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.

Watch for them when I mention it in relation to Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Haley and George P. Bush, they’re still here.

Let’s make sure we get this “logic” crystal clear. Democrats claim Trump won because of “Russian Hacking”

When pressed on what that meant, the Dem in question cited
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.

And as a result, people voted for Trump instead of Hillary.

If you believe these documents had an effect, THEY WERE ALL TRUE. This idiot Dem (and all those like him) are claiming Democrats lost because the people knew the truth about them and that’s unfair.

Let that sink in.

Even so, so what? It was #RealNews, current and relevant. It exposed the frauds in the Dims, the screwing of Sanders, the disparagement of Latinos, Catholics and more

Trust me, we will get so tired of this "Hillary really won with the popular vote and Trump stole the election by getting the Russians to hack the DNC and Hillary and Podesta's emails to ensure his victory" line of crap.

Everything the demoCRAPS have done since the election has been to discount Trump's victory and make it look like he is a usurper. Typical liberal rhetoric and antics.

This is not the congressional moron who didn’t want to deploy any additional troops to the island of Guam because he was afraid it might capsize, is it?

That is one of the reasons why this might be the “Best. Election. Ever.”

I don’t know if Trump is going to do everything he says he will. But the combination of who he has nominated, and his acerbic tweets fills me with delight.

First, his nominees sound like real business, qualified people (not all political hacks or liberal policy wonks) who are going to do things.

Second, his tweets show he isn’t going to play by the liberal rules, and it has them completely flummoxed! They don’t know what to do if someone stands up to them and slings it back at them!

I admit, I am enjoying it, and he hasn’t even taken the oath yet.

Best.

Election.

Ever.

Even if we all go to Hell in a Handbasket, we might go down fighting back...:)

Same BS as “hanging-chad” Bush: he’s not legitimate; it’s what Dems ALWAYS do when they lose.

This guy has a face that only a mother could love. Donald Trump won fair and square but the crybaby Dems just can’t bring themselves to believe that they lost to him.

Did an elected Republican House or Senate member EVER say that about Obama?
If not, could you imagine the furor?

And the irony is that Obama really is illegitimate and the whole world knows it.

His (supposed) father already had a wife running around in Kenya when Obama was born to Stanley Ann Dunham.

Even if there was a false wedding service between Stanley Ann and Barack Sr. somewhere on American soil it wouldn't matter because the law would not recognize the second marriage of a bigamist as legitimate.

So when people refer to Barack as a bast**d they know what they're talking about!

I didn’t vote for Hillary because of the emails.

And about 1000 other reasons, too.

Yeah, that’s one of the sad side effects of gerrymandering (which I support for the most part). You end up with moonbat black members of Congress who, even though they don’t represent the values of their African-American constituencies, get re-elected time and again because their districts are essentially bullet-proof from any competition. There’s a lot of John Lewis types in the House. None of them even hold a candle to the likes of Senator Tim Scott.

And for certain you are not competent to be a member of the House.

Lewis knows it too. (that Obama is a fraud and imposter)

They’re going even more shrill because they are afraid much is going to be exposed.

Which makes them dangerous.

Well I don’t see John Lewis as a legitimate congressman, mostly because he is stupid.

Lewis’s outburst is the exact reason why Trump was elected. They don’t get that and I don’t feel like telling them.
