Why isn't John Lewis Racist?

Post by _Bach »

Why is it unfair, to portray his absence from the inauguration as racist. If any republicans would have boycotted Obama's inauguration does anyone here believe they wouldn't have been accused of racism?

It's a shame this man had to hide his coward ass behind the MLK cover for his racists beliefs.

Get used to it KG et al; The card can be now be played both ways. And I for one am so for what this country stands for: equal justice and equal accountability and equal say.

Quick answer: Because he is not protesting Trump's race. Doubt he has anything against the color orange.

I'm not sure John Lewis understands what the word legitimate means. Trump was legally elected President. Yet he somehow thinks he's not the legitimate president.

Term limits, got to get that done.

His argument is Russian interference in the election and as yet to be revealed information about/from Comey that seemed to royally piss off Democrats delegitimatizes Trump's victory. You may disagree, but he is using the term correctly. If you accept the premise that the election was compromised by a hostile foreign actor, then it would follow that it was not a free and fair election and therefore the results would not be legitimate.

Some day EA, either you or anyone with far greater intelligence can susscintnly explain what information was provided by this supposed "Russian Hack" that wasn't accurate or true, or, what actions taken by FBI Comey were not a result of original actions of Clinton.

Why are liberals so frustrated by facts and truth?
