President-elect Donald Trump labeled a congressional district that sweeps through the heart of Atlanta as a “crime infested” area that is in “horrible shape” in an early-morning tweet Saturday aimed at one of his most outspoken Democratic critics.
The Republican was unloading at Georgia Rep. John Lewis, who has represented the Atlanta district since his 1986 election, after the civil rights icon made national headlines when he told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he will skip Trump’s inauguration next week.
“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,” Trump said in a pair of Twitter messages. “All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”

When these race-industry hustlers call Trump illegitimate, they’re just trying to inflict the same kind of pain on us as they were feeling when some of us on the right questioned his boy brocko’s citizenship.
That’s all this is. Y’all done this to us, so we gonna do it back at y’all.
It’s a stupid, irrational motive; but I think that’s it.
We’ve seen many versions of this same movie for the past two years, and with the same effect: the Trump train just keeps on chugging. Then Trump will tweet, and they’ll retreat.
but but he’s a civil rights icon!!! We can’t be mean to him even if he is a flaming idiot.
Two reminders that “civil rights icon John Lewis” has made himself a disreputable piece of crap: his lie about somebody in a Tea Party crowd screaming “N!” at him, and implying the other day that Jeff Sessions was a racist (of course), after having posed arm in arm with him at the Selma march so many years ago.
Lewis looks like the “Creature From The Black Lagoon.”
Old Race Baiting Poverty Pimp is the new Straw Boss, tasked with keeping Blacks down on the DemonRat Plantation.
And on top of everything else, they gave Hillary a 3 million popular vote lead.
Just to show they have a sense of humor.
Typo: They were holding hands in Selma in 2015, which IMO makes his trite bleats of racism even more phony.
I nominate John Lewis to be the first contestant in ‘President Trump’s’ STAR CHAMBER-Disposition Matrix.
John Lewis is a fool, a buffoon and a race baiter incapable speaking coherent english.
This sound track is from a county (Fulton) election in the recent past. Sadly, he’s my congressman.
Trump could have almost anybody in Washington DC nailed to the wall on corruption charges.
So keep in mind, that the wailing and gnashing of teeth is largely coming from people who belong in jail, know they belong in jail, and for the first time ever actually have a credible fear of ending up in jail for their crimes.

go for it.
Next Lewis will complain about how unpresidential it is to use Twitter.
TRUE, but a few seconds later, those pigs will go back to slurping up pig poop.
Ironic that Lewis considers Trump illegitimate but not the Kenyan born Muslim usurper.
Democrats: "And we're just the guys to do it!"
Re: outraged commentators,
Throw a rock into a herd of pigs and the one that squeals loudest is likely the one you hit.
“And he’s fugly!”
DH and I were trying put our fingers on the breed of dog he looks like. Bulldog, I think.
So is it a rough district? Lots of crime?
