    Calling Trump an illegitimate President for John Lewis is old hat. He's yet to meet a Republican who didn't outrage his sensibilities.

    He accused John McCain of stoking racial hate,and he said that Mitt Romney would bring society back to where blacks were beaten,. So nothing new. He hates all Republicans.

    John Lewis was beaten bloody, tear gassed, and jailed for civil rights. What have you and/or Trump done? Side with white supremacists?

    Yes. John Lewis is a genuine American hero.
    Only a tiny tiny man would try to belittle him.

    On CNN, some Pee Party talking head was slamming Lewis for disrespecting the President elect. Oh the outrage! How dare he challenge the legitimacy of the President!!! The poor little dear was nearly apoplectic.

    It was quickly pointed out that is exactly what Trump did with Obama. But he started a conspiracy theory based on lies - the birther crap. What Trump did was treasonous. Lewis is just exercising his right to dissent and free speech.

    16 Dems will not be attending so far. And one more performer has pulled out.

    So it happened 50 years ago.

    If Lewis is still having a problem with the whites of 50 years ago, who really is having an issue?

    The last 8 years of the soon to be gone administration have been treasonous.

    Holy (*)(*)(*)(*), if John Lewis thinks that, I guess I better reconsider.

    Just kidding, his opinion means very little to me. :smile: I didn't even know who he was until today.

    You ain't seen nothing yet!!! He and Putin are gonna take over the world, and split the loot. But first he must round up all of the loony tune safe space, hot cocoa emotional wrecks, Hillary supporters and herd em into all of those FEMA internment camps and keep them away from their destruction of the American society. It seems we have been infected by this brain eating, dementia inducing ET virus but only irrational weak brains were susceptible. So it infected Hillary supporters. These people must be quarantined to protect themselves, but mostly to protect American society from the insanity.

    But we will have top men working on a cure, so the internment hopefully will be only 8 years. Trump cannot make America great again with these loons running around, being destructive, wigging out and doing mass shootings, joining ISIS because of hate towards white males....and so on and so forth.

    But just remember the only thing you have to fear, is fear itself. So stop being in terror of being afraid.

    John Lewis has been a civil rights leader for more than half a century.
    And along comes Donald Trump, happily surrounded by racists and doing his best to turn back the civil rights clock.
    Lewis has every right to be disgusted. I'm right there with him.

    I voted for Hillary and am a lifelong Democrat.

    That being said I do not think that Trump should "dispel all our fears about him." I'd rather that the Washington establishment and media be afraid of him. Along with other malefactors such as mass media and the United Nations.

    Well then he shouldn't have attacked Donald Trump and call him an an illegitimately elected president. Donald Trump is in fact the legitimately elected president. John Lewis should have known better than to have gone after the God Emperor. You attack the God Emperor and he cuts you down.

    Ex-RNC chair responds to Trump’s John Lewis tweets: ‘Don’t go there’

    Fmr. RNC Chair @MichaelSteele on Trump's John Lewis hit: "Number 1: Don't tweet that. Number 2: Don't go there." https://t.co/MrS6FZMn3Z


    A former chairman of the Republican National Committee issued a firm rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump’s tweets attacking Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) on Saturday, calling the comments “unnecessary” and warning Trump not to further isolate himself from black voters.

    "Number one, don't tweet that. Number two, don't go there. And number three, step back and try to appreciate what's being said and what the concern is," Michael Steele said during an appearance on MSNBC. "The tweet is unnecessary, it’s unfortunate."

    “John Lewis has a walk that very few people in this country – least of all Donald Trump – have ever walked. So you have to respect that and pay attention to that in a real sense," he added.

    Trump again mindlessly mouths off. Lewis' district includes Druid Hills, one of the most affluent parts of Atlanta.

    Trump trolled by John Lewis’s constituents after insulting their district as ‘horrible’ and ‘crime ridden’

    Calling Druid Hills "one of the most affluent parts of Atlanta" because of Emory and hospitals (it is definitely liberal snowflake central though) is like calling Harlem "one of the most affluent parts of NYC" because of Columbia.

    Not fooling anyone. 2017 will be the year the union label LW Complex cherry-picks get outed for what they are, FAKE NEWS.

    Regardless, John Lewis is an American hero, a role model, and a civil rights icon.
    Donald Trump isn't fit to shine his shoes.

    Mr. Moore authored a concise post on his FB page I put on this board. Of course I don't have to tell you who I'm talking about. Trump ran off a nationalistic (byproduct of fascism) campaign, painted urban neighborhoods are sh*tholes, and said we should treat even that three year old Muslim baby as a radical terrorist. If that's not fear-mongering, I don't know what the hell is. To any real American, Trump's win was another 9/11 attack. And I was around when 9/11 happened, so I don't use that comparison loosely, or to garner attention. But like 9/11, Trump provoked fear into people, and made his extremism known. There are frightening similarities between the two events for anyone who has their eyes opened. Except this time, instead of the Twin Towers being brought down in smoke, its 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

    That's a falsehood!

    Roy Innis, Conservative civil rights leader who once shoved Al Sharpton on his ass, passed away last Sunday at age 82. RIP.

    John Lewis s famous because a bunch of Democrats beat him down half a century ago because of his skin color.

    Liberals/progressives/socialists trot him out when it's convenient. Today, he's an inarticulate old man who should be enjoying his afternoon tea with other old people; instead, he and a bunch of other old, 70 and 80 year old baby boomers are the face of a Democratic Party that normal Americans no longer identify with.

    He said "inner cities" , and they are sh*tholes , see Chicago, and they have remained so under Democrat leadership for years, decades and billions of dollars thrown at it by the government. Most all polls say it was the economy that was peoples most important issue, true? You and your leftist brethren are the only ones scared and rightfully so now that the adults have the checkbook.

    A bunch of Democrats beat him down because of his skin color? Proof?

    Who exactly are "normal Americans"? The frothing at the mouth idiots you saw at Trump rallies with their cheap red hats chanting "lock her up" like good little lemmings led by their new messiah? Those are "normal Americans"? Bwauahaha!

    No, Trump is a legitimate POTUS,
    the electorate did choose and he was an open book showing what he really is,
    Hillary appear cleaner but she was a close book and appear unfavorable.
    Being honest and true to oneself somehow gives Trump the edge.
