Has a single ReTHUG sent out a message of sympathy for John Lewis?

MoFo shithound has been tweeting all night with nary a word about John Lewis - keep exposing yourselves racists - please proceed with your silence.

Meanwhile President Obama continues to lead.

"President-elect Donald Trump railed against civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, in two tweets Saturday morning, following the congressman’s plans to boycott next week’s inauguration.

The president-elect disparaged Lewis as “All talk, talk talk - no action or results” and attacking him for representing a Georgia district Mr. Trump claimed was “crime infested” and “falling apart.”


Trump tweeted one more tweet Saturday night, writing that Lewis should focus on the “burning and crime-infested inner cities.”


The attacks, launched just two days before the nation celebrates the civil rights legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., follow Lewis’ decision to sit out the presidential inauguration Friday. On missing the ceremony -- the first in three decades that Lewis will not be present for -- the Georgia Democrat told NBC in an interview, “you cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong.”

I don't care what the Trump party or Trump cult have to say.

Everything out of their mouths are lies.

Their words would either be disingenuous mush, calculated distortions, bald lies, or back-handed attacks.

McCarthy and John were working together as late as Friday. I was surprised to hear it on msnbc.

Mitt is more "middle" school, still believing the highest virtue is shooting money skyward -- as much as possible, as high as possible, as fast as possible -- but still retains enough manners to say something thoughtful and gracious when someone of accomplishment passes on.
