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.

thanx for posting.
no wonder lewis supports alien immigration!
he is one.
Trump plays offense and defense well, at the same time. Something most Republicans have no experience with.
All over Twitter the left is spouting about Trump insulting a great American who shed blood for his country (during civil rights demonstrations) while Trump avoided the draft.... and all on MLK weekend! So now I guess it is a weekend rather than a day for MLK. It is a mess out there.
If they return the donations there is no downside to the donors. The donors who made multimillion dollar donations in expectation of future access SHOULD face consequences. Let them kiss their money goodby.
Yes, he was heroic ... and has an important place in our history... BUT he was divisive and changed the civil rights movement away from the high minded moral nonviolence of MLK to the lower resentment and violence that would later influence the birth of violent Panther type groups...
I'm not impressed...
He always looks like he’s sucking on lemons.
Isn’t he also the guy who said Tea Partiers were spitting and cursing at him? Fake news personified!
I know, right?
The divorce is coming. The only question is will the "woman" be left in a dingy apartment with all the "children," or will she manage to ruin ALL the success she had so little to do with creating.
I never would have thought I would live to see the day a Republican elected official would talk back so directly to the smears of the left. Winning!
That's ridiculous.
Lewis, and many like him, are modern day, black slave traders.
His face reminds me of an episode from Twighlight Zone “The Masks”.
For the last 8 years, any time someone dissented from the official statement, Any dissenter was labeled racist.
Our turn now. Dissenters are child molesters.
Love it...this moron just keeps advancing the disappearance of the Democrat Party and the Congressional Black Caucus that this buffoon Lewis belongs to...but, does absolutely zilch for African-Americans!!! Just look at the membership of the CBC....old wornout deadbeat civil right nutcases, whose ideas have long passed.
Fear not American Blacks...help is on the way.....Good jobs, good opportunities, good law enforcement, good education, safe streets, real, honest equality..for all Americans....thanks to Donald J. Trump!!! Thanks to Ben Carson, Steve Harvey, Black Churchmen all across our country. The CBC is a s dead as an idea whose time has long past. I luv the way they are killing themselves, politically....and their Democrat Party!!! Luv it!!! LMAO!!!
No, I’m not impressed either. I’m just saying that as long he chooses to run his black majority district will reelect him - regardless of whether he has his faculties or not.
OoooH. Put it back! Put it back!
“Isnt he also the guy who said Tea Partiers were spitting and cursing at him? Fake news personified!”
I believe you are correct. It was immediately after the rats shoved through Obama care.They left the the Captitol and marched right the face of opponents who were outside. They put the Black Caucus in front,alerted the MSM and planned it so they could get any racist remarks on the evening news.When they weren’t any Lewis and 1 or 2 others claimed there were despite the fact none of dozens of film crews caught it. If you questioned it you were called a Racist “doubting the integrity of a African-American Congressman”
