So Johnny,
What happens if you don’t agree?
I watched this play out on the recorded video. John Lewis looked and acted like the idiot, buffoon he is. Sad for a once brave man that endured beating and harassment in the fight for civil rights. Poor man has now just become a lackey for failed POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! I hate to say it but after eyeing this episode Mr. Lewis is both a number one fool and moron from head to toe!!! What a loser!!! Sad!!!
He didn’t care? They were actually mocking him and disrespecting him, and he didn’t care?
It’s OK to keep the black man down, if it’s for his own good. [/s]
The stinky, rich white kids ran his D.C. politician ass off. LOL! Don’t rock the boat Johnny. Don’t rock the boat.
