Democratic Rep. Lewis: Trump not a 'legitimate president'

Democratic Rep. John Lewis said in an upcoming interview that he's does not consider Donald Trump a "legitimate president," and blamed the Russians for helping the Republican win the White House.

"You know, 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 as a legitimate president," Lewis said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that will air on Sunday.

The Georgia congressman and leader in the civil rights movement of the 1960s said he will skip next week's inauguration of Trump at the Capitol, joining several other Democrats who have decided to boycott the historic event.

Shame on them.

sucks, doesn't it?

y'all about to get a real taste of your own medicine.

I am getting older so maybe I forgot.

Remind me, how many elected Republican officials boycotted his inauguration?

A bunch of crybabies. They probably suck their thumbs.

When they start calling trump a Kenyan and a Muslim, let me know.

Whatever trump gets won't ever be as bad as the nastiness conservatives showed obama and his wife.

So while I might not call him any names once he's sworn in, don't expect me to care about the treatment he gets

Cause he deserves it.

They are already saying he is not a legit President and he is a Russian.

I understand you tho, it was bad to do it to Obama because he is Black but quite ok to do it to Trump because he is White.

From an old thread:

Amazed that those in here who often say the loudest that they are a "defender of the constitution" then criticize those who exercise their 1st amendment right.

This protest is no different than what people in the 60's were protesting. In fact, you could argue it is more important when it comes against a serious concern for who is leading the country. They have a strong point to remind us that this man is simply a servant to us and he is on watch. The right to protest is as American as apple pie.

Remember what Teddy Roosevelt once said and heed this advice closely. Those who do ARE the true defenders of the Constitution:

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else".

You may have a point, let me check the Constitution a second...

Nope, not legal to close checkpoints to keep people out of the inaug.

Nope, Free Speech doesn't cover Libel by spewing unproven accusations against the Prez elect.

Nope, Protest and destruction of property do not go hand in hand.

Nope, holding an all nite dance in front of the VP's house out of hatred doesn't fly.

Nope, being a poor loser isn't covered.

That's strange because the Republicans seemed to believe so for the past 8 years with Obama.

Remember, many who are doing the above, learned first hand from the Republicans.

So you were raised to copy people who you feel do bad things and then do them one better?
Wow!

Sorta explains Nazi death camps and Abortion Clinics today.

Sucks, doesn't it?

I also like how you managed to take that quote out of context for the point I was trying to make.

But I wish I could say it's surprising. Unfortunately, I can't. It's why I stopped messing with you, especially you're nonsense in the pew research thread.

Also, how come you won't post the quote where I said I won't be calling him any of that if he becomes president, because I don't call presidents names while they are serving?

Since you like posting quotes, go ahead and post that one. I'll wait.

Nah, just reminding you of recent Republican history. Many seem to have short term memory and forget it a lot. Kinda like those who ignore and grant free pass on the bogus reasons behind Iraq invasion pt. 2 or the Great Recession and how unemployment has been cut in half, or more by Obama.

But hey, they still say "Obama was the worst President in the world".

Give me a break, please.

See! Our Constitution and Democracy in action!

Even we can find common ground and agreement!

Trump fires back a Democratic Rep. Lewis' not ‘legitimate president' comment

Donald Trump fired back Saturday at Rep. John Lewis for arguing that he won’t be a legitimate president, saying the Democratic congressman should focus more on fixing his troubled Georgia district.

“Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart,” Trump tweeted.

Who learned it first hand from the liberals who were doing it to Bush.

Who also learned flaunting their candidate from liberals while Clinton was in office.

Sooner or later, we're either going to learn that it has to be us (the citizenry) against them (the elected officials) or they're never going to be held accountable for anything, continue to get away with everything all while accomplishing nothing.

If these people obstruct anything in any way they need to be arrested immediately. You can peaceful protest but if you get in the way, that is it. It's no longer a protest it is interference. If this happens I would call in the police or national guard to pepper spray these dumbasses. Don't these people have anything better to do with their time? Don't they have jobs or things to do?

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? I'm trying to understand but at some point all my tolerance fades away for dumb people.

This is EXACTLY why the planned protests are people doing and acting exactly as Teddy Roosevelt wisely said we must all do!

I have been saying it for years and now the whole world is getting to see the true colors of these Liberal/Progressives.

They are the Bullies.
They are the Racists.
They are not inclusive.
They sell these things like they are champions of them but they are liars. Their agenda comes before America herself!

You will know them by their fruit.
All I see is death, destruction, societal collapse, division and unjust accusation in their wake!

We'll see about that after the protests are over if nothing has been hurt for starters or damaged either.

Second, the guy isn't even in office yet and people are convinced that he's gonna throw gay people off roofs and put his detractors in camps.

Take it from the half of the country that thought we wouldn't survive an Obama presidency, it's going to be okay. We survived the last 8 years, we'll survive the next.

The context was pretty much the same as it was here-- you whining about how Obama was treated and then saying you won't give Trump a chance and that he deserves what he gets.

What about that 'nonsense' in the other thread? You don't like when I post videos of groups of liberals acting like morons? That is the kind of stuff that happens when most of these protests devolve into riots. Non-Fox mainstream media won't show it to you but I will.

You could almost look at it as the modern equivalent of what PDX wrote about above in regards to the truth being spoken. Speaking of PDX, he lives in Portland and where I seem to recall one of the recent riots took place. Maybe he can chime in whether the videos I posted (none of which were from Portland by the way) looked something along those lines. I suspect the answer to that is yes.

