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

(14,914 posts)"President-elect Donald Trump railed against civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, in two tweets Saturday morning, following the congressmans plans to boycott next weeks 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.

Everything out of their mouths are lies.
