The old commie bastard gets eaten by an older commie bastard.
I was involved in the civil rights movement. I never saw Bernie Sanders OR Rep. John Lewis.
Does anyone really care as to who was or was not seen during that start of Western disintegration?
I don’t think the Millennial generation really cares about these old Civil Rights/Feminist fossils!
Bernie is too old too white too Jewish to win a general election.
Y’all are missing the point.
Get your popcorn and your favorite beverage, then sit back and watch Democrats eat their own.
John Lewis got brain damage from the head-bashing he got from democrats in the 1960’s, and now he’s suffering Stockholm Syndrome.
he was the nerdy looking Jewish kid who always hung out with Brian Williams
I truly hate to defend Bernie in any way, but this is just plain dumb. Is John Lewis suggesting that his personal acquaintance (or lack thereof) with someone 50+ years ago in a movement that involved tens of thousands of people is somehow significant? Give me a break.
He didn’t see Hillary Rodham either.
DON’T EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CLINTON MACHINE.
HERE WE’VE GOT LEWIS COMING OUT TO SHILL FOR HER, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HUMBLY PAINTING HIMSELF AS A HERO. WHO’S THE BIGGER PHONY, HE OR SHE...
THE GOP IS GOING TO HAVE TO MUSTER UP THE MOST FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE AGAINST HER, SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO VERBALLY BODY SLAM HER AND NOT LET GO.
TO ME, THERE’S ONLY ONE WITH THAT SKILL.
Quite possible. Bernie lives in a place where he never, ever has to see a black person. Coincidence, or common sense?
All the same to me...
Bernie was honey mooning in the Soviet Union. In other words Bernie was with his people the Commies.
The big controversy was whether a picture of Bernie shown in a campaign commercial where is he was at meeting was him or not. What a crock, this is an issue? Just shows how cynical and hypocritical the MSM, Lewis and the Clinton Campaign really are.
That’s funny, I never saw the current Republican front-runner in any of the “conservative movement” fights of the last quarter century either.
Oh, that’s right. He was busy funding our most virulent Democrat enemies.
Two more controversies to add to this:
1) Bernie and anti-Bernie forces are fighting over photos of 1960s meetings. Is it Bernie or isn't it?
2) John Lewis has a habit of saying things that aren't true and remembering things that didn't happen. Or at least of making highly ambiguous statements.
When he said that he didn't see Sanders in the 1960s, he said that he did see Bill and Hillary. Back in the Sixties? Protesting for Black rights? It's anybody's guess what Lewis meant, but what you might take him to mean -- he saw the Clintons on the frontlines of the conflict -- almost certainly isn't true.
But the point here is to throw doubt over Bernie Sanders and every little bit helps. Democrats forget the actual claims, but absorb the impression Lewis is trying to create.
“I was there. I was in the back. I was the guy in the headgear, making the tuna fish sandwiches. Plus I had terrible dust allergies. I needed to stay home from some of those marches. Also the humidity acted up my asthma.” - Bernie
