GOP-Hating Rep. John Lewis Didn’t Pay His Real Estate Taxes

Instead of finding fault with the new president, maybe Rep. John Lewis should worry about paying his real estate taxes. The well-paid congressman didn’t pay taxes on his nearly $1 million posh D.C. townhouse on Capital Hill.

Rep. Lewis said Donald Trump isn’t a “legitimate” president, same thing he said about George Bush, but he’s not a legitimate taxpayer.

Public records show he avoided paying property taxes on his DC townhouse at 219 3rd Street SE on Capitol Hill, Got News reported. Click the link for Got News to see the documentation.

It’s a beautiful home! Not cheap!

When a black man/woman starts using “racism” as an argument and makes a lot of noise, whether he/she is a politician or person of note, investigate their personal ethics or financial situation because most of the time they are dirty and using the guise of racism to deflect interest from their personal shortcomings.

That’s his share of reparations and his annual “icon fee.” You can’t expect a man to be an icon for free.

I've noticed the Trump and "Civil Rights Icon" story is going away. This Freeloader Lewis does not want to open a can of worms into his goings ons. Just another corrupt Rat.

“Property taxes is racis.”

By not paying them, he’s showing us that he’s going to take his “reparations” from the other DC property owners. People like him think that they are “due” all sorts of “breaks” as recompense for slavery and their “work” to bring better lives to their people. They are first in line to believe their own BS!

The fact they are paid every year is correct....I’d like to know who is paying them.

Gee! Doesn’t he want to give HIS fair share? I mean ...to pay for all the ‘free stuff’ he campaigned on?

How do you buy votes if you don’t spend any money?
