Journalists piled on criticism after President-elect Trump shot back at Democratic Rep. John Lewis for questioning the legitimacy of the election, many calling attention to the fact that Lewis is a civil rights icon and seemingly ignoring the fact that Trump does not mention race in his tweets.
"Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to......mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results," Trump tweeted early Saturday. "All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!"
Almost immediately Trump was decried by members of the media for "insulting" the black Georgia lawmaker.

Handsome devil, isn’t he?
Name: John L Lewis
Occupation: Overseer, Democrat Welfare Plantation
Any questions?
Lewis’ civil rights record dates from more than fifty years ago. Hell, that’s even before John McCain let himself get captured by the commies.
This clown is an ancient fool. Every day the media barks at Trump and hauls out the same losers expecting us to scrape and bow to them. These idiots were slamming Reagan, and the press acts like this is new and unique.
He deserves insulting. He is a low IQ moron.
Who cares?
Err - I goofed there - John L Lewis was the famous 20th century Labor Leader.
This one is John Robert Lewis, Congressman, (Overseer) Democrat Welfare Plantation
Trump mentioned nothing about Lewis’s Civil Rights record.
He called Lewis out on the out of control violence in Lewis’s district.
Why doesn’t the MSM research and report on the overwhelming violence
in Lewis’s district?
Doing something honorable or memorable in your life doesn’t mean you should be given a pass when you behave like an a$$hole..
LEMONS !!!!!!
Are they mentioning that Lewis LIED and said TEA party people spit on him as he walked past them in such a way as to invite it and NO ONE SPIT ON HIM?
Every time I see him it makes me want to the movie Planet of the Apes again.
Never thought the best four years of my life would start at 48 :)
And I never heard of this “icon”.
#### him.
What John Lewis fought for in the 1960’s and what he is fighting for now are two very different things.
>> the fact that Lewis is a civil rights icon
Distributor of the Spoils to the Gibsmedats?
Sooooo beyond tired of the main stream media and its political party agenda.
