I am @ 10 years younger and heard of him just as I started becoming aware of things.

When he was spit on a few years back going into the capitol, I felt as if that guy were spitting on me and millions upon millions of others.

Questioning Lewis's sudden moral convictions in an election year.

This guy faced death many times standing up for his moral convictions and some internet idiot is questioning those convictions. Lewis has more moral conviction in his pinky toe than virtually any other politician is the country.
