Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) used a pair of appearances in Los Angeles on Saturday to urge young student activists to continue to fight for equality in the United States, warning that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump could set the country back with his divisive rhetoric aimed at immigrants and Muslims.
"I've been around a while and Trump reminds me so much of a lot of the things that George Wallace said and did," Lewis said in an interview with The Times after speaking at Cal State L.A. "I think demagogues are pretty dangerous, really. ... We shouldn't divide people, we shouldn't separate people."
"Sometimes I feel like I am reliving part of my past. I heard it so much growing up in the South," he said. "I heard it so much during the days of the civil rights movement. As a people, I just think we could do much better."(continued)

I enjoyed John Lewis in “Driving Miss Lois”.
Rep. John Lewis is a POS race hustler and known liar!
And always has been.
And always has been.

Yet another Trump endorsement.
Where was this guy in 2008.
He is indeed sir. A real POS, and I don't give a rat's rear end what he thinks about anything. He is a non person to me.

I thought this scumbag Lewis had already retired and gone back to the swamps of Louisiana to catch frogs.
What, no 'Reverend Dr.' in front of his name?
John Lewis. the ultimate proof that communists in the US are ignorant
Not sure which race hustler is the worst, Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al,John Lewis or B.H. Obammy?
All aren’t worth a tinkers damn as humans go.
Ha. That's ALL this man has been doing his entire term in Congress.
If you asked him to cite specific examples of how Trump sounds just like George Wallace during his days with the Civil Rights campaign, he likely couldn't even cite one.
The Demographics of his Georgia District are such that he’ll stay in Congress, probably even long after he is dead.
Lewis is a marxist moron.
Fixed it.
“...Trump reminds me so much of a lot of the things that George Wallace said and did,”

No he doesn’t George Wallace didn’t have to contend with Islamic terrorists...
and immigration laws were enforced back then...
The only one who has set race relations back is OBAMA!!!!
Hey, John, have you managed to wipe that spittle off your face yet? You and your racist friends are more divisive than 100 Trumps. Go eff yourself!
