And it is abundantly obvious that our friends on the left made an appropriate choice when they chose a diaper pin as their new symbol...
My word, John Lewis was acting like a petulant child, Trump called him out & now the folks on the left are losing their collective minds - it's really pathetic
Everything Trump said was true - a large portion of Lewis' district in GA is crime ridden and decaying. Lewis has been in congress since I was in high school (I am 48) and not helped matters. At all, in fact, things are actually worse.
Yeah, he marched with King, so that gives him a right to be an immature jackass?
Well, to many on the left, the answer is a resounding YES!
Again - Lewis acts like an ass, he gets called on the carpet and his pathetic record as a congressman is brought up
The left (which includes the media) gets OUTRAGED
this is going t be such a fun 8 years!
this whole thing is nothing short of comical.
the truth is, Trump has reached out to the black community and has made it clear that making things better in the inner cities is a priority for him
if Lewis had any sense (he doesn't) - he would be embracing that, looking for areas that he can work with the new president, and holding Trump's feet to the fire
folks want to feign OUTRAGE - the real outrage is that Trump is correct - Lewis' district is crime infested & falling apart, or a big part of it is (the part where he gets most of his votes)
Lewis' district also includes areas that are the wealthiest in the state (and some of the wealthiest in the nation). Buckhead, Alpharetta, Roswell & north Fulton are part of that district & the district is BELOW the national average in household income and unemployment - it really is pathetic
29 years John Lewis has been there. No improvement for the people that keep electing him.
Seriously folks, we can't move forward so long as people get maligned for speaking the truth. Lewis has an opportunity to do something now, but he would rather be a malcontent - that's on him & the people of his district continue to suffer
Time to man up and do the right thing for the folks you represent John - time to quit acting like a whiny little baby.
