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

And no, his history as a civil rights activist doesn’t give him special rights to be exempt from criticism.

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....

He should take is own advice and focus on his job.

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.

Even if Trump is right he should lighten up on the tit for tats.

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.

Look at the headline. The "civil rights icon" calls Trump's presidency illegitimate, but when Trump responds, HE is said to be "attacking."

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?"

Exactly. It's how you deal with bullies. Smack 'em. Smack 'em back hard. I wonder if Farkus bothered Ralphie afterwards...

I took a look at the district Rep. Lewis is from and it has its crime issues.

President-Elect Trump is spot on.

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