John Lewis: ‘I Don’t See Trump as a Legitimate President’
NBC News ^ | January 13, 2017 | Matt Rivera

Posted on 01/13/2017 12:21:45 PM PST by GuavaCheesePuff

In an exclusive interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press," Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said he does not believe Donald Trump is a "legitimate president," citing Russian interference in last year's election.

Asked whether he would try to forge a relationship with the president-elect, Lewis said that he believes in forgiveness, but added, "it's going to be very difficult. I don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president."

When pressed to explain why, he cited allegations of Russian hacks during the campaign that lead to the release of internal documents from the Democratic National Committee, and Hillary Clinton's campaign co-chairman, John Podesta.

I truly believe the Democrats would push the button to keep this lie going.

The whole point of the Russian hacker dog and pony show has always been to “delegitimize” Trump... this is the same crap they pull on Bush in 2000 after the recount-—delegitimate his presidency

This is stock dem left tactic

So, according to the insane libs no matter what laws Russia may have broken, it means the election is not legitimate. Because illegal hacking is all they’re accusing Russia of doing. Don’t talk about the info in the emails.

I haven’t seen one person say they didn’t vote for Hillary because of the emails.

But of course he does see the traitor from within with no birth certificate to be legitimate.

Yo Johnny. Clintoonie won by 2.6 million votes. Please have one of your snowflake staffers explain to us how the Russkis “interfered” by releasing the scandalous emails written by you DemocRATS. Show me the evidence!

The 900lb gorilla in the room is that this private server shouldn’t have been allowed by the POTUS in the first place. Hillary and the DNC are responsible for the *content* of their emails and their behavior. Obama is responsible for allowing Hillary to risk national security and should also be held accountable for not doing his job.

...of course, there’s zero scandals in the Obama presidency ;p

“I don’t see john Lewis as a legitimate politician .
I do not care who he walked with 50 years ago”

He’s like one of the Kardashians; Lewis is famous for being John Lewis. I can’t think of one important legislative accomplishment of his during his entire congressional career.

I didn’t see Obama as a legitimate president either...

And we’ll see who’s right after the investigations are over.

“No, but they SHOULD HAVE!
Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.”

Noticed yesterday that all the FReaks who insisted the Fraud was “probably a NBC” and “Aw, not THIS again” whenever the Fraud’s fraudulent BC is discussed, seem to have vamoosed with the #neverTrump FReaks. Haven’t seen a single objection lately to FR posts calling the Fraud out on his fraudulent documents and life.

SO glad the #neverTrump leftist FReaks have STFU!

(FWIW, however, they can still be counted on to arrogantly post on EVERY Waco II thread)

He is paid to keep “those folk” down on the Democrat Party plantation. That has been his life-long paid gig. Why should we expect any more from such an old fool.

If he won’t stop being sedicious, he needs to be removed from Congress and charged. It doesnt matter if he likes the President, but to stand in Congress and say that he is NOT the legitamate POTUS, is declaring a civil war.
