Didn't think he was the "true elected president". Unprecedented, huh?
Not only was it John Lewis who picked the fight with Donald Trump - regardless of what you keep hearing to the contrary - but he pulled a fast one on you with the claim that he’s never done it before.
First time Lewis has ever missed an inauguration since he was elected to Congress in 1986, is that right? Totally unprecedented, and all because of the unique awfulness of Donald Trump, yes?
Saw that. Lewis just trying to make himself relevant.
The buses weren’t running that day.
(or is that...stool...???)
did you know John Kerry Lewis marched in the civil rights era?
He would have boycotted Mitt too if Mitt knew how to win elections! Why doesn’t he just say it openly, Republicans are not legitimate leaders. I think it’s quite appalling that you talk about this fool in the same breath as Dr. MLK Jr. King probably had to fight tooth and nail to get these clowns to follow him without fighting which is why KING is to be lauded not these clowns. They are just living off of his memory they are not leaders like he was. If Trump is a great President and turns this around it will be funny in 20 years to here people like Rubio and Jeb talk about him and how they worked with him (just like people do with Reagan). Politicians being politicians is all
He is too stupid to figure out that he could be caught in that lie. And it is a lie; you don’t forget decisions like that. He chose the glory of getting attention by boycotting both inaugurations and he got caught.
But he is an icon, and icons can do no wrong. If I heard he is a civil rights icon once, I heard it a dozen times. The “icon” handle is tied to him with a very short rope.
So, add "liar" to the list.
He and Marion Barry were having a crack discussion; it was just smoking! And he just couldn’t tear himself away...
He does what the leader of his party tells him to do.
Nancy Pelosi told him she needed him to march down the street, he did it.
Boss don't tell him to do something, he don't do something.
We need an age limit on elected officials. This guy is senile
He is a PITA. Caught in a lie saying conservatives spat on him. It was false; proven by video tapes. Obnoxious. Needs to retire.
Hmmm.... it figures. He was born in Troy Alabama in 1940 and the son of two sharecroppers. My daddy was the son of two sharecroppers in Clinton South Carolina. I gather that he came from Alabama along with MLK in the early 60s to Georgia. I was born at Crawford W. Long Hospital in 1950, and I was here growing up amidst all that.
Outside of the service (68-76) I have remained here in Georgia, not just to be where white people are and in an area where a concentrated 600,000 of them could vote for me, but because this is my home. Not a place where I could use my status of whatever fashion to denigrate and delegitimize a new President that offers some measure of solution to this political disaster of which we have been the unfortunate recipients.
Shame on him. Shame on him.
Pretty seamless record. No delegitimized Presidents, ever.
But both Dubya and The Donald WERE elected by legitimate means. There was a recognized vote, and each won their respective elections.
As long as we are diving into alternate history.....
If Slick had resigned from the Presidency when presented with the threat of impeachment, as Nixon had, then Al Gore would have ascended to the Presidency, and would have been the incumbent, with all its inherent advantages, and would have handily defeated Dubya in 2000.
Didn’t happen that way. All the oxygen in the room got breathed up by the unwillingness of Slick to step aside at the appropriate moment.
Surely that is evidence of RACISM!
Reckon he didn’t want to get all dressed up and sit in the cold....
The MSM were all in lockstep.
I must have heard the term "icon" 6 times, in a report that was 2 minutes long.
I'd laugh at the liberals who swallow this...but unfortunately they're allowed to vote.
Trump is about to take a pledge to protect the office of the presidency. He promises to defend the constitution. And he will hold the most important constitutional office. So he is obligated to fight Lewis. Its the oath. Lewis is not supporting his oath. He is not supporting the constitution. He is putting his partisan loyalty before his oath and the constitution.
I’ve known some racists who voted for Obama then started calling people racists who didn’t like him.
