Trump unleashes Twitter attack against congressional critic

NEW YORK — Donald Trump is lashing out at a Georgia congressman who described the Republican as an illegitimate president.

Trump tweeted on Saturday that Democrat 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 — who'll be sworn in this coming Friday — continues to use Twitter to attack his adversaries as he did throughout the campaign.

Lewis says he'll skip Trump's inauguration. The longtime civil rights leader says it'd be the first one he'll miss since coming to Congress three decades ago.

Lewis told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he doesn't consider Trump a "legitimate president" and blames the Russians for helping him win.

Ever since Lewis got the crap kicked out of him Democrats in 1965, he’s been suffering Stockholm Syndrome.

The sit in ended once the farts from Lewis started.

If Lewis and his buddies keep this up, they’ll make Trump one of the most popular presidents in modern history. JMHO.

I agree with you 100%.
Ironic, isn't it, how the Democrats haven't seemed to learn about negative attitudes? You would have THOUGHT that HRC's "deplorables" comment MIGHT have given them a clue.
Oh well, President-elect Trump is on his way. Huzzah for the USA!

Lewis, and many like him, are modern day, black slave traders.

It would be interesting to do a study of Lewis’ district. Is it better off with him as their Representative??? Or should they find another??

The swamp definitely needs draining and fossils removed. It’s not the petrified ones I’m worried about so much as it is the ones still walking and slithering around. It’s easy to sit back and throw rocks but when you’ve been in the office that long and are still promising a “fix” for the same old problems it’s time to go. My advice to Lewis is: Take two weeks off . . . and then QUIT!

Lewis is trying to recapture his former fame. But, in reality, he’s the picture on the poster for term limits.

The demographics of his district are such that I’d imagine as long as he chooses to run for Congress, he will get elected.

In principal I agree but the blowback should have from a GOP Senator (as if) not a Trump tweet. I have no problem with most of Trumps tweets. By responding to this insect Trump is just going to add momentum to BS legitimacy bit.

Why do “ longtime civil rights leaders “ always have high crime rates in their districts/cities?
