Calling Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a “civil rights icon” is the nonsensical appellation of the mainstream media, who, it should be noted, accord Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton the same appellation.
That Lewis was beaten by police during the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery in March 1965 does not make him a hero today. Nor do I view his experiences during the civil rights movement of the 1960s as kryptonite to be used against those like President-elect Donald Trump who rightly reminded Lewis that he should show a modicum of true leadership pursuant to the voters of Georgia.
As a sitting congressman, Lewis was inexcusably wrong, when during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” he opined: “I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It will be hard. It’s going to be very difficult. I don’t see this president-elect [Donald Trump] as a legitimate president. I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.”
The president-elect responded back on Twitter that “Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart.” I agree with Mr. Trump. In fact as indicated with what follows, I think President-elect Trump was spot on factual but far too polite.
I don’t find it magnanimous of Lewis to say he “believes in forgiveness.” He must. How else could he have cozied up to the likes of the late Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in an attempt to deny civil rights specifically for blacks. Lewis supported Al Gore, whose father was a rabid racist and segregationist, as the Democratic candidate for president in 2000. Lewis bows before Hillary Clinton who it is fair to say has seldom met a black person she wouldn’t call a nigger. (See: “Proof In Her Own Words: Hillary Is Racist,” mychal-massie.com. See also: “Hillary Clinton, Racist: Her Top 5 Worst Comments [In Public],” Joel B. Pollack, breitbart.com, June 9, 2016.)
Lewis must believe in forgiveness. How else could he be a member of the party responsible for creating the KKK, responsible for Jim Crow, which produced Nathan Bedford Forest, and supported Bull Conner? He supports the political party that had a 124-year history of opposing rights for blacks, beginning with its inception. Democrats even opposed a black pastor giving an invocation in Congress.
It is not ipse dixit to say Lewis is either forgiving or a traitor. How else could he support Planned Parenthood? To date more than 17.3 million unborn black babies have been murdered by abortion, and yet Lewis supports abortion and has voted against every legislative attempt to protect unborn babies.
Lewis’ record on illegal immigration is condemnable on every quantifiable level. He voted against the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (HR 6061), the Immigration Law Enforcement Act of 2006 (HR 6095) and the Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005, to mention but a very few pieces of legislation that helped illegals at the expense of the millions of black men and women Lewis readily acknowledges as being disenfranchised.
We the People of the United States of America elected Donald Trump president despite the pernicious machinations of evil marplots who remain committed to destroying him. The Russians had nothing to do with our votes. Which of the voting machines and/or ballots cast did the Russians change to Donald Trump?
Clinton was her own worst enemy. She carried decades of political baggage, nearly 100 percent of which was negative. Lewis, blaming the Russians, does nothing to acknowledge the criminal dishonesty of Clinton, nor does it change the fact that the emails WikiLeaks released were from Clinton’s own staff.
Lewis’ statement that he “believes in forgiveness” is tantamount with his saying he forgives We the People for taking our constitutional responsibility seriously and ensuring that Obama wouldn’t receive a third term vicariously through a Clinton presidency.
Lewis insulted We the People, and he should apologize to us. Lewis insulted the Constitution of the United States for providing a vehicle that allowed the will of We the People to be exercised.
His petulant arrogance is worthy of scorn. We didn’t need his approval to vote for the person of our choice. Russia might have hacked the Democratic Party, a fact that has not been categorically proven, but Russia didn’t cast any ballots for Trump. As has been said by others: Russia, if anything, simply did what the mainstream media refused to do.
If Lewis were an honorable man properly serving the people, he would acknowledge his disappointment that Mr. Trump won but that the people have spoken. It would also behoove the spineless, genteel, milquetoast paper dolls masquerading as Republican members of Congress to remember the same thing. We the People are not going to sit quietly and allow drive-by attacks on the person we elected.
