While Steve Chabot campaigned with the racist-in-chief, his opponent was being endorsed by legendary Rep. John Lewis.

While Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) spent his weekend standing by Trump as he praised confederate General Robert E. Lee, Democrat Aftab Pureval stood with civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), and received a powerful endorsement.

At a “Rock Your Vote” rally in Avondale, Ohio, Sunday, Lewis spoke about growing up so poor that his family could only afford burial insurance, and could not afford to get sick.

“President Obama and the Democratic members of the Congress gave us the Affordable Care Act,” Lewis said, then turned to Pureval and added, “This young brother will stand up and support the [Affordable Care] Act. Vote for it. Fight for it. And that’s why we need him in the Congress today.”

“He’s smart, strong, young, and ready to fight the fight,” Lewis continued. “I believe in standing up. And I believe in standing with people who will stand up and be brave, bold, and courageous.”
