you would never get it. your lack of brain power eliminates that possibility. Look up Baltimore and the blacks oppressed there, his entire time in office. never reliefSorry, that's not quite as dumb as the first guy. Please try again.Well hear it again... Lewis was a race pimp. Like the shit stain Sharpton, Lewis lived his life pimping race and getting rich off it.That's possibly the dumbest thing I've heard on this site, ever. Even dumber than that is that you actually believe it. And even dumber than THAT, you get to vote. God help the USA.President Trump is 100% correct. John Lewis was a race baiter.

not at all. Lewis received demofk white money, oppressed his people for as long as he was alive. He was a demofk success story. we know.So you are upset that someone looks at a persons whole life’s work and not just a snapshot? Your upset that they don’t take that few moments and praise someone for it?John Lewis's claim to fame was that he walked across a bridge while holding on to ML King's coat tail. After that Lewis made a decades long career of blaming the white man for everything.
Lewis never had a real job, and lived of the American taxpayer his entire life. ...
sunni lacks a courtly, ingratiating manner too---maybe he is from Queens

President Donald Trump repeatedly stopped short of praising the late Democratic Rep. John Lewis during a recent interview, instead boasting of his own credentials in serving the Black community.
- President Donald Trump, during an Axios interview, repeatedly stopped short of praising the late Democratic Rep. John Lewis of Georgia.
- "He chose not to come to my inauguration," Trump said. "He chose, I never met John Lewis, I don't believe."
- "I find a lot of people impressive," Trump added. "I find many people not impressive, but no, he didn't come to my inauguration."
Asked by the Axios reporter Jonathan Swan during an interview that aired Monday night about how history would remember Lewis, Trump replied: "I don't know. I really don't know."
"He chose not to come to my inauguration," Trump said. "He chose, I never met John Lewis, I don't believe."
Lewis, the civil-rights leader who spent decades representing Georgia's 5th Congressional District, died at 80 in July, seven months after he was found to have advanced pancreatic cancer. Lewis' accomplishments for the civil-rights movement, including marches with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., were widely praised by both Republicans and Democrats after his death.
Following Swan's initial question, the reporter pressed Trump for a clearer answer: "Do you find him impressive?"
Trump replied that he could not "say one way or the other" whether Lewis was impressive, adding that the Democrat did not come to his inauguration.
"I find a lot of people impressive," Trump said. "I find many people not impressive, but no, he didn't come to my inauguration."
"He didn't come to my State of the Union speeches, and that's OK," Trump added. "That's his right. And again, nobody has done more for Black Americans than I have. He should've come. I think he made a big mistake."
Lewis was one of dozens of Democratic lawmakers who refused to attend Trump's inauguration in 2017. Lewis also declined to attend President George W. Bush's inauguration in 2001. Bush delivered remarks at Lewis' funeral.
"You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong," Lewis told NBC News in 2017.
Trump did later acknowledge that Lewis "was a person that devoted a lot of energy and a lot of heart to civil rights" but added "there were many others, also."
Trump did not attend Lewis' memorial service, nor did he pay respects to the lawmaker, who laid in state in the Capitol Rotunda. Lewis' memorial ceremony included eulogies by the former US presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
What a narcissist jerk our president is.
he does not present well------lack of charm school
Have you seen John Lewis district? It is like Elijah Cummings from baltimore, rat and drug infested, but those two sure did live pretty well of their $250,000 a year salary...Trump refuses to acknowledge John Lewis' achievements and claims he's done 'more for Black Americans'
