Another Democrat/Socialist Show Funeral coming up!

I wonder if he will get a horse drawn carriage and be buried in a gold coffin. Maybe that is only for common criminals, in Minneapolis. Come to think of it.........

Lewis was an activist before, during and throughout his term but his district was a mess to say the least.

I actually did have a “favorite” Democrat once - Zell Miller. Was not your modern day race baiter, he should have been a Republican.

He was a racist piece of garbage, on the same order as KKK Byrd was. Rest in torment, you piece of crap.

Hopefully he and Nancy will soon be discussing politics around the campfire.

Campfire? I think it will be a huge conflagration, mixed with a rather large amount of brimstone. 😁🤗

John Legend probably expects to be asked to sing or read the Eulogy. Gosh, it will be like “Grieving With The Stars!”

Thanks. I wondered if he was the one and too lazy to click over to the article. And as with all these lefties, even after being diagnosed with this terrible affliction, he refused to retire and help a successor, like Teddy Kennedy. What is it about the job that makes them so selfish?

He may have been a legend in his own mind but the reality is that he was a gaping racist butt-hole.
