I will say this: Trump would have been smarter to take the high road with his tweet response after Lewis called him illegitimate. Something like, “John Lewis, your district has high crime and high unemployment. I want to fix that - and you could help your constituents by putting divisiveness aside and joining me. If not, sad”

I believe the “shark talk” was another popular liberal in the House from New York City.

No chance for national office. Sasse’s political days I think are numbered. Any info on whether someone legitimate can primary him?

Yes, let us not forget MLK who denied the Divinity of Christ, who called soldiers fighting in Vietnam traitors, who took church money and used it for kinky sex with white prostitutes and kept in his inner circle communists & homosexuals. Mr. Lewis and his entourage came to Selma, Al. and disrupted the lives of law abiding & God fearing citizens with conservative values by fornicating & defecating in their front lawns. Time does whitewash history.

Lewis has a Lifetime “Get out of being a lying dolt” Card because of what he did back in the 60’s.

It’s like defending Lee Harvey Oswald for killing JFK because he once was a Marine.

Lewis wrongly attacked the “legitimacy’ of Donald John Trump our PRESIDENT? And yet he fails to address the “legitimacy” of over 85% of Black children that grow up in dire poverty without fathers! Is he concerned abut that “legitimacy”?

The Democrats aren’t the only ones who learned nothing from the election of Trump.

Distractions and disruptions. Neither Lewis nor Sasse are worth paying attention to. A train doesn’t need to worry about insects on the track.

Exactly. Trump should not have sent these Tweets. History is written by the winners.

No. He needs to beware. The Republican party and all its machinery are Trumps now.

Lewis represents a district that is 60% black.

...Trump would have been smarter to...


Everyone is always telling Trump what he should’ve done. Somehow, though he always sets the agenda by doing it his way. Don’t change, Donald.

I hope that Mr Trump has figured out that he has at least a few enemies in the Republican Party.Being a smart,savvy guy my guess is that he has.

Attacking Martin Luther King makes this thread look extremist and nutty. The issue is Sasse attacking Trump. Sass and his supporters will be happy if you make sasses critics look like opponents of Martin Luther King. I’m not. King was right about segregation and equal rights, and I didn’t start this thread to attack the civil rights movement. I started it to attack backstabber Sasse

“The liberal black GA. congressman ( lewis)that first came up with this claimed over 100,000,000 slaves were thrown overboard by slavers trying to avoid capture by British navel ships that were enforcing the empires ban on slavery. “

The absurdity of this deranged buffoon defies and credibility on any other matter!! What was he smokin?
