Congressman John Lewis (D GA.) is a brave man and a hero in every sense of the word. His head was split open by Alabama police/storm troopers during a 1965 civil rights protest in Selma, Alabama.
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, has no problem attacking this man who is universally respected and honored by millions of decent human beings. So what else is new? It's become very obvious that the immediate future, with this despicable creature named Trump "in charge," is going to exceed our worst nightmares.

(9,672 posts)Trump has NO HEART (contrary to what KellyAnne says). Most Americans know what John Lewis went thru and if Trumpie didn't know he is just plain ignorant.

Trump isn't fit to exist on the same planet with the likes of John Lewis. And Trump wouldn't know greatness if he tripped over it. And in today, he didn't just trip over it. He spit on it.
Bless John Lewis. And damn Trump to hell.
And by the way, I'm an agnostic, yet I feel compelled to use these terms.
