Atlanta can keep John Lewis at home far away from the Inaugural events; he has nothing positive to contribute. Congressman Lewis is an embarrassment to the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia and the U.S. Congress.
Lead story today Else other Democrats join him in boycotting the inauguration. They can’t get enough of how divided the nation is., failing to acknowledge that Obama had everything to do with this during the past eight years.
Lewis is a prime example of “there is no fool like an old fool.”
He’s as stupid as that other Georgia congressman who said that Guam would tip over if we added more Navy personnel.
Let him stay home, and sulk and pout.
Call a waambulance for this crybaby. Wa wa.... wa wa.. wa wa here it comes.
Huge egos
Thin skins
He hasn't the ability to choose another option!
Lewis is 76 years old going on 3, there’s a condition that causes that and I hope he’s not suffering the onset of it.
No.
Those who declared him one of the Untouchables, certainly are.
Lewis can dish it but he can’t take it.

The GBI reports are by county, not congressional district. The majority of the 5th District is also the majority of Fulton County. The District includes a part of DeKalb and Clayton counties and excludes a small part of northern Fulton County.

Remind me, who bought all those rifles, pistols and ammunition the last 8 years? Was that Mr. Lewis’s constituents?
My only concern is that John Lewis should not be given unwarranted significance in the current context. Who cares if he doesn’t attend the inauguration, let all the ‘rats stay away if they want.
FIFY

Do you find anything relating to solving the inner city problems in his district?
Also, Diamond and Silk have a few words for him:

Lewis is on a roll. As a Demonicrat, Lewis has already demonstrated that he is a lying murdering traitor. Let's hope that following his trial, conviction and sentencing, Lewis can demonstrate his skill as a rope tester.
Great info!
Thanks for posting.
