Rep. John Lewis: Trump isn't a 'legitimate president'

[dfwgator]

Oh BS. There are plenty of Trump supporters here telling us how conservative Trump is and that he's the next "Reagan" etc. Tom Sea tells us often that Trump is more conservative than Reagan...

You think that this country that elected Obama Twice, was suddenly going to vote for a Reagan Conservative?

NAACP demands Trump apologize to John Lewis
By Brooke Seipel - 01/14/17 05:44 PM EST

NAACP President Cornell William Brooks is calling on Donald Trump to apologize to Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) after the president-elect sent tweets attacking the civil rights icon on Saturday.

“By disrespecting John Lewis, Donald Trump dishonored Lewis' sacrifice & demeaned Americans & the rights, he nearly died (for). Apologize,” Brooks tweeted.

Nobody voted for Trump based upon his Conservative credentials.

We voted for him for his Capitalist tendencies and his business/profit DNA credentials.  For his love of the military and the blue-collar American whose been savaged for the past...going on a decade...by sinister, anti-American traitors.

He's my age...he's got the same kind of love for what the Founders gave us as I hold dear.

That's more than enough for me.

Poop in one hand demand in another.

I guess Lewis et al can say anything he/they like and when you respond you are slapped with being a racist.

What Trump said was true and I hope he sticks to his guns..

[dfwgator]

Lewis basically said that my vote for Trump was not legitimate.

Sorry, I'm not going to take that accusation lying down,  and neither should Trump.

The one thing I like about the Donald is he doesn't bow to these racists.  I hope he doesn't disappoint me this time.

We'll never know. But that has little to do with what I was responding to.

Unfortunately for this old fraud, it doesn't matter what he thinks about Trump. He, Obama and the rest of his Commie pals ran their party so deep into the ground they don't have an ounce of worthwhile power.

For some reason Dems and libs think that somebody doing something heroic in the past allows them to act the rest of their lives like an anti-American jackass...i.e. John Lewis.

[goatprairie]

True, Trump defeated Hillary.  He also defeated Cruz ... we came damn close to actually seating a conservative in the oval office. Ironically, Cruz seems to be the one person right now defending Trump. 

No, our future isn't assured. No one knows actually what Trump is going to do and I fear that Putin is going to test the waters sooner rather than later.  The fact that the left is asking the CIA to intervene with Trump's presidency is outrageous.  The insanity from the left needs to stop and with fake news floating around who in the heck really knows what's going on.

Yes, that's one huge problem with Trump....he's not a conservative. In four or eight years he'll be gone. He might accomplish some good things, but it's for sure he won't advance conservatism. The country has to be persuaded to follow the right course. Trump will not do that, in fact it looks like he'll do some very unconservative things. And there are no Trumps on the horizon for his nationalist workers. we'll be back where we started.

Take a look at Drudge's headline right now.....

Seems Thiel, the Silicon Valley billionaire has his sights on the Governor's House in California.

If he could save California...he could mirror Reagan to a degree.

Brazile rallies Dems with denunciation of Trump's attack on John Lewis

Whenever I see Brazile's name now, I think of this incident:

Interim DNC chairman Donna Brazile, the first black woman to hold the position, was singled out by Hillary during the rant.   She screamed at Donna, “I’m so sick of your face.   You stare at the wall like a brain dead buffalo, while letting that f – – – ing Lauer get away with this.   What are you good for, really?   Get the f – – – to work  janitoring this mess – do I make myself clear?”

Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!

Now even the most strident of NeverTrumpers has to love that response.

And that is what some need to begin doing.  Calling a racist to his face.  Blacks do not think they are capable of being a racist - that label is only for whites.

I'd like to see the word 'racist' listed as a hate crime.

 Oh Geez........ever hear "..sticks and stones..."?

It's a freaking word.   What other 'words' will be outlawed next?

I'd love to see Donald Trump bring back the Confederate Flag, and flip them the middle finger for hijacking the language.

That is the positively the best response I can imagine him making.

[txradioguy]

Best response would have been "I look forward as President to working with Mr Lewis to address the many issues that affect his district."

What's he's gonna say...No I don't want your help?

You shut him down and show you're the better person at the same time.

It's not what you say that matters...its how you say it.

That wouldn't work as it wouldn't challenge Lewis but instead have him see Trump as being on the ropes. Do you think that Lewis would suddenly become reasonable?

What's he's gonna say...No I don't want your help?

What he would say is all the same old demands.

You shut him down and show you're the better person at the same time.

Being the same old Republican dork would shut Lewis down? Why would it work this time?

You don't get it...imagine that.

No matter what they come back with you keep putting the burden back on them

The old way you reference is to court and not say anything for fear of being labeled a racist. 

The Internet bleep routine is just as ineffective.

Being the adult in the room is the best and most effective way to go.
