John Lewis Makes A FOOL Of Himself on Capitol Hill

John Lewis Makes A Fool of Himself On Capitol Hill... by refusing to attend the 2017 Inauguration. Lewis is apparently outraged over the loss of his party leader's bid for the presidency. Although Donald J. Trump won thirty of the fifty states and more individual counties than any other U.S. president since President Reagan, Lewis has been unable to accept his party's defeat. Accepting an uncomfortable loss is a life experience that escapes John R. Lewis, a man of 76 years of age.

Lewis can be found declaring the President-Elect was not legitimately elected and promising to forego the Inauguration. Lewis has garnered media attention with his denial and denouncement of President-Elect Trump.

President-Elect Trump responded in tweets on Saturday:

“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime-infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”

It is noteworthy that Congressman Lewis has represented Georgia's 5th Congressional district since 1987. This area includes almost 75% of the city of Atlanta and about 60% of constituents are African American. Both crime and unemployment rates are much higher than national average. His district ranks a 2 on a scale of 100 within the Violent Crime Index, with 100 being the safest. In other words, 98% of American cities are much safer. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/atlanta/crime/

Others have leapt to his support. Politicians, entertainers and other progressive supporters circled the wagons to defend Lewis. While more outspoken, Lewis is repeating an attitude shared by many sore-losers within his party. The attempt to delegitimize the Trump presidency began as soon as Democrat party leaders realized that Hillary Clinton had lost.

In collaboration with the media, Democrat leaders began demanding the U.S. Constitution be amended to favor the popular vote. Step two involved recounting 'cherry-picked' states to overturn election results. Step three involved threatening and protesting state electors and state governments to change their vote. Step four centered upon blaming Russian hackers. Hackers have been blamed for every mistake of Clinton's campaign except for the actual process of hacking.

Shortly after their political defeat, civil rights activists led by Rev Al Sharpton began scheduling a week of protests ahead of Mr Trump’s inauguration. Hundreds of protesters (both activist and paid recruits) have begun to march to the MLK Jr Memorial in Washington DC, chanting “No justice, no peace." Meanwhile, Lewis is appearing on talk shows stating, “I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected,” he told NBC’s Meet the Press. “And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.”

John Lewis has become the political poster child for sore losers and is taking the Democrat party down with him.

Poor John Lewis. He’s obviously suffering from senile dementia. He thinks he’s back in the ‘60’s.

Lewis is about to receive the Darwin Award. He is an extinct dinosaur.

Lewis is shaking in his boots because Trump IS going to help inner city communities. Count on it.

He’s always been on a fool.

His true talent is that on a hill full to fools, he’s one of the top contenders for super fool.

Politicians like Lewis have much to lose if President Elect Trump succeeds in improving the lives of millions of African Americans and all Americans without democrat socialist tactics.

"There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."

--Booker T. Washington, 1911

I'd say John Lewis is exactly the kind of guy Mr. Washington was talking about.

John Lewis is a racist, a liar and not an honorable man. He made up a lie that Tea Partiers had screamed the N word and spit on him. Video coverage of the alleged event proved he is a disgraceful scumbag liar.
