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.

Lewis is despicable the way McCain is: he thinks that something he did nearly 50 years ago makes him untouchable, thinks his ticket is punched for him to be an @sshole for the rest of his life.

Shut up, John Lewis, you worthless race-baiting fool.

I hope that Trump will not apologize.

I guess that because Lewis got his head cracked in Selma, we are to respect and revere him forever.


I hope he doesn’t either..no need to apologize for the truth.

And Lewis? I don’t care if he invented the cure for cancer....he is a nothing, a roach, slug bacteria, he has done nothing to earn respect in decades.

I’m sick of self serving blacks.

Benjamin Hooks embezzled thousands of dollars from the NAACP and they honored him. A higher up named Holmes from Mississippi had a conviction of rape and they honored him. The NAACP has made itself irrelevant by its choices of leadership.

> In typical Trump style he will respond with a brutal tweet shortly I suspect.

You are good. He does not disappoint.

“Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!”

Demand in one hand and sh!t in the other andxsee which one fills up fastest.

Lewis opened up a box of crap and President Trump put his face in it. The time where a conservative president just accepted the liberal abuse is over and they can’t handle it. What a shock!

Best election EVER!!

Who nearly died? Lewis?

Roflmao..... Talk about embellishing one’s own history.

At no point during the civil rights movement did he “nearly die”.

Stuff it where the sun don’t shine, you whiners with the overdeveloped sense of entitlement. What have YOU done to contribute to the United States vs. what have you mooched off those afflicted with white guilt? Your cries of racism fall on deaf ears here. Way too much Chicken Little, not enough achievement. No one is urging you to have 75% of your kids out of wedlock, to use drugs, to act in a crude and off-putting manner, to assault elderly people on the street or a bus or a subway, to kill one another, to ambush policemen, to wander the halls of schools while others are in class getting an education with which to support themselves, etc.

When our gov. was first elected, they tried demands and smears on him too.

fast forward to minute marker 40 and listen to what he told them they could do (They screamed “RACIST” -without realizing the LaPage Family Christmas photo always includes a black “son’ - a young man from Jamaica that he took under his wing, got him thru HS, Master’s degree and on graduate school -

Ls Page was one of 13 kids and an alcoholic/abusive father. He was on the streets at age 11. He fought hard to get an education, ending up as manager of our largest state big-box chain...got elected mayor to one of our deep democrat cities, Twice - now in his 2nd term as our gov.

He’s every thing people thought Chris Christi was - but wasn’t.

He’s got thousands of food stamps by putting thru a bill that requires the able bodied to work 20hours a week - or no food stamps.

He’s also told O’bummer - do NOT sent any Syrian
“refugees” here!
MM 43 (He says it like Trump would... (Also, right out of gate as Gov. he tole O’bummer to “go to hell.”)

“By disrespecting John Lewis

Lewis began it, and neither his past nor his race grants him full immunity from being rebutted.
