Lewis boycotted Bush's inauguration as well

[RickWA]

Yes indeed. A fine, dignified man with a rational grievance.

Or, rather, a geezed-out political hack who relies on milking half-century old civil rights events and parlaying that into contemporary retardation.

The other party's candidate is illegitimate. :-/

Well-stated.

 

[Saladin2]

W Bush?....Good......Trump is an illegitimate ass hole.....Good to see the boycott

You and Lewis can raise a toast together (or a donut, whatever).

There you go...Keep talking donuts.....Many will still boycott that ass hole Trump

I hear Lewis likes apple fritters. Make sure you bring extra.

Wow, what an original tactic by John Lewis. Already played this card John. Change the record already.
I get it, your side lost.

I thought you were tough and could deal with adversity?

What happened Rep. Lewis? What happened to comity, decorum, and confronting the issues facing Americans?

Now it's run and hide? Again?

“You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of apple fritters and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.”

Lewis lied.
He said in this interview that Trump's is the first inauguration he will have missed since he came to Congress.

But.................it turns out he also chose not to attend Bush's inauguration.

Icon?
He was, but he's squandered that.
Liar?
Either that or he's senile.

Hmm, I suspect all white people look alike to him, and he can't tell who's inauguration he's ditching this time.

John Lewis has survived against other white bigots like you that wished him harm...He will be just fine

That makes him a liar right there. He claims this will be the first inauguration he will miss since he has been congress critter.

 

[Alinvegas]

Surly he could tell the difference by the hair. LOLOL

You nailed it....

 

[talksalot]

There are at least 30 Democrats who are vowing to boycott Trump's inauguration. Dems boycotted GWB's inauguration too.

Republicans who boycotted President Obama's inauguration....O

Have Republicans ever boycotted an inauguration....?

 

[Dino]

John Lewis has survived against other white bigots like you that wished him harm...He will be just fine

Oh?
That's a racist thing to say?
No possibility. Direct quotes from renowned liberals cannot be racist.

Everything lefty does is duplicitous.

Lies are an important part of a balanced lefty breakfast.

I don't think you're old enough to remember 1965, but I am, and so is Trump; neither he nor I was anywhere close to the Edmund Pettus Bridge:

https://www.democracynow.org/2017/1/17/trump_attacks_civil_rights_icon_john

"At least 42 Democrats plan to boycott Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration this Friday, after Trump used the weekend to attack civil rights icon John Lewis. On Friday, Democratic Congressmember Lewis questioned the legitimacy of Trump’s election during an interview on NBC News.

"Early on Saturday morning on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, Donald Trump hit back at Lewis on Twitter, saying he was 'All talk, talk, talk–no action.' Trump’s comments sparked a massive national backlash. Congressmember Lewis is a civil rights legend.

"In 1965, he was beaten almost to death by Alabama state troopers as he attempted to lead a voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. The images from what came to be known as Bloody Sunday helped galvanize support for the Voting Rights Act signed into law months later."

There are reports alleging the first time Donald Trump was interviewed in the New York Times (1973) he was responding to a question about how he and his father were engaging in racial discrimination in their rental units???

H'mmm...I thought you were going to point how the little sawed off SOB lied about his inauguration attendance record.

Yesterday being a National Holiday in remembrance of Dr. King's birthday it's appropriate to remember his admonition about not judging by the color of the skin but the content of the character, John Lewis failed miserably.

That's the year I was born, so you are correct. But my intent wasn't so much to support anyone's position in the matter. The fact is that a career politician tried to badge this thing as a profound stand when he did the same thing the last time a non-Democrat was elected prez.

There's no heroism there.
