Monday in Miami after attending a Martin Luther King Day event, while commenting on the controversy over Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) saying of President-elect Donald Trump he didnt see the president-elect as a legitimate president and Trumps tweeted response, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said he hoped the Trump would have responded differently given everything that John Lewis means to our country.

Selma, Alabama, Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965:
Under the orders of a democrat governor 150 Alabama state troopers, sheriff s deputies, and posse-men,
most if not all democrats themselves, order demonstrators to disperse.
After a two-minute warning they advance, wielding clubs, and tear gas.
John Lewis suffered a skull fracture in the melee.
He then joins the party of his oppressors and becomes a lifelong democrat himself.
He dedicates his life to fighting republicans who opposed the democrat brutality back in 1965.
Little Lightweight Marco.
Trump is taking the oath on Friday because he is a fighter.
A couple of black ladies have some advice for John Lewis:

I know. I was fooled into voting for him when he first ran years ago.
Shortly thereafter when he started getting on his soap box to shout about how we needed to go to war against Libyia I thought “Wow, how strange.” It went downhill from there.
You should consider emailing him with the content of your post. He needs to hear from as many Floridians as possible, and you have expressed your thoughts well.
What Lewis did 50 years ago doesn’t mean chit.
Charlton Heston marching with MLK didn’t matter to Libs when he headed the NRA.
Exactly. Unimportant.
Right now, I’d say those angriest with Rubio are the Cuban Americans in Florida who see Trump as their champion.
STFU Little Marco!
He doesn’t mean #### to me.
"I Feel Pretty"

Lewis played partisan politics with his original comments denying the legitimacy of Trump’s election.
John Lewis was speaking for the Democrats to cut down Trump.
Dr. Martin Luther King was against politicians, he pushed the issue of race against JFK’s moderation and then became anti-Vietnam war in opposition to LBJ.
John Lewis ended becoming a politician and a tool of the Democrats.
Trump overcame the politicians of the Uniparty-R’s and D’s to win election as President of the United States.
Having lived in Atlanta and having had the opportunity to observe John Lewis over many years, I know exactly what he means for this country.
Like John McCain, the good he did 50 years ago should not be an excuse to overlook the wrongs he has done since.
Yeah, Trump should have told Lewis to go back to Africa.
Little Marco the GOPe’s own pajama boy.
John Lewis the Dems John McCain?
What does Lewis mean? Never heard of him. Sounds like another racist.
Little Marco needs to read and understand some history
Trump was spot on
WHY...did Donald not comment on those pictures?
