The NAACP President Cornell William Brooks is calling on Donald Trump to apologize to Alabama Rep. John Lewis, after attacking the civil rights icon in a series of tweets.

“By disrespecting John Lewis, Donald Trump dishonored Lewis' sacrifice & demeaned Americans & the rights, he nearly died (for). Apologize,” Brooks tweeted.

Those black NAACP congressmen who protest Trump are a fine example of such refuse.

....
So, my son just commented on my post...I almost cried I was so proud, he said, “so dad, aren’t the higher up black politicians like the black tribal leaders in Africa who used to sell other Africans to the white slave traders?”

I was stunned and proud...he nailed it...my son is a teenager.

You are nothing more than a racist, obnoxious bunch of bigots controlled by white masters, slurping from the public trough

GTH each of you

This is no better than the mugger’s family who sues the guy who put the mugger down.

Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin’.

Lewis started somethin’.

[I want the USA back]

No apology!

[keving]

What actually did Lewis do? I knew he was marching and sitting down but what else? Curious after reading Wiki. Just another race hustler?

The NAALCP is a racist organization.

Yes, Lewis is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT untouchable, because he milked a walk some 50 years ago into a lengthy political career.

He can say ANYTHING and ANY response is RACISM!

John Lewis: "Donald Trump rapes children."

Donald Trump: "No I don't. That's absurd. Why don't you tend to your district instead of making stuff up."

NAACP: "HOW DARE YOU! JOHN LEWIS IS A CIVIL RIGHTS GOD! YOU ARE A RACIST!!!! APOLOGIZE!!!"

NAACP demands....

Oh, I'm so sorry to have to tell you, but

Mr. Trump doesn't do 'demands.'

I think he was beat up on a bridge during a march in the 60’s. He keeps on using it as a badge of honor.

This is like drawing a line in the sand. It is something you should not do unless you are prepared to back it up.

In this case, what are they going to do that they are not already doing?

I was taught to pick my fights since I was not likely to win them all and it is better to walk away from some.

The NAACP will soon discover their race card has been voided for over use.

The “I” in “if” should be upper-case.

ROTFLMAO!

I am betting Trump doubles down. Sheriff Clarke and Ben Carson will have his back.

John Lewis doesn’t get a free pass to attack Trump.
