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.

We seem to have another wellstone memorial. Use it effectively, GOP.
Yep, he’s low class and that was not necessary in a eulogy and I saw how many stood up when he spoke. I wonder if Bush and Clinton also stood up and applauded.
Never did trust her.
And that is another reason why the son-of-a-bitch is no good.
You nailed it with son of a whore. She was nothing but a semen dumpster for third world commies. What a sorry whore she was.
President Trump is my President.
What are the chances ol’ Stompy Feet will be doing Herman Cain’s eulogy?
Something like 1 in 23,300,000,000,000?
Useless turd...
Lead poison. 2000 fps. Phuck that bastard. So glad I don’t see that MF’er everyday.
....Dont get mad at me. He is wonderful at his job...which is to speak the Commie meme well while looking good and sounding good.
He is great at his job.
Unfortunately the smooth tongued devil is good at his job. Has a lot of people thinking he’s the nicest man in the world. Hate to have to agree.
At this point, they should just rename themselves the Ghoulocrats.
UnAmerican aszhole...
We turned on the TV and saw Nanzi striding toward the platform.
Immediately turned it off and went to yoo toob.
I guess this guys “group” felt slighted by the saint Floyd funeral, had to go the extra mile for this one.
Wellstone 2.0
Well, having a reading test did hurt those who couldnt read, but at the same time, I would say give those who cant read some schooling and maybe an accommodation if dyslexic.
FWIW, I saw my dad take and pass a literacy test in Arizona back in the 60s. He was asked to spell his namenot unusual at all, but then he was asked to spell ‘Phoenix’ and Arizona. I thought it odd that the guy registering him couldn’t spell Arizona and my dad said that was just the literacy test.
How is it that everyday families cannot go see their loved ones in the hospital or have a decent funeral, but this Rep has a BIG SHOW of a funeral and laying in state at the capital building and NO ONE says a word about COVID or distancing or containing a room to 50%...How about those churches in Nevada that the Supreme Couurt said could not have more than 50% or a certain # worshipping God! Damn Hippocrites
Lewis refused to go to Trump’s inauguration.
“Does the John Lewis travelling funeralpalooza finally come to an end today?”
You know Herman Cain won’t get 1/1000th the observance.
So very classless of him. Remember when he forced two grown men to share a beer on the White House lawn?
