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.

John Lewis just another race baiter pal of Obama.
Very Trump Christmas
[Editor’s note: Christmas has come and gone, but the following is too good not to share Enjoy.]
Twas the night before Christmas, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.
The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.
And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.
The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.
Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.
So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.
Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.
And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.
I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.
I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.
He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.
His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.
He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.
The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;
The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”;
Lewis needs to get on his knees and apologize to the poor people in his district he has neglected for decades.
Trump was absolutely correct to respond in kind and it’s about time we have someone that has some balls headed to lead our nation.
Naacp trying to remain relevant
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.
Because he’s black allows him to say whatever is on his mind including calling names but any white person is viewed as being disrespectful. tough sh##
They oppose Trump and Sessions because neither one will give them the special treatment they think they deserve.
Guess what? Race relations will improve under Trump for that very same reason.
And who uses the term “Colored” anymore?
For what ???? For telling the truth what a $**hole John Lewis’s district is ?
Lewis should apologize for the out of control violence in his district.
Trump said do a liberal type apology.
“I apologize for congressman Lewis getting offended”
The NAALCP can kiss my Royal Irish Ass!
It is a new ball game. We don’t take no truck from you no more....
We hit back, and we hit hard.
The NAACP should apologize to black for referring to them as “colored people.” They should be more PC and change their name.
Besides, the NAACP always has been and always will be a commie organization.
Yeah don’t hold your breath waiting on that one.
I believe Lewis owes Trump an apology. Trump did not diss Lewis first.
Well, get in line, there are a thousand people ahead of you that are wanting to get an apology. Probably won’t ever come. He is not known for taking back offensive words.
