 John Lewis Says He Gets Taunted By People Who Yell "Trump!" At Him

Sen. Cory Booker released a podcast on MLK Day, and his first guest was John Lewis.
Posted on January 15, 2018, at 11:18 a.m.

Darren Sands
BuzzFeed News Reporter

Georgia lawmaker Rep. John Lewis said he gets taunted in public, recalling a specific account of boarding a plane where someone was shouting "Trump!" at him.

On Lift Every Voice, a new podcast by Sen. Cory Booker, Lewis said the taunt happened on a recent flight he had taken from Atlanta to Washington.

"I was coming back to Washington on Sunday night," Lewis said. "I was on a flight from Atlanta. And I'm walking down the aisle and the gentleman said as loud as he could, 'Trump!' So I didn't — I just kept walking. I didn't say anything. And sometimes I'm walking in the airport in different places. I guess [people think] they're getting to me or harassing me. But they don't understand... I've been called many, many things. But I'm not going to let anything get me down. I'm going to keep walking, keep moving."

So is he implying that saying   "Trump" is the new "N" word for this poor race baiting asshat?

So far as I know, no one's ever died from having the name of the current President yelled at them.

C'mon Wingnut, gotta give these 'Trump' sayers a little more credit.

It's still legal, and they must a been hoping.

Yes, that is probably next.

Those doughy, pouty faced putz is a man who did not a single thing for his constituents in his long tenure as a Representative.

I guess he liked it better when they were throwing bricks at his fat empty head instead of the Presidents name.

If John Lewis passed me in the street I'd cross over to the otherside from the smell of his desperation wafting in the air like a fat ladys taco bell breakfast burrito fart hanging in the air at the walmart check-out line.

Isn't Lewis the fish face who claimed he got spit on by TEA partiers, yet nobody could come up with a video to prove it, even with a $100,000 bounty?  This is when it "happened":

Nope!  I would definitely yell "Trump" at him and I'd put it in big letters.

Will it soon become racis' to speak the word "Trump" in the presence of a black?

He is the epitome of what a racist is, so that is what he should be called.

Racist? That is impossible. He is too fat and old to run any sort of race.

@Wingnut

He doesn't know any more about what he is implying than we do. He's not very smart.
