Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), the only person alive who spoke during Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic March on Washington, was verbally taunted on a D.C. to Atlanta flight over the weekend. The civil rights legend shared his story on Senator Cory Booker’s new podcast “Lift Every Voice.”

“I’m walking down the aisle, and the gentleman said as loud as he could, ‘Trump!” recounted Lewis. “The 77-year-old has been a vocal critic of Trump, refusing to attend the Civil Rights Museum opening in Mississippi if Trump was in attendance and Trump’s State of the Union speech scheduled for January 30.

Claims hearing the single word “Trump” did not faze him. Then he makes it into a major news story.

Payback is a bitch. RATs can’t take the crap they’ve been dishing out for decades! These spineless, gutless bottom feeders don’t like it when the recipients of their crap climb in their gutter and shove their feces back at them. Kind of puts a tear in your eye and a smile on your face!

I was watching an old Johnny Carson show from 1973 the other night and one of his guests was a young George Foreman, he had just won the Heavy Weight title from Joe Frazier. Great interview by Carson.

So one person says the word “Trump” ONCE and this cry-baby Democrat asshole whines about it and AOL calls it a “chant”?

When do we reach our breaking point of tolerance for these sub-humans? Hell, if I were there they would have thrown me off the airplane because I WOULD have lit into their pea-brained “hero.”

Oprah Winfrey did a "Master Class" interview with John Lewis for MLK day. One of the quotes has just befuddled me. It was featured in the promos for the show.

"Non-violence is not the absence of violence, but the presence of justice."

Can anyone tell me what the f*** that means?

If you look up the phrase “one note sonata” in the Urban Dictionary, you see his photo.

Couldn’t stop laughing during Booker’s over-the-top performance in the Senate hearing today - this is just about as funny......
Proving once again, politics is show biz for the ugly. Show biz is politics for the stupid. Though oftentimes the lines are blurred.

On a recent MSNBC appearance, Lewis said Trump speaks and behaves like someone who knows a lot about being a racist.

“It must be in his DNA, his make-up,” said the congressman.

Sounds like a racist statement about white people's DNA to me. Democrats must immediately disavow John Lewis' racism.

Lewis ,the Lemon salesman! Do you mean the Don Lemon, salesman?

Maybe he has his job because he is a black gay who prefers white homosexuals?

CNN veteran anchor Don Lemon, 51, leaves SNL after party holding hands with rumored boyfriend.

Why does Don Lemon only have homosexual relations with white men...? Seems racist!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

“Non-violence is not the absence of violence, but the presence of justice.”

Thats easy.

When Holder’s peeps play knock-out and other forms of White Genocide it’s racist to call it violence, so the left calls it Justice.
