Rep. John Lewis Wants To 'Take A Bullwhip' To People So They Care About Civil Rights
Daily Caller ^ | September 21, 2017 | Liam Clancy

Democratic Rep. John Lewis said Thursday he sometimes feels like "taking a bullwhip" to people in order to make them care about civil rights.

"It doesn’t matter whether they're black, or white, Latino, Asian-American or Native American. When you see something that’s not right, not fair, not just, you have an obligation to do something, to say something. They’re just too darn quiet. I really wanna use some other words sometimes," Lewis told the audience of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Town Hall on Civil Rights in Washington, D.C.

Isn’t the bullwhip analogy too triggering, too mindful of the days of slavery??? A black man is saying these things???

And aren’t liberals supposed to be peace loving radicals??? Love trumps hate and all that???? Where is the love and peace in a violent act such as whipping people, John Lewis?>?

This says it all. This is exactly what’s wrong with the totalitarian left in a nutshell. Out of the mouth of one of the biggest dopes in all of politics.

I’d like to lynch all those that commit voter fraud and disenfranchise my vote.

The Congressional Black Caucus is a racist group.

He was probably demanding that they disband.

But if I wanted to bullwhip him for being an idiot, it would be racist.

I watched part of that today. I kept thinking it’s been 150 years since slavery ended yet you still choose to dwell on that instead of real issues. I’m tired of the whining. Look at Cubans.

I admit that I’m not a great student of history, but I do not recall the Irish, Italians, Germans, Chinese, Japanese, etc., go out and riot when their ethnic groups were discriminated against. But maybe I missed the historical mentions?

Is this the same John Lewis who owns a very expensive town house in D.C. and pays his taxes on it when he feels like it?
How does this guy have a $1 Million Dollar home there?
