Rep. John Lewis Wants To ‘Take A Bullwhip’ To People So They Care About Civil Rights
The Daily Caller ^ | September 21, 2017 | Liam Clancy

Democratic Rep. John Lewis said Thursday he sometimes feels like “taking a bullwhip” to people in order to make them care about civil rights.

“It doesn’t matter whether they’re black, or white, Latino, Asian-American or Native American. When you see something that’s not right, not fair, not just, you have an obligation to do something, to say something. They’re just too darn quiet. I really wanna use some other words sometimes,” Lewis told the audience of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Town Hall on Civil Rights in Washington, D.C.

“I believe in the philosophy and the discipline of nonviolence, but sometimes I feel like taking a bullwhip and just saying to people, ‘You get your butt up. You go out there and do what you must do,'” the Georgia congressman continued.

Lewis added that young people must become “fighters” and “warriors” for the cause of civil rights.

Activists “just need to be radical” and “extreme” in order to fight racism in the United States, Lewis opined.

What we really need are some white hangings and some satanic cross burnings.

"Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!" -- President-Elect Donald J. Trump (via Twitter), 9/14/17

LMAO.

Do you know what the Whip does?

Well, you know in the old days, when the senators didn’t vote the way that the party leaders wanted ‘em to... they whipped them. You better vote the way we want you to, or there’s gonna be big trouble.

“Rep. John Lewis Wants To ‘Take A Bullwhip’ To People So They Care About Civil Rights”

This is a leftist “dog whistle” for groups like Only Black Lives Matter, New Black Panthers, etc.

No one has ever accused Lewis of being particularly cerebral. He needs to take a bullwhip to the thugs in his own neighborhood who are causing racial animosity. Maybe he should be at the top of the list to be whipped himself.

How many more civil rights does Lewis need? He still thinks 13% of the population is majority rule.

Right behind your 1911! Remember, Audie Murphy was 19, and his safe space was right behind an M-2 .50 Cal machine gun on a burning Sherman!

“Aren’t whips racist?”

They make a hell of a cracking sound if done right.
