Georgia Rep. John Lewis’ comments about President-elect Trump were “uncalled for,” Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin said Sunday.

Trump just empowered this retarded assclown. The Lewis insult had faded by the time Trump felt the need to hit back.

I think it was a conspiracy on part of the Russians and others to help him get elected.

By definition, half of the people on the planet are of less than average intelligence.
I’d say it’s better than even money which side of the line this guy occupies.

Is John Lewis a saint above criticism? He is nothing but a street thug turned politician

Heard Doug Schoen on Fox yesterday afternoon literally refer to him as a saint.

Some other “civil rights leader” said he was in the same tradition as the Prophets and Jesus.

Why? Is he supposed to cower like a whipped dog with his tail tucked between his legs and slink off as your Republicans in the past have done? The media are going to attack Donald on everything he says and what he doesn’t say. And they will, each time they can, twist what he says and lie about him.As far as Trump and the media goes, everything is a trap. Did Donald make the first comment ? No. Did Donald attack him? No. Well, in your mind, maybe he did. But in reality, he just made a truthful statement.

They put him up to it because they thought he was above criticism. Imagine their chagrin when they find out that what Trump said and more is actually true. They never guessed that he would hit back at their saint. Keep posting the facts to every available outlet.

If Lewis didn’t have black skin he would have no career.

He’s been making a good living as a black racist whiner for 50 years.

Lewis hits Trump with a “below the belt” strike, and then whines when Trump’s legal reply hits Lewis’ glass jaw. I suspect little response from him.

As someone pointed out the other day, it’s like in the movie “A Christmas Story”, everybody was scared of Scut Farkus until Ralphie finally stood up to him.

Trump needs to drop this Lewis thing. It was all a trap IMO.

HELL NO!

Lewis referred to Mr. Trump as illegitimate and somehow thinks that being black on MLK Day gives him a pass for his petulance and disrespect?

I don't think so.

From what I've witnessed in the past year and more, is that anytime someone earns Trumps attention, they can't stop trying to get more and more attention, until they are made total fools of in front of the public. It's almost like watching Brier Rabbit fight with tar...
