Don't most politicians have skeletons in their closets
Yeah but Lewis got a baby with Nancy Reagan. You might know him as Craig David.
Although his is a politician, he is not really looked at as one. More of a civil rights icon. Just praying that his personal business stays personal. I think it is a setup by Trump.

But why him why target him? Trump has nothing to gain attacking him
Rep. John Lewis’s books sell out following Donald Trump’s attacks

One side-effect of Rep. John Lewis's heated and very public spat with President-elect Donald Trump: Ballooning interest in books written by the civil rights icon.
The Georgia Democrat's “Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement” was sold out on Amazon and was the site's No. 2 bestseller. Used copies of the hardcover edition were going for nearly $100.
Claiming the top spot on the list was another book by Lewis: “March,” a graphic-novel trilogy about the civil rights movement. The third installment won the National Book Award last year.
Amazon listed both books as “temporarily out of stock” on Sunday. Sales for both had ballooned more than 100,000 percent, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. (Disclosure: Jeffrey P. Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, is also the owner of the The Washington Post.)
On Friday, Lewis said he didn't see Trump as a legitimate president and wouldn't be attending the inauguration for the first time in 30 years.

Key to his decision, Lewis said, was Russia's alleged hacking of the presidential election, which the congressman argues helped Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
Trump struck back on Twitter, saying Lewis needed to focus on his congressional district, “which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.”
Trump said Lewis is “All talk, talk, talk — no action or results.”
The growing feud, just before Martin Luther King Day, widened a rift that's existed between Trump and the Congressional Black Caucus since the Republican questioned whether Obama was born in the United States and could legitimately be elected president. Obama produced a birth certificate in 2012.
On NBC'S "Meet the Press" Sunday, Lewis said he would not invite Trump to visit Selma, Ala., with him. Lewis has invited various politicians to the site of historic marches for voting rights, including Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

One thing I have seen about Trump is that everything he does is calculated. It looks stupid at the beginning, but it ends up helping him. Congressman Lewis is one of the longest tenured, most well respected Democrats in Washington. He keeps throwing jabs at Trump, and Trump knows things about him that most don't. Trump takes a shot at him on King Holiday, everybody is in an uproar. Wait on the next move.
He is playing chess. Watch the moves.
In 1964 Malcom X said: "The 1st thing the white racist does when he comes to power, he takes all the Negro leaders & invites them for coffee. To show that he's alright. And those Uncle Tom's they can't pass up the coffee. They come away from the coffee table telling you & me that this man is alright."
~Excerpt from the speech The Ballott Or The Bullet.
NO i am not giving him this credit he is just an asshole
A lot of the posting here shows that...
It's easier for many of US to want to "destroy" ourselves than it is to go after White Supremacy and its Representatives.
Say what you want...
But I many of US couldn't even handle what cats like John Lewis went through in those days.
And though even I'm upset at times that we as a people haven't progressed further,
It just goes to show that we are in constant Battle Mode.
And if we have to continue to focus on trivial inner-fighting shit instead of realizing that,
Then we are DONE!

Stepping in dangerous territory by suggesting that the Russian's got Trump elected. But then again, that "selected, not elected" tag followed Obama as well.
What John is saying is true. No US President is really elected, per se. But what he's saying will be dismissed. Mainly because folks will view him as a crazy old Man whose bitter because Trump Won.
Dont worry. John will be alright!!
Its also possible to focus on ourselves and not respond to every little bitch fit from people with inferiority complexes.
Me improving myself and helping other Black folks who need help getting back on their square is helping to fight White Supremacy.
I understand folks are paranoid about whats coming down the pipe in the next 4 years...but i just cant subscribe to the "Fear The Trump" Parade.
Yeah, I know....but thats what the majority call it.
Its all a mind game.
The Repubs will re-write the entire thing and re-release it. Its still gonna be synonymous w/ Obama, but to the people who want to erase the last 8 yrs out of their minds...it'll be called "Make America Great Again Care"...or some stupid shit like that.
When the system fails in a few years, because its overloaded by Americans who choose to stay unhealthy, and because its not managed properly, Health care will be rationed out...Americans wil start complaining....then the blame will be put back on Obama. It is what it is.

