On Monday afternoon, reporters stationed inside Trump Tower begged with Martin Luther King III to attack President-elect Trump over tweets concerning Democratic Congressman John Lewis (Ga.) following a meeting on the day honoring King’s father Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

King began by stating that he and Trump had “a very constructive meeting” with most of the focus being on voting rights, but the topic shifted to Lewis when reporters interjected with questions.

ABC correspondent Tom Llamas snuck in the first pathetic question baiting King into blasting Trump: “Mr. King, as you know, Representative Lewis still has the scars from the March on Selma. Were you offended by the President-elect's tweet that Representative Lewis is all talk and no action?”

King responded by stating the Lewis is, like “many others,” a “bridge builder” but added that “in the heat of emotion, a lot of things get said on both sides.”

50+ years and the scars still aren't healed?... Geeze, this guy must've bruised like a banana.

I guess this is like Macho Grande - they will never be over it. I hope he doesn't have a drinking problem.

A lying hack who always looks like he’s sucking on a lemon. How much money has he stolen from the treasury, I wonder?

Representative Lewis is one of the few congressman actually caught in a public lie. He never regained his credibility.

Listening to his denial of Trump's legitimacy as the elected President shows how out of touch Mr. Lewis is.

Trump needs to be a hell of a lot harder on the media in my opinion. No access to the WH, in fact just completely cut them off altogether.

Hey! It's OK! Black Democrats are allowed to lie. They're not required to be honest. Or intelligent.
