Trump to John Lewis: Fix your ‘horrible’ Atlanta district
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 1/14/17 | Greg Bluestein

Posted on 01/14/2017 6:15:23 AM PST by madprof98

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!”

Once again, Donald Trump shows that he is the polar opposite of a racist by calling out a lackadaisical, useless politician based on record not race.

A racist would pander to the black person and “kiss ass” to his face at the same time he keeps the minority at arms distance.

Did not MEXICAN officials attack Trump? For God’s sake their people here even vote in the Mexican elections, and these illegals also protested Trump here in America.

If he thinks President Trump’s election is illegitimate, Congressman Lewis should next consider whether affirmative action hires, promotions, admissions and degrees are illegitimate.

I remember a certain canadian prime Minister going on TV in October and labeling Donald Trump a “sexual predator” in October. But that wasn’t a foreign government trying to affect the outcome of our election or anything.

“Every one of the many outraged commentators reacting to this latest tweet know that it is precisely right.”

Even the article doesn’t try to glorify the crime rate there, as they know it would be hopeless.

The way to tell this guy is PATHETIC is that he doesn’t even seem to care that the (legitimate) Civil Rights efforts that he helped lead has now degenerated to the point where his party is pushing the rights of perverts to follow little girls into bathrooms and locker rooms.

John Lewis is not a legitimate U.S. Representative. After all, the U.S. Supreme Court mandated the creation by gerrymandering of majority-minority districts. He represents one of those districts so without the meddling of the U.S. Supreme Court he would likely not have been elected. By his own reasoning, he is not a legitimate U.S. Representative.

“That is what I like about Trump. Says it like it is.”

Nothing new with these types of attacks...except they are now being RESPONDED TO. Trump should point out what Lewis has said recently, if he really wants to have some fun with it. So far, he’s being quite soft on him.
