[ARCHIVED THREAD] - US Rep John Lewis will not share stage with Trump in Mississippi (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 12/7/2017 4:43:08 PM EDT

U.S. Rep John Lewis says he won't speak at the opening of Mississippi civil rights and history museums, calling it intolerable that President Donald Trump will attend.

Lewis made the announcement Thursday. The Georgia Democrat and civil rights icon helped organize the 1964 Freedom Summer targeting segregation in Mississippi.

The Saturday ceremony marks Mississippi's bicentennial of admission into the union. But what was intended as a moment of racial unity and atonement in the state with the largest share of African-Americans is descending into racial and partisan strife after Republican Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant invited fellow Republican Trump to attend.

The NAACP has said Trump should cancel his planned appearance because of his divisive record on civil rights issues.

Several prominent Mississippi Democrats say they won't attend. Some plan protests.

When Pres. Trump first took office he met with the CBC and reached out to Lewis and Cummings about urban issues and drug prices iirc.

How many black people in his own damn district has he created a job for? His district encompasses the part of Atlanta that is responsible for more crime than the rest of the Atlanta metro area. Lewis and his ilk govern by keeping the constituents dumb enough to keep voting for them, he's a disgrace and has done a great disservice to his constituents.

Truss him up like Hannibal Lecter on a two wheel cart, with the mask and everything.

Then make him "stand" next to Trump.

Nope.

John Lewis is the last living member of the Big Six. He was a major player in the Civil Rights Movement. There is plenty of information out there about his role in that movement. So, yea, he has done a lot to help black people.

It is just beautiful.

So I assume Trump will get credit for attending and participating.

And those outside protesting will get credit for attending and disrupting a civil rights acknowledgement?

Where does John Lewis stand?

John Lewis is a failed race bait political hack who has never introduced a piece of legislation that has passed. He is the product of the Republican party gerrymandering his district to give him a job.
