WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday told reporters has no plans to visit the casket of civil rights hero John Lewis as he lies in state in the US Capitol.
“No, I won’t be going, no,” Trump said when asked if he would travel on Monday or Tuesday to pay his respects.

Out of 535 members of Congress only 80 will attend? I guess he wasn't really that popular among his "peers". Probably mostly the Congressional Black Caucus.
“How about the Secretary of Bull Excrement?”
He is overburdened as it is these days.
Sick of seeing it too. When the horse was drawing the carriage with his casket I was hoping someone had fed the horse beefarino.
You’re really childish. You fear a virus that’s proven no worse than the flu but claim that Trump should go not to a social event because of it but it’s ok that Pence goes. You’re a chick, right?

This !
It’s disgraceful that they give themselves massive state funerals while regular citizens had to endure loved ones dying alone and then not being able to get any sort of proper closure, all while insisting that we must still live under their boots.
Funeral for a greatly loved friend ,,,family came all the way to Shasta county from Texas,,,
Then tyrant newsome throws fit and locked us down again over ginned up numbers and locks down his serfs again indefinitely.
I’m still livid.
He’s no hypocrite!
Brilliant!
Nobody should attend. Nobody outside DC gives AF that John Lewis' rotting corpse is waiting for visitors.
Nobody INSIDE DC gives AF - they just have to pretend they give AF.
He should have added...”large gatherings of these kinds only spread Covid, unless it is a protest”
Why would the President go to see this anti-Free-America racist who despised him?
Of course you are entitled to your opinion. A president attending any function including a wake is a huge honor. Since Lewis has shown such callus disrespect for this president and the office he does not deserve the honor.
I agree with Dacula, however, that attending is a no-win situation for President Trump.
The security is already going to be pretty heavy but having the president there would create more problems. Probably demonstrators too.
I’m watching Bill Clinton give some remarks at Lewis’ service. He actually looks pretty good; not as rail-thin as he did a couple of years ago.
But I’m about to turn it off because I still can’t stand this. Listening to Bill pontificate with that thing that politicians do, with their hand, balling it up and raising it for emphasis. I swear that must be in the class “Speech Making 101” when people decide to run for office.
I am rewinding because I want to see when Clinton is called up, whether or not Hillary is there.
