I don’t hate the civil rights movement. The Republican Party was formed to halt the expansion of slavery. The Republican Party fought the Racism and bigotry of the Democratic Party for 150 years. The Republican Party is responsible for passing the civil rights laws. The Democratic Party is responsible for needing civil rights laws to be passed.

Shame on you!
That was a long time ago. What has he done in the last 50 years that deserves respect?

Lewis is a great civil rights leader, and I have always supported civil rights. But, the Democrats devolved the Civil rights movement into tribal racism a long time ago now.

John Lewis is a goddamn American hero, and I will never forgive the Berners who booed him at the 2016 convention. I will go to my grave bitter about that.

John Lewis is tough and tireless and he remains in that fight. May he serve Georgia, the nation, and humanity for many years to come!

My son’s wife’s family has someone that fought and won that battle. He was told he was terminal 4 years ago. No sign of it today.
I wish Lewis the best.
