"I don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president," Lewis said.

John Lewis was stupid and intemperate in questioning the legitimacy of the Trump Presidency. He got a befitting response.

Is that the same “civil rights icon” who lied about being spit on by TEA partiers and held Sessions’ hand at a Selma rally? Just checking....
John Lewis was wrong. Bigly.
Exactly how does responding to a radical leftist, via Twitter, stop DJT from focusing on his job? Defeating the Left is his primary job, and for the first time in my life we have a man who is capable of doing that.
If Trump had listened to the likes of you, he never would have won.
Trump violates rule book. Fails to whimper and surrender to liberal assaults!
Oh, the hupersonity!
the dems gunna learn if they attack trump he gunna hit back - i love it, it’s refreshing
He should take is own advice and focus on his job.
Exactly! That tactic worked so well for Bush and all the previous Republicans! DemocRATs respect it!
Oh, wait.
Some punk comes up to the class strongman and slaps him in the face, kicks him in the shin, and spits on him. Then, when the strongman punches the wimp out, he is accused of assault.
The bias never stops.
By the way, I've heard this "icon" label from several sources. To whom exactly is John Freakin' Lewis an "icon?"

There, I corrected for the journoylist.

A perfect illustration.

Kate Steinle had civil rights too.

Lewis was never an “icon.” He was just in the right place at the right time. Just a hanger-on.
