[Mr. K]

What makes Lewis the arbiter of whether Trump is legitimate or not?

And the media is losing their minds that after Lewis insulted Trump, Trump had the nerve to insult him back.

[euram]

and NO ONE ELSE should do so either. Lewis is the prime example of “there is no fool like an old fool.” and he’s just as stupid as that other Georgia congressman who said that Guam might tip over if we send more Navy personnel there.

[goldbux]

"Sorry . . ." (Title)

No need to feign an apology.

[Brandonmark]

...he didn’t consider George W. Bush a legitimate president, either.

Probably just a coincidence that he considered the outgoing failed president as legitimate!

[DUMBGRUNT]

“Past performance does not guarantee future results.”

What has he actually accomplished lately?

Anything?

[TigerClaws]

Trump has balls.

He calls out black politicians on their crummy results for their voters. Nobody else has had the guts to do this that I’ve seen.

[ForYourChildren]

Lewis has proven himself to be the purveyor of #FAKENEWS - on numerous occasions.

[COBOL2Java]

Already a leader of the left wing (SNCC) of the Civil Rights Movement, Lewis had the fortune (bad and good) to be savagely beaten on the head by Alabama State Troopers (under the command of Democrat Governor George Wallace), and today bears the visible scars. This sacrifice in a great and victorious cause, combined with his position as a man of the left, built the armor of an unassailable hero around Lewis. The American left created a claque around him, requiring any serious discussion of the man to include a disclaimer as to his heroic status and infallibility. He became a valuable weapon: a voice that could present outrageous lies.

Interesting! The theme sounds remarkably similar to a certain Republican Senator...

[connyankee]

Exactly my point on an earlier piece re Lewis. Resting on his laurels the whole time in DC.

[pioneerstakethearrows]

Exactly.

John Lewis, celebrated for something he did 50 years ago, and resting on his laurels ever since.

[CodeToad]

[reg45]

Poor John Lewis. He’s obviously suffering from senile dementia. He thinks he’s back in the ‘60’s.

[xzins]

Not only do I not concede moral authority to John Lewis, Lewis is fooled by fake news.

Also, Lewis attacked another man. That man hit back.

I consider LTG Jerry Boykin to be one of America’s great men. If he attacked me for some strange reason, I would be fully justified to hit back.

Being part of great events doesn’t issue an automatic “retaliation exemption card”.

[MarkL]

Something people need to remember is that just because you've done something notable, even heroic, in the past, doesn't mean you get a pass on being a scumbag today.

Perfect examples are Lewis and McCain. The best example is that of Benedict Arnold, who probably saved the Colonies from the loss of the Revolutionary War in the battle of Lake Champlaign. But he's best known for what he did just a few years later, while most have forgotten his heroics.

Lewis is a leftist hack these days, and apologist for any dem criminal acts.

[Arm_Bears]

Got it—John Lewis is beaten up by members of his own political party 50 years ago and, as a result, is beatified.

[Terry L Smith]

[Terry Mross]

Lewis never dreamed getting the hell beat out of him by democrats would eventually make him a democrat darling.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Sorry, But I Do Not Concede Absolute Moral Authority to Congressman John Lewis...preposterous - everyone knows that what makes a leftist a leftist is his moral, intellectual, cultural and just general all over all around superiority to every one else who isn't a leftist.....

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

If we were going to parrot the left, we would demand that he condemn Al Sharpton before we even address any of his baseless claims...

[The Toll]

My life has not been enriched by the “Civil Rights Movement” in any way. I have countless examples of the opposite.
