I only wish Charlton Heston were still alive to throw it right back in Lewis’ face.

Heston marched with Dr. King.

As a H ouse member, should Lewis be exempt from criticism in how he represents his district?

Larger ears and he could be ferengi.

Dems are playing the race card? I’m shocked! Some old coot that should’ve been retired (voted out of office) two decades ago says something offensive about the President, and people bring up the fact that he walked down a street as a reason to not respond. Ridiculous. And, as the President said: SAD.

[Mr. Jeeves]

A "civil rights record" does not indemnify any politician against the consequences of shooting off his mouth in the future.

Whatever good Lewis once did has long since been overshadowed by his fanatical devotion to collectivism.

“Media throw John Lewis’ civil rights record in Trump’s face”

Then he should know better than to be disrespectful to an incoming president.

That photo is priceless and worth a million words directed at John Lewis.

I hope someone who knows how sends it to Drudge, Hannity, O'Reilly and Tucker immediately!

No way! Ferengi’s believe in capitalism.

Cut the crap. Trump said nothing about Lewis’s civil rights record and he said nothing about Lewis until Lewis said Trump is illegitimate. If you dish you gotta take it. Suck it up Lewis. Atlanta does suck and you’ve done nothing about it.

This is the exact same garbage the Democrats pulled with Khizr Khan. Like Lewis, Khan criticizes Trump and then runs and hides when Trump replies. Khan hid behind his dead son, Lewis hides behind ‘60’s civil rights. Both dish it and can’t take it.

I noticed the “Never Trumpers” McMullin and B. Kristol were on twitter bashing Trump about this big time today. They are so despicable.

[tired&retired]

If Lewis were an “Icon” of the civil rights movement, there would be something deeply wrong with it.

God told us not to worship idols.. That includes Icons.

[windsorknot]

So what? His "civil rights record" is all he has going for him.

[Ray76]

They should have been censured.

>> Occupation: Overseer, Democrat Welfare Plantation <<

Is this what leftists would call an Uncle Tom?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I’d have to say, for both men...”when it is politically convenient.”

[jimjohn]

SOLUTION for Mr. Trump: Hit him again.

That’s a fact. On my way to boot camp, got to talking to the guy next to me and circumstances us being here. I was drafted. He said: “the judge said....”

[stylin19a]

still, he was draft eligible until 1966 -I wonder why he wasn’t drafted.
