Al Sharpton backed up his fellow civil rights leader, Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who last week questioned the legitimacy of President-elect Donald Trump.

'I think there is no question that the process that elected him was not legitimate,' Sharpton said yesterday on MSNBC, the network where he also hosts a show.

Since Lewis said that he didn't view Trump as a 'legitimate president,' he's been whacked around by the president-elect, who continued to tweet about the civil rights leader and Democratic congressman today.

During the interview and citing intelligence reports that pointed to Russian interference, Sharpton said the electoral process was flawed, noting that 'public discourse' was likely impacted by the revelations stemming from the hacked emails.

He also said the electoral college tilted toward Trump because of the many people who were 'expunged from ... being able to vote.'

Fact is, no one with a functioning brain in the USA gives a hoot what Al Sharpton says. As for John Lewis, what fame he earned, he just tossed away!!!!

The process was perfectly legitimate right up to the point when the election was called for Trump. If Hillary would have won, no one would have claimed it was illegitimate.

Somebody read the Constitution to him and maybe a copy of The American Republic for Dummies.

I forgot. You’ll need to explain the big words to him.

Hey Al. I wouldn’t say ANYTHING if I had $6 million debt to the IRS, with a possibility of tax evasion looking me in the face.

He belongs in jail for tax evasion.
Whatever “deal” he cut with the Obama administration to keep from being prosecuted will be “cancelled” come noon on Friday. If I were Sharpton, I’d be keeping my mouth shut and buying a one-way plane ticket to some country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the U.S. This guy is a classic liberal....dumber than a box of rocks.

Forget all of the fake news and hate Trump news this week.

There is a new great book for this great week co authored by our own LS!

How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution
Joel Pollak, Larry Schweikart
Kindle Edition

Read what really happened last year, with these two great writers.

For those of us, who endured all of the fake news and lies from both sides of our political nation about Trump. LS was a continuing source of comfort when the mediots lied about Trump with fake news or came out their endless fake polls showing Clinton winning.

If you really want to know How Trump Won, get this great book on Kindle or print.

I just got it on Kindle. You can try a chapter or so for free. I ordered the full book, before I finished the sample.
