Georgia Representative John Lewis was very active in the civil rights protests in the 1960's and got his political office on these creds but he has done little since. He has been agitating against the outcome of this election and considers Trump to not be the President Elect. President Trump called him out on this - from Breitbart:
President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that Democratic Georgia Rep. John Lewis should pay more attention to the crime plaguing his district than bellyache over the election results.
“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”
Here is a quote from Rep. Lewis:
“I think the Russians participated in having this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. I don’t plan to attend the Inauguration,” he said. “I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians, and others, that helped him get elected. That’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open, democratic process.”
Let us not forget back in April of 2010 when members of the Congressional Black Caucus were walking near a group of Tea Party protesters, Rep. Lewis stated that someone shouted the N_____ word. Andrew Breitbart turned around and offered an award of $100,000 to anyone who could produce video footage of the event. The result? (crickets)
Rep. Lewis has done nothing for his constituents for thirty years.
