Lewis suggests Trump wants to return nation to pre-civil rights era
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 15, 2017 | Keith Koffler

"Today, Donald Trump attacked me on Twitter. He said that I'm 'all talk' and 'no action,'" Lewis wrote in a fundraising email sent out by the Democratic National Committee. "Some leaders reject decades of progress and want to return to the dark past, when the power of law was used to deny the freedoms protected by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and its Amendments," he wrote. "We need leaders who will stand up and speak up and speak out for Americans, not someone who will work against us. Not someone who will move us backwards.

I don’t think he is senile-I think he is just a bitter, racist hater who “came out” when Obama was elected-along with all the other Sharptons and Jacksons who felt justified in their hate for every person who is not Black...

He and McCain are both fine examples of why we need term limits...

Pelosi went out and defended Lewis. You won’t see the Republicans defend their crazy aunts and uncles that way. It’s one of the characteristic asymmetries between the parties,

What has this worm done to resist the systematic destruction of African American civilization at the hands of the Democrats and left in the last 40 years? Nothing. On the contrary he has danced on the graves of his own people for $$ and personal political power.

Trump is almost the only ray of light that has shined into the ‘hood in a generation. This shepard of his people wants to snuff that light out.

Any real “civil right hero” would march with Trump.

This from a man who played the friggin race card against citizens who were in the Tea Party - - as a way to shut them down and deny them free speech? That Lewis?

This from a man who had white people kicked out of SNCC in 1963 a year before three civil rights workers were killed in the South? Two of the three killed being white?

This from the man who denied Bernie Sanders was part of the movement because Bernie was taking on the less dramatic but difficult civil rights problems of inner city discrimination and crime in places like Chicago?

OK, he was heroic 52 years ago... what has he done since then? And does that give John Lewis a pass to lie about conservative citizens? Or the American’s people choice for President?

After 8 years of the cowering Senate he figures nothing has changed.

Trump is not DC. Calls them as he sees them.

Back up your words or get the hell out.
