Politicians like Lewis have much to lose if President Elect Trump succeeds in improving the lives of millions of African Americans and all Americans without democrat socialist tactics. Safety, security, jobs, and a strong economy is what all Americans really desire.

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.

Politicians like Lewis have much to lose if President Elect Trump succeeds in improving the lives of millions of African Americans and all Americans without democrat socialist tactics.

"There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."

--Booker T. Washington, 1911

I'd say John Lewis is exactly the kind of guy Mr. Washington was talking about.

John Lewis is a racist, a liar and not an honorable man. He made up a lie that Tea Partiers had screamed the N word and spit on him. Video coverage of the alleged event proved he is a disgraceful scumbag liar.

He did NOT make a fool of himself!

Lewis has ALWAYS been a fool and he was just exposing it. The democrats are fools too for putting him up to this garbage and thinking it would fly. They’re changing no one’s mind about Trump with it. Those that hate him still hate him and those that like him probably like him more now.

I guess the dumbshit dems don’t yet realize how sick and tired America is of this crap and how we’re through putting up with it. If we hadn’t had all we can take from the democrats then Hillary would be the president elect right now. She’s not and Trump is and they need a healthy dose of ‘Suck it up Buttercup’.

Lewis is very representative of the irrational behavior of all democrats after the Trump win.

They can’t face the reality of losing everything in Washington, including both houses of congress and the presidency and soon the U.S. Supreme Court.

They never really did care about local elections, since to them, all power is/was in Washington. They expected to rule over every state and city and county from Washington. Obama’s was their hope, and Hillary was the continuation of that idea.

Having lost “everything”, their only recourse was to try every way possible to get the election reversed, and when that didn’t work, they could only try to delegitimize Trump’s win.

Their main goal with all of delusional and irrational actions, was to create the narrative that, their ideas and ideology and policies, were never wrong. For people to start believing the opposite, would be the death knell of the democratic party. So, they need to do everything they can to stop Trump and republicans, and so, we see all of the irrational and radical behavior that’s going on now by democrats.

The collective “middle-finger” that America gave to liberals and democrats and progressives and socialist and communists, was too much for them to bear, so, what we are witnessing is the beginning of the end for democrats, but they still can’t allow the people to notice how out of touch they have been and how costly the last election was to their ideology and politics and ideas.

Hopefully, Trump won’t do anything to help democrats recover from the trouncing that Americans handed them on Nov 8.

MAGA, and good riddance to Hillary and Obama.

John Lewis Makes A FOOL Of Himself on Capitol Hill AGAIN.
