“John Lewis, bless his heart — it took courage to do what he did in his early life. What he has done now, he has turned himself to his enemy.”

Mason Weaver told Tucker Carlson Monday night that Georgia Democrat John Lewis is an “illegitimate congressman.”
“He has done nothing,” the former Black Panther told Carlson on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “John Lewis, bless his heart — it took courage to do what he did in his early life. What he has done now, he has turned himself to his enemy.”
Weaver compared Lewis to “a little girl being beaten by Daddy and joins Daddy,” and “a woman beaten by her husband who joins the husband.”
“He has joined the enemy.”

Weaver proclaimed that if Lewis is “a real hero, you stand up tomorrow morning and you look at the people and you apologize.”
“You say you tried to work with them — the Democratic Party has always been the party of abuse, always been the party of the Klan, the party that waged war to keep slaves — the party that’s always been the destruction of black people,” he continued. “Mr. Lewis, you have presided over the destruction of black America, and you owe us an apology.”
Weaver closed by noting that though Lewis has called Trump “the illegitimate president… John Lewis is an illegitimate congressman.”

This man is absolutely right.
It was Democrats that put that beating on John Lewis all those years ago.
I saw that interview, it was outstanding.

I call it Pragmatism, and recognition of Mutual Self Interest.
Something tells me Tucker might have a winning show.
“John Lewis, bless his heart — it took courage to do what he did in his early life. What he has done now, he has turned himself to his enemy.”
To be fair, the NOTHING that Democrats do is almost always better than the things that they actually want to do.
I’m fine when Democrats do nothing.
Congresscritters sould all be mandated to play a round every day. Two round every day if in leadership!
A whiff of napalm in the morning.
Naturally, “a round” is two words ... not one. ;)
LOL! He looked awe struck at what he was hearing. But, I’m sure he knew well in advance what Mr. Weaver was going to say. Thanks to Tucker for having him on.
looked like Tucker’s jaw was on the floor too; thanks for posting
It will be interesting to watch in the coming years to see if more, shall we say, “traditionally Democrat” people start speaking out like this. It almost seems like another Trump effect phenomenon. They know there’s finally someone on the Repub side who isn’t going to fold like a cheap suit if someone uses the “r” word against him, so maybe they’ll feel more comfortable knowing someone has their back when the howls of “uncle Tom” start.
Great screen shot...How apropos
Wow is right! Ouch!
Weaver is right.
Stockholm syndrome, but for money, prestige and fame.
