Lewis called him illegitimate. Respect works both ways. He couldn’t win dog catcher outside of his district.

That was the whole point. Insult Trump and goad him into an insult of a genuine hero of the Civil Rights Movement.

Oh, please.

Screw Lewis. I never heard him refer to Bammie as being illegitimate, which he was. Check his birth certificate. Mommy and daddy weren’t married.

LePage (from a family of 18 kids) got thousands off food stamps by ruling that if you’re able bodied and don’t have kids - you have to work 20 hours a week or no food stamps -

Here’s the Gov’ with Cavuto discussing it -

White is a color.

NAACP, why do you only represent ‘some’ colored people??

NAACP wants other colored people to drink at their own fountain and ride the back of the bus.

“A race card is like Confederate currency- it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on anymore.”

Confederate money today is worth a hell of lot more than it’s face value. But I get your point.

Apologize for what?

According to Google: Atlanta was recently ranked (October 2012) as the sixth most dangerous city in the United States among cities of more than 200,000 residents. According to Forbes the city has a violent crime rate of 1,433 per 100,000 and has experienced a violent crime rate rise of six percent in 2011.

And he’s apologized to these clowns how many times since he first took the stage?

Sympathetic media praises this Lewis character as one who almost died at the Selma peace march. I've not studied black history, but I believe nothing of the sort happened there. Tussling with police (democratically controlled, btw. e.g. Bull Connor) is a far cry from "almost killed."

I'll apologize if I'm in error.
