On Monday afternoon, reporters stationed inside Trump Tower begged with Martin Luther King III to attack President-elect Trump over tweets concerning Democratic Congressman John Lewis (Ga.) following a meeting on the day honoring King’s father Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
King began by stating that he and Trump had “a very constructive meeting” with most of the focus being on voting rights, but the topic shifted to Lewis when reporters interjected with questions.
ABC correspondent Tom Llamas snuck in the first pathetic question baiting King into blasting Trump: “Mr. King, as you know, Representative Lewis still has the scars from the March on Selma. Were you offended by the President-elect's tweet that Representative Lewis is all talk and no action?”
King responded by stating the Lewis is, like “many others,” a “bridge builder” but added that “in the heat of emotion, a lot of things get said on both sides.”
With the press corps not satisfied, an unidentified male reporter trotted out this second-hand claim by a woman he saw on Sunday at Trump Tower:

Now we have "journalists" who keep asking the same question, trying to goad the subject into mes-speaking or giving the answer the "journalist" was looking for in the first place.
As you said, 'agent provocateur'.
Yeah I heard that Commie reporter say that..gotta love liberal stupidity..how they take TWO WORDS out of a tweet and just use that..I was yelling at the TV..READ THE WHOLE TWEET A-HOLE!! Trump was referring to the cesspool District that Lewis represents and has done absolutely NOTHING for..in fact, he doesn’t even live in the district just shows up for votes when needed
Sadly THAT is true....VERY sadly! Blacks do NOT expect much out of their REPS!!! Only care about COLOR!!
“...The media is doing all it can to destroy Trump...”
The media is doing all it can to destroy the media...LOL
It’s almost funny that the media and the Democrats don’t see that their one sided, hair-on-fire behavior, is driving more and more Americans to leave the liberal plantation.
Let us hope they double down, and continue with gusto.
And the MSM wonders why Trump will kick them to the curb and allow bloggers, talk shows, and internet news access to the White House press room.Tom Llamas, whom Trump pointed out as biased previously, is as good an example as the whole of CNN, SeeBS, and ABC.
Lewis translation:
“TRUMP IS NOT LEGITIMATE!”
means....
“Trump is not black...”
Trump is not democrat...
Trump is not Obama.
The only thing scarier than the stupidity of the CBC democrats is the districts that elect them.
That is a good analogy.
A wound will never heal if you keep picking at it - and if you keep it up you run into the danger of a deadly infection. The Media, Educrats, and Democrat politicians want to prevent healing and to continue to spread the infection.
Yep.
Also love your screen name. When I was in Red Band in HS.....we did the theme from “El Cid”. Our director was awesome.
He is a racist at heart and he is not one open to healing the wounds - he is the one that causes the bleeding. Without his brand of hatred, there would be no black community.
I REALLY hope Trump's team identifies the #FAKEJOURNALIST who said this and revokes the credentials of the #FAKEJOURNALIST so he can never be anywhere NEAR Trump.
Nothing but a stinking set up HIT JOB question.
I applaud MLKIII for not taking the bait and being the REAL man in that exchange.
Yes, he did. Good for him!
Do away with press area in the West Wing.
In an out of the way corner of the WH lawn put up a large tent for 500 members of all the various types of the media. No heating, no air condition aka Sheriff Joe Arpaio style.
First come first serve for the limited number chairs, roll up the walls of if additional space is needed.
Security check point and drug testing required for admittance.
Jim Acosta works for CNN doesn’t he? Is he the one that caused trouble at the recent press conference?
Nope. I am used to marxist Democrats behaving poorly and saying foul untruths. It is pretty stand for them, even the civil rights icon Lewis has rested on his laurels for too long. The talking points have been passed out weeks ago.
I hope Trump tweet slams any and all fake news and slander from the Marxists!
Totally tagable...
” A woman came in here last week and told me he’s going to have black people up against the wall, both literally and figuratively”
I’m more concerned about Up against the wall, redneck mother.
