Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), the only person alive who spoke during Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic March on Washington, was verbally taunted on a D.C. to Atlanta flight over the weekend. The civil rights legend shared his story on Senator Cory Booker’s new podcast “Lift Every Voice.”
“I’m walking down the aisle, and the gentleman said as loud as he could, ‘Trump!” recounted Lewis. “The 77-year-old has been a vocal critic of Trump, refusing to attend the Civil Rights Museum opening in Mississippi if Trump was in attendance and Trump’s State of the Union speech scheduled for January 30.

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
Wonderful Trump! Beautiful Trump!
Um, no. This pos has voted against America and Americans at every opportunity. His votes translate into legislation, which affects my life, my children, my bank account and yours as well. He deserves scorn and ridicule daily.
I could not care less that he’s an old man. He’s a dirtbag racist.
John Lewis was a gopher back then, nothing more, just like Jesse Jackson. These two, among others, have drapped themselves is the bloody short of MLK since 1968. Neither one is worth spit. Both are wanton opportunists as well as Mendacious, Hypocritical Jackass’. Enough said!!!!!!!!!!
Stop! You’re killing me
When Obongo care passed the rats left the Capitol and taunted the people gathered outside who were against the bill. Real in your face stuff. Lewis was one of several black lawmakers who claimed racial epithets were shouted at them. There were news cameras everywhere and not one could produce proof of this claim in other words total BS. This is probably the same.
Isn’t this the same man that lied - saying someone made a racial slur during the “gavel March” after the health care vote? Didn’t Breitbart back him down? He has a truth problem. Show me the video.
“Hey Lewis...prove that somebody said that to you. You have to prove it!”
*****************
Back in 2010 Lewis (and other black congressmen) claimed that Tea Party protestors (against Obamacare) at the Capitol harassed them and called them names. This was another lie that they couldn’t prove. I was there and nobody insulted them.
Speaking truth to power in 2018.
Met him last summer. Never smiles. Miserable b@stard.
AOL? On what? Dial up? Using a bulletin board? Usenet? With a Hayes modem?
We don't care what the Black Caucasians want!

He’s the one who, after the black caucus was taking their victory lap around the Capital after the vote on Obamacare, claimed he was called the “n” word. My brother was there and said it didn’t happen.
OMG! He is merely a "legend," and not an "icon?" What happened?
He is the worst kind of old man. He’s agressively stupid.
CNN has morphed into a conservative’s comedy Central!
And please . . stop referring to the LBJ’s “hypocrite preacher man” plagiarist as “Dr”
The brick that hit him up side the head wasn’t big enough.
