Former President Barack Obama used his eulogy at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to call for an end to the Senate filibuster to pass Democrats’ new legislation on voting reform.
Obama said that Republicans had imitated Jim Crow-era restrictions on voting rights, which Lewis marched against, by passing state voter ID laws and other measures that conservatives argue prevent voter fraud.
“And if all this takes is ending the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that’s what we should do.”
Without mentioning Donald Trump by name, Obama likened the president to segregationist Democrat Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, and compared federal law enforcement officers to the police who beat civil rights marchers across the South.
He accused the government of “sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.”

Leave it to that jackass muslim to make a funeral political.
its been reported that Obammy has been pounding the booze hard over the last few years, drunk calling former aides, etc

Note to Odungo: Drop dead, you decrepit disease-raddled son of a whore. And please make it soon.
Its all about the timing my friend....at a funeral...really? About as tacky and distasteful as you can get IMO.
The democrats haven’t had such an opportunity since wellstone!
A mean, angry racist black man dies and they MUST stand on his coffin to make political points!
Never let a crisis go to waste...
It was the Wellstone funeRALLY all over again!
He sho did have that fake black dialect goin at the funeral today.
You mean the “Magic Negro” doesn’t talk like that at Martha’s Vineyard ?
If only we could filibuster Obama...
Yes he did. His "eulogy" was a steaming pile o' sh*t, too.
Do it for Pauuuuuul!!!!!!
Do it for Pauuuuuul!!!!!!
Hey Mitch - Might as well end filibuster NOW. Enjoy it for 5 months at least.
Or a funeral.
That’s why he gets the title “Most Racist, Divisive President Ever“.
So what.... get rid of every high-stakes personal responsibity formal transaction that requires photo identification? WTF? Might as well get rid of ID for alcohol, cigs, prescriptions, bank accounts, loans of any sort....You get the picture! Not requiring ID for voting is a scam setup for election rigging and EVERYONE knows it!
Just GO AWAY you muslim scum puke!
I’m never surprised when a Democrat uses a memorial for politics
Should I assume John Lewis was a Communist?
Dims CANNOT attend a funeral without making the funeral political and politically divisive. They are unable to ever restrain their politics. With them it is politics 24/7/365 and regardless of venue or context.
We KNEW that, the RINOS ignored and that is why RINOS keep losing.
