Lewis suggests Trump wants to return nation to pre-civil rights era
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 15, 2017 | Keith Koffler

"Today, Donald Trump attacked me on Twitter. He said that I'm 'all talk' and 'no action,'" Lewis wrote in a fundraising email sent out by the Democratic National Committee. "Some leaders reject decades of progress and want to return to the dark past, when the power of law was used to deny the freedoms protected by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and its Amendments," he wrote. "We need leaders who will stand up and speak up and speak out for Americans, not someone who will work against us. Not someone who will move us backwards.

Hey Mr. Potatohead (Lewis)

Trump has called you out.

What exactly have you done for the past 30 years?

Same old tired racist rhetoric from the same old tired Dems. It is all they have. And ironically, it is from the party of the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, and just about all racist evils since the Civil War.

One note and tone deaf is no way to go through life.

I hate to see a good man being used like this. He is old, he is being used.

Americans suggest Lewis is a liar, a scumbag and a con artist.

How fascinating it is to watch a nervous breakdown in public that reveals an evil behind this despicable man, whose admirable behavior in his youth is now oversadowed by his racism and anti-American, anti-freedom Communism in hiw old age. His ugliness on the exterior mirrors the evil in his soul.

The lies and exaggerations of these lunatics just shows how selfish and power mad they are

Lewis threw out the politics card. Trump replied with “clean up you backyard”. Lewis throws out the race card. Trump says “Let’s work to clean up your backyard”.

Lewis throws out the race card again

He is certified nuts. No “icon” in any reasonable person’s book. In fact, he’s the poster child of what’s wrong with American politicians. Self centered and ignorant

Such ugliness has to have an internal source.

That’s what the Democrat Party has been saying about Republicans since at least the 60’s.

We need leaders who will stand up and speak up and speak out for Americans, not someone who will work against us. Not someone who will move us backwards.

That is EXACTLY why we voted for Trump. You stated the EXACT reason he made it to the presidency. YOU, the Democrats, the media and many republican Congressmen and women have been standing up only for minorities (and way beyond reason), foreigners and muslims in particular. That is NEVER going to work here until you kill all of us. Get that through your head, or back off. Do NOT start something you can't finish, John Lewis.

Especially when you have a guy who totally mocks and fires back at your accusations and rants.

How about a district wide review of the progress made under his congressional term ?

Lewis is about as stupid as that other Georgia congressman who thought Guam would tip over if we added any more Navy personnel.

It appears to me that Lewis has a bad case of dementia. Time for the rubber room.
