In reply to the discussion: This Bernie Democrat will do his part to help repair the Democratic Party [View all]Gothmog
(145,291 posts)44. Congressman John Lewis is a national treasure
I have been fortunate to hear Congressman John Lewis tell his "preach to chickens" four times. Congressman Lewis is a true hero and has actually accomplished a great deal in the real world.
This was a planned attack on Congressman Lewis. Sanders was aware of this stunt and refused to try to stop this stunt. There is a ton of video of leaders of the sanders delegation bragging about this stunt that may be used in the future.
The "progressives" are evidently still proud of this stunt. There are assholes who post on JPR who applauded this stunt. I am sad that the OP will not condemn this stunt. "Progressives" are evidently permitted to engage in such conduct in order to repair the Democratic Party.

I have never supported Donald Trump. Why would you post a lie about a fellow Democrat?
