I forgot that Lewis ran as long ago as 1977 in the special election for the same seat when Carter had the brilliant notion to make Rep. Andrew Young Ambassador to the United Nations (even Carter had to sack him after 2 years). He lost badly to Wyche Fowler (Paul Coverdell placed 3rd in the all-party primary). Perhaps we should be grateful to Fowler for having prevented this race-baiting imbecile from serving 10 additional years in Congress.
Of course. But Lewis and Payne would not have been caught on camera uttering something so remarkably and demonstrably ludicrous and false. Owens reduced slavery to a punchline joke with his comments.

I'd just say they were equally addled and were lifelong loudmouth, sanctimonious CROOKS/TAKERS.
They did little to nothing good for anyone but themselves and for the machine CROOKS.
Still, if you don’t at least TRY to fight for it... the GOP should make an effort to recruit someone.
There’s a Black lady running for the seat in November on the GOP side. She’ll be lucky to get over 15%. It’s a hyper-moonbat seat. One of the potential replacement candidates for the seat on the Demonrat side is none other than Scaty Abrams. Because if there’s one thing Congress needs, it’s more Stalinist Soros-puppet racist loudmouth thugs and thugettes.
Civil rights legend who frittered away all the capital that honor might have achieved.
Somebody on Parler wrote a comment about Lewis's death, saying: "General Akbar" died.
Wish they still gave out "Green Stamps."
So sad...
Yep. Thats the first name Ill throw out when someone tells me that I cant criticize a vet like Tammy the Duck.
Posted this on a Fox News article:
Back in 2010, he falsely claimed that Tea Party demonstrators said the N-word during anti-Obamacare rally. In 2008 he accused McCain and Palin of racism. In 2012 he claimed Republicans wanted to take the country back to the Jim Crow days. In 2016, he falsely compared Donald Trump to George Wallace, and in 2017, falsely claimed Trump is illegitimate because of the Russian conspiracy." He also falsely claimed that Bernie Sanders played no role in the civil rights movement, but that was also proven to be another John Lewis lie.
Yup!!!
The Mills Brothers are incredible.
Well, were. When Bond said that, he referenced their recent 55 year anniversary in showbiz.
“...Shell be lucky to get over 15%. Its a hyper-moonbat seat....”
Well, at least they’re trying to get that seat. If you don’t try, you definitely lose.
“Civil rights legend”...
Snort....
He was a congress critter since 1987. Lets just say he was a VIP member of the SWAMP.
Thats over 30 years of DC connections etc... that is lost. There will be a power vacuum and vying for position before the dust settles.
bottom line, the swamp lost some power.
Exactly.
All I needed to know about how “virtuous” John Lewis was, was his stance on ABORTION.
He was a baby-killing creep & advocate for that barbaric child sacrificial practice.
The left will eulogize him for weeks now, but God has Judged him. A very sobering thought.
He was an abortionist among other things.
It’s always a bad spiritual sign for people when the left & press eulogize somebody for days/weeks on end.
The world loves their own.
