Oh, these poor lil Snowflake “victims”

My gosh, Lewis, how’d you EVER survive the Good Ol “Civil Rights” Daze with such a thin, black skin? I mean, you’re supposed to be a Tough Guy Hero, now look at you.

But then again, you’re probably as big a fraud as King and the rest

“Lift Every Voice.”

And yet he complains when people lift their voice?

Saying the Presidents name is now considered harassment?

Even though this guy is a real communist moron he is an an old man and not very dangerous.

Save the taunting for more serious threats.

Well, there you go! The guy said, "Trump!" A racist remark if ever I heard one.
Cue Monty Python and the Holy Grail and bring on the knights who say "nnni! nnni!"

One person happens to yell ‘Trump!’ in Lewis’s general direction, and he feels threatened? Tell that to the Trump supporters who were followed out to the parking lot by a cursing, shrieking group of Antifa and BLMs. Except those people would block your way, hoping to spark a confrontation that they could film.

What's the matter John, couldn't Sheila Jackson Lee get somebody bounced so you could ride in First Class?
