Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) responded to an attack from President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday by urging Democrats in a fundraising email to stand up to Trump.

“Today Donald Trump attacked me on Twitter. He said that I’m ‘all talk’ and ‘no action,’” Lewis wrote in the letter from the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

“I’ve been beaten, bloody, tear-gassed, fighting for what’s right for America. I’ve marched at Selma with Dr. King. Sometimes that’s what it takes to move our country in the right direction," the letter continued.

I posted the same thought on a Discussion Board earlier today and the Libs went ballistic.

You know, because I’m a Bigot or something.

Well, good luck with that. Obama’s been naked for the last eight years, and they haven’t noticed it yet.

Get your government out of the way.
Welfare is no way to live a life.

“...the team of Trump and Carson will accomplish more for the black family than Lewis has in his many years.”

Hey John, the question is, “What have you done
for me lately?”.

Oh, and if there is injustice, and Trump isn’t
President yet...then it’s Obama’s FAULT.

Between 2000 and 2013, poverty in Atlanta’s suburbs had the highest rate of change of any metro region of its size.

Atlanta's black population lives principally in the region's suburbs, leading to a rise in abandoned properties in historically black neighborhoods in the city's center.

Abernathy wrote And the Walls Came Tumbling Down: An Autobiography, where he described some of MLK's womanizing.

He also made some talk shows and told the truth about Jesse Jackson the day MLK was shot. MLK was on a balcony and Jackson was down in the parking lot and ran away when MLK was killed. Jackson smeared chicken blood on his shirt and claimed he was on the balcony and cradled MLK as he died.

Post this to really drive them insane!

The slave overseers, the Black Caucus members like Lewis are really upset! They don't want their voters free and working.

note how the Russian ‘hacking’ story has been relegated to second tier because of this - Trump knows what he’s doing!

I think the so-called "Russian hacking" story was already dying on its own. Everyone knew the Russians didn't "hack the election" and that the whole thing was BS.

Not suggesting Trump back down, just saying he's taking the Dims' bait.

To me it would be smarter for Trump to simply dismiss Lewis. Say he won't respond to attempted sucker-punches from geriatric congressmen.
