political ends.

-And Trump will fall into the trap every time.-

Sent Trump an email and tell him you will take care of things for him.
