Of course the Race Huckster was wrong about Bernie Sanders, but he was trying to get Hillary Clinton elected. Of course Lewis was proved absolutely wrong on that.

i.e. He will Say and Do anything for political reasons regardless of whether it's true or not.

John Lewis Gives Misleading Statement on Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton - Breitbart

(Lewis's only claim to fame seems to be that he was beaten by some racist Democrats in 1961)

I know a person who grew up in my current neighborhood in the Bronx. (I've been in same neighborhood for 10 years!). She's been in Birmingham since 2002. She loves it. Loves the lower cost of living and housing.

A person I grew up with in Brooklyn has been in Mobile for about 20 years! He wouldn't come back to Brooklyn if he had the choice! He, too, loves Mobile!

This coming conflict between Trump, the man accustomed to everyone around him tail wagging at his command, and those in his own party who loath him, may just be the hidden achilles heel in his eventual failure to lead America into anything, with the exception of being the laughingstock of the world.

The one shining light in his presidency will be those in the party who will teach him the lessons Dad Trump never gave. He will, possibly for the first time in his life, be told what to do, and this is not going to be a smooth transition for the Don, but it's the tumultuous road ahead that he really has coming. There are some very tough Republicans, and this man-child needs to get the spanking he was spared, for so long.

Many are quite comfortable with this business of Russia and the FBI putting their thumbs on the scale.

Others, such as John Lewis, are not.
OMG that is some of the most heinous irony I've ever read. What did they leak that hurt Hillary? Um....her cheating at the elections and screwing over Bernie Sanders with dirty dealings and debate cheating.

The hubris or complete ignorance required to turn around and complain about interference and "fair and square" is hillarious. Especially because by all accounts they didn't release anything untrue, they just made Hillary's cheating public.

This has reached McCartyism levels, have you no shame?

Get caught cheating and blame the people that released the info and even blaming your rival because they benefited when people found out you'd cheated?

WTH.

It is funny, many republicans still do not see Obama as legitimate even today but they want everyone to bow down and acknowledge Trump as being legitimate right now. Oh the irony.

Not sure if this is only after today's meeting with Comey.
As far as Lewis: consider the source, his remarks are nothing more than the trash he spews forth.
