Civil rights icon John Lewis said Thursday that the video of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minnesota “made me cry.”
“I kept saying to myself: How many more? How many young black men will be murdered?” said Lewis, D-Ga.

Of course, one has to pick the true God. The world’s problems started when someone told the first humans that they could be as gods . . .
I'd like to know that, perhaps he could do it in the city of Chicago where the murders occur?
“I wonder if it made him cry when he heard that St. George Floyd held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach and threatened to shoot her while his friends robbed her house.”
That “secret” needs to be shouted from every corner, on every social media outlet!! (Until they shut it down, of course....)
Congratulations to George Floyd. His porn videos have just increased in value.
Yes. There is only One.
Black Lives Matter... except to other Blacks!
Does this lying f*cktard cry when he reads that 3% of the population—young black men—commit 50% of the murders in the US?
John Lewis is a liar and a fraud.
