For the left, everything is an event that can be turned into a political benefit.

And none of the attendees have to self-quarantine after returning from the er...funeral.

Note to loved ones being denied a funeral for their dead family or friends: Just call it a John Lewis memorial service. Per the powers that be, that designation confers WuFlu immunity.

John Lewis Funeral Was a Political Event

Thank you Captain Obvious.

Took forever to get that old man in the hole.

[Kaslin]

It sure did.

For practical purposes, if the guy at the podium is a minister or family member....it’s a funeral. If it’s any political figure....it’s not a funeral. I don’t how it’d be classified if it were a 3rd Baseman from the Cubs, or a Tony Robbins-like character.

Sorry but John Lewis was no hero or paragon of virtue. Did he ever raise his voice to object to the wholesale killing of pre born black lives? Did he ever object when the liberals purposely situated their abortion clinics in black neighborhoods? Did he ever refuse to accept the liberal’s money?

Anybody see Dubya stand, clap, and cheer or did they exit before all the campaigning started ?

Just like that senator’s funeral years back turned into a fiasco in the fall of 2002 for Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone.

[GaltMeister]

A 2 week travelling political rally, just like McCain’s funeral.

[Kaslin]

I didn’t watch any of it. As a matter of fact I didn’t even watch Fox News which I normally watch. I watched game shows on the Game show channel, or old TV shows like The Virginian, Chips, Knight Rider, etc

The inappropriateness of the “eulogy” was lost on the audience who gave the Messiah lavish applause, including standing Os.

The world has changed during various time periods since its
beginning and will continue until the end.

Human interaction has been a part of the process. How the
interaction evolves sets the course/landscape for some period
of time.

Humans have a short life span here in the evolving process.
Make the best of it. We can agree or disagree to change and
hopefully improve the world.

Not all will agree upon the change or ways to implement it. JMO

It’s funny to see how highly these politicians think of themselves while the vast majority of Americans think they are scum. The last thing these lowlifes want is for Americans to come together and unite. They soil themselves at the thought of Americans uniting against them. That’s what needs to happen.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Wellstone Memorial never ends with these people.

[SkyDancer]

They turn every funeral into a hate rage towards conservatives and Republicans and pretty much everything to do with America.

What was even sadder than the politicized funeral service was the applause from attendees, who apparently believe every word that comes from President Obama's mouth, though none of this kind of talk improves a single life. It makes one wonder why so many African Americans continue to be loyal to the Democratic Party.Sad and despicable. Their lust for power knows no boundaries.

Well rehearsed because of George Floyd
