Former President Barack Obama used his eulogy at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to call for an end to the Senate filibuster to pass Democrats new legislation on voting reform.
Obama said that Republicans had imitated Jim Crow-era restrictions on voting rights, which Lewis marched against, by passing state voter ID laws and other measures that conservatives argue prevent voter fraud.
And if all this takes is ending the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then thats what we should do.
Without mentioning Donald Trump by name, Obama likened the president to segregationist Democrat Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, and compared federal law enforcement officers to the police who beat civil rights marchers across the South.
He accused the government of sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.

Obama has always been and will always be a punk with no class.
“....the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic...”
Effing liar.
Nothing is sacred to the Democrats. Everything is political. Even funerals.
“...Obama has always been and will always be a punk with no class...”
That’d be him.
He needs to be gone....pffffft, just disappeared. Kinda like old Jimmy Hoffa.
Does the John Lewis travelling funeralpalooza finally come to an end today?

I guess the Wellstone Memorial just never ends with these people.
Did he mention that it was the Dems who filibustered the Civil Rights Act?
Barry O. lacks refinement, even at his pinnacle during the adoration of his mostly clueless supporters. The man is witless.
Twitter? Crickets. Youtube? Crickets. Facebook? Crickets. Instagram? Crickets. Guess only certain ‘misinformation’ counts.
He usually turns eulogies into extended stories about himself, and how the dead guy was so fortunate to have known him.
[ Obama Uses John Lewis Funeral to Call for Eliminating the Filibuster ]
The issue is never the issue. It’s always about the Revolution.
Well, having a reading test did hurt those who couldn’t read, but at the same time, I would say give those who can’t read some schooling and maybe an accommodation if dyslexic.
And if all this takes is ending the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic,
LOL. The kenyan just dunked on McConnell and the useless GOP Senate.
“””Does the John Lewis travelling funeralpalooza finally come to an end today?”””
Did he borrow Saint Floyds golden hearse?
I have to agree with him on one point, and only partially. The actual filibuster, where the elected official actually goes and speaks for hours, should not be eliminated. The phony filibuster, where one idiot says he’ll filibuster a bill and doesn’t actually do it, yet holds up the bill as if they did? Yeah, that needs to go away.
Anyone who doesn’t already know that Democrats will do this “On Day One’ if they take the Senate, hasn’t been paying attention
