Rep John Lewis doesn’t just think Trump supporters are “ignorant of history and uncaring”, he also claims to be privy to their extra-curricular activities.
His remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus Town Hall on Civil Rights were beyond inflammatory and racist. But, of even further interest is his (presumably) unwitting suggestion that the civil rights movement in the 60s were not all they appeared to be on the surface.
Lewis always brings up the past in his speeches. That is his claim to fame – he marched with MLK.
However, if his remarks on the next page are to be taken at face-value and analyzed through the lens of logic, not liberalism – Lewis may have very well destroyed the entire basis for his career.

I would say you made all that happen.
Oh bull
If Lewis’s claim to fame is that he marched with MLK, perhaps he should advocate, as MLK did, to find a resolution instead of the racist rhetoric he spews. I think that if he actually cared about the racial divide (grown wider under Obama’s eight-year tenure), there are better ways than insulting the President of the United States, that he is the grand wizard of the KKK-what an ignorant, inflammatory statement. MLK had a clear, concise goal – what exactly is Lewis’s goal? Effect change because of violence against blacks because of police brutality? Effect change for equality? In order to effect change, dialogue must occur; Martin Luther King advocated that you must identify the problem, negotiate, self purification, then direct action (Lewis is not following any of these, he’s just blaming whites for all that is wrong). So what is the goal of these inflammatory comments? And when it comes to healing, where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who have become millionaires off the shameful racist Industry? Do these folks want resolution? Or are they only interested in keeping the black people in line (because so far I have not seen Chicago and Detroit, under Democratic control, become any stronger or independent). Not to mention, eight years of a black President and did he make it better for black people, or anybody else for that matter?
I guess you don’t watch very closely what the BLM and Antifa are wearing what’s the difference they try to hide who the are and what they are doing
This guy loves listening to himself even though most people can understand him he’s having a good time
B******t
This man is one of the biggest racist I have ever heard. Yes, blacks can be racists too!
May be the most ignorant racist to ever hold office. Does this tell you anything about who voted for him ?
No darlin, people like you do.
