No, Obama said that. The few feminazis that the republicans have went ape ****z about it.

By the way Sara Palin did not say "I can see Russia from my house". Tina Fey said that.

All the crybaby-snowflake-get-over-it jabbering does not change the fact that Trump does not have the support of the majority of Americans.

Democracies are based on honest elections/consent of the governed.

What is unclear about this?
If you include the high % of eligible voters who don't vote, I doubt any prez received a majority. Polls, even if you trust them, go up and down. Should Obama have resigned when his approval rating dropped below 50%.

In our system, Trump got 'the consent of the governed' on November 8, 2016. So yes, despite your fumbling effort to delegitimize Trump's election, you're a crybaby

NO. Obama did not coin the phrase 'lipstick on a pig". That was Sarah Palin, beloved Republican icon.

Own it.

Civil Rights Icon? He got beaten up by some Democrats 50+ years ago. And he's been milking it ever since. i.e. Race Huckster of the worse sort.

His district, like all those gerrymandered to elected a Black congress person, is high crime and one of the slowest growing in Metro Atlanta. Trump hit the nail on the head.

Trump’s assessment does not match Lewis’ district. It is home to Atlanta’s airport and upscale neighborhoods
Yeah, because we all know major international hub airports are located adjacent to upscale neighborhoods.

Sarcasm, for those who don't get it.

The 5th district is basically the city of Atlanta and its inner suburbs. Didn't that city become heavily gentrified?

Trump was wrong, as usual. Trump is SO quick to criticize fellow Americans; yet so reluctant to do the same with Putin. Why?

Lastly, Trump spent YEARS trying to questions Obama's legitimacy has a President and NOW wants to crawl into a corner because John Lewis questioned his.

Trump needs to toughen up.

Just because someone was a brave and important figure in the civil rights movement, which Lewis was, doesn't mean he's off limits for future stupid, wrongheaded things he says and does.

Oh, that's a wonderful analogy.

Rep Lewis swears an oath to support the constitution; the constitution says Trump is to be President. Trump is president elect

Speak with your votes Rep Lewis not your inflammatory mouth