I agree with most of what you said but we also must remember was that a lot of what John Lewis and the civil rights folks went thru was by choice. There were many blacks in the south and the north who were not interested in fitting in with whites and looking for acceptance from them. My pops and his brothers were all in that era, went to Morehouse with Dr. King, and would never have let a cracker hit them or assault them, and not died trying to fight. They also were never interested in fitting in with white folks. They were all about black empowerment and black business. We grew up thinking they were crazy because in Atlanta all the Civil rights icon's were celebrated, which was by design, but now when I look back on it, I realize that my pops and his brothers were on the right track.
All this concern for MLK'ss birthday weekend and the eve of MKL's birthday.
And not one comment in regards to it.
Admit it you are just mad cause it was Trump that said the shit.
I remember some of you calling Lewis a coon when he forgave the Klansman..
Now he is an icon and you are so incensed over him being dissed.
5 pages pissed....yeah okay
Lewis, 68, who had been a 21-year-old seminary student in 1961, said without pause, to the only man to ever admit being one of the mob who beat him and another civil rights protester: "I forgive you."

A good majority don't know the ACA is aka Obamacare (they just know they hate Obama). Just like a bunch dumb mutherfuckers from the same party and persuasion didn't know medicaid/care and SS are government programs.

Most these "SUPPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS" were under the control of the khazrians from the very start. They just didn't know it?
Who really founded the NAACP? I can tell you but you need to do some research on your own.
When the khazarian emerged from hell with power and federal reserve notes in exchange for their soul and the soul of the BLACK COMMUNITIES they represent, theses "SUPPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS" were all to eager to close the sale.
Most of these "SUPPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS" have become a piece of shit and a detriment to the progress of the BLACK COMMUNITY.
Please let all the truth out, good or bad.
So the BLACK COMMUNITY may cleanse its colon.
If you so dislike these "civil rights" folks. Then get out there and replace them. Show us what you got.

Thoughts and words of a free and decolonized mind. 85% of the BGOL blind, death and dumb slaves could never ever conceive this.
PEACE TO YOUR FATHER AND UNCLES!!!

BROTHER, at you came out of the fog of tricknology the khazarian has the COUNTRY in, especially the BLACK COMMUNITY.
That entire movement and icons you always here about was all a big khazarian trick.
Kats need to really study what they tell you is bad and off limits. And not all this fake history, leaders and movements.

Peace BROTHER,
Nice Drop!
John Lewis sold his soul, dignity and self-respect many, many moons ago. His khazarian controller told him to go and forgive. Like a good negroe, be consilatory and non-threatening...AND HE DID!!!
These BGOL kats for the most part follow the lead of the khazarian. Any thought they plant in the media BGOL kats eat up hook line and sinker.
Just like Lew
It is a very simple response because I am tired of hearing people complain about these folks. The simple answer is to get out there and replace them.
Ok cool...now what's next?
If you mean between me and you? Nothing! I'm cool.
Not trying to have a war of words.
Hopefully, the truth comes out about any and all bullshit. Not just related to Civil Rights, leaders, movement and its khazarian controllers. But every mutha fuck'in thing!
So, the BLACK COMMUNITY is armed with truth to navigate the appropriate course forward as individuals and a stronger community.
I don't mean between you and me. The point is we can tell the truth about everything but if people are looking for leaders. Then they need to stop waiting for them or go out there and be one.
There is no such thing as a perfect person and everyone will have their flaws, etc....but the bottomline is if you are unsatisfied with those who call themselves leaders....get to work.

Ok my bad.
"The point is we can tell the truth about everything"
That's a great start and first step.
"but if people are looking for leaders. Then they need to stop waiting for them or go out there and be one."
Ok, that's the disconnect. You think I'm looking for a leader.
I don't believe in these dudes BLACK or white.
I long ago realized these supposed leaders have all been compromised, bought and paid for. So, they can't do anything of real value for BLACK PEOPLE or their community. Hell they won't even tell you the truth.
"There is no such thing as a perfect person and everyone will have their flaws, etc....but the bottom line is if you are unsatisfied with those who call themselves leader....get to work."
I know they ain't my leader or my community's leader. They are some pawn in a grand scheme:
- some low-level khazarian or cracka got from his mid-level controller.
- After some well paid khazarian or cracka in think tank drafted it
- and passed it on to a higher-level controller.
Peace BRO.
Have an excellent remainder of the weekend!
Notice how the Amoral Assholes in the #FBgAyDOS crew can't wait to (continue to) SHIT on John Lewis' not even dead yet body EXACTLY the same way they PISSED ON Elijah Cummings' still warm corpse. [/disrespectful] [/disgusting]