Exactly. Don't they understand that when they do things like this it makes them look bad? There is no central organized leader for their protests, no meaningful message or speeches, that's how you know they're completely fake. I simply have no idea what these people stand for our what their purpose is. If you want to protest, just SIT THERE. If you have enough numbers, your presence speaks for itself. Also, where on earth are the top democrats shaming these kinds of protests? If I were a democrat, you're damn right I would be. Seems like some people have no principles or balls to call them all out or something.

Actually the most constructive thing the left could do at this point it to remain quiet and learn how to accept defeat. Protests essentially do nothing. Every violent protest that happens makes me have less respect for those individuals. Its not everybody from the left, but who ever does the protests I don't know what group they associate themselves with? Communist?

If I were a top democrat, instead of blaming other people, which accomplishes absolutely nothing, I would try to understand why you lost the election and how to better frame your efforts in 2020. Here's looking at you Rep John Lewis, who is doing nothing constructive and wasting time.

Probably a lot of people are contemplating the future strategy and are smart about it, but unfortunately the media only shows us the people who are violent, not the ones who are pragmatic and are forming a plan for the next election. I would also say the problem is each side of the isle is so extreme, there is no centrist candidate, which is what I think most Americans are. This is a flaw in the plurality 2 party majority system.

<\Rant off>.

Agreed!

However, as with everything, there is a good side to all this...

In 2 years we have another election and they are assuring us it will be loaded with Victories by Republicans!

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

I have said all I have to say about these matters.
I am officially announcing my retirement from the Political Threads.

I must get on with helping my President MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Your request for retirement from political threads has hereby been rejected. You may apply again in 2018.

Lol. I believe that almost as much as I believe anything that comes out of Trump's mouth. Almost as much as I believe that America needs to 'be made great again'. Or that Trump and his cabinet could be the group to do it.

Laughable. You are such a Trump honk there's no way you could possibly 'retire'. Trump needs his spin doctors. Sadly you're this board's version.

The Draft is coming up fellas, sure hope they can MAKE MY BROWNS GREAT AGAIN!

sucks, doesn't it?

he absolutely does deserve what he gets. bragging about sexual assault, cheating on his wife...my bad, wives. saying a judge can't do his job effectively because of his ethnicity, not renting to people because they're black.

^^^ all facts, but i understand guys like him are what you consider a hero. it's why you defend him all the time.

it's ok bro. i understand. none of those videos you posted are new to me, btw. all of those videos have been already seen by us liberals.

it's also why i understand why you don't ever post the videos of massive groups of conservatives calling obama a muslim, saying he's un american. or the articles of people calling michelle an ape and such. or any of the KKK rallies. or the videos of cops not doing their jobs.

why? cause those are your kind of people.

i mean damn, now that i think about it, myself, Rocket, Candy, CHS, Clem, portland, PDX, and others have all posted how disgusting some of the riots are and such.

you, on the other hand? never take up for minorities.

like....ever. every time there's a thread showing racial bias. you know what you do? instead of addressing the topic, you deflect and post something to go "but but but, what about them!!!"

anyway, back to the actual topic at hand. yea, the protest and trying to disrupt the inauguration process is stupid.

but since i dislike your lord and savior.....well i really don't care. this is the response you can expect after the nastiness that obama received.

and even still...it will never equal what obama went through. and you won't convince me otherwise.

**** real quick, just to let you know, you're the only person on this board, based on your posting history, that i have pegged as Alt-right.

you probably haven't, but just in case you ever wondered why i don't really speak to you, now you know.

you basically did nothing but enforce that idea today, as well. have a good one.

Good for you 40 just as I would say good for someone else for their enthusiasm for the opposing side! Its good to have particular beliefs and stand up for them.

i'm just asking a question here.

when MLK was assassinated, were you upset that black started rioting after that?

were you upset that those kids at OSU were rioting in columbus after we won a championship?

it's seems like people slam protest only when they don't agree, and don't say a word when it's something they stand for.

- I'm not old enough to have experienced first hand when MLK was assassinated and live through those times so my response may be different. I actually think rioting is never the answer because its violent and destroys others property, which is pointless. I can only say that I would probably have been upset and sad at the same time but I wouldn't riot. There should be better ways to voice your opinion, like a peaceful protest. Normally when I see rioting on TV it makes me think those participating are unruly and don't know how to control themselves for the better. But some who riot may be truly kind individuals, who see no other way to get their point across but using violence. This is the sad part, because it shouldn't take a riot for someone or another group to get attention, often times its bad attention too.

-Personally I think anyone who riots is misguided. So that also goes for people who riot after winning a national championship. You can celebrate and be happy but what on earth is the purpose of a riot after winning!? Those people are morons if you ask me. Gather for a parade celebration instead.

I actually support people protesting, whether its for woman's rights, race, etc. Because if you don't allow anyone to protest, those who don't allow it may be missing out on a crucial perspective on how the other parties feel and what they're truly going through. If everyone was civil, I think it would be a great idea for Trump and people from the protests to have sit down talks for hours or days. So before making decisions or changing laws, he can get those people's insights as well. In my view when passing legislation, you need to hear from everyone, that way you can get some of everyone's ideas in.

got you.

much respect btw, TB. i don't agree with you a lot, but at least i know you're consistent.

Thanks, I like people who are consistent about their opinions and views, even if I don't agree with them! lol.

But basically whether you lean to the left or right, I don't think its anyone's direct intention to make someone else deliberately unhappy. Some just see different ways to ultimately get to a prosperous society where everyone is doing well. Because that's like one of the most complex things ever when actually applied to the real world, you need to have everyone's opinions in the pot or else you could be doing it wrong!

I do have a problem with people that don't ever consider someone else's views and are stuck in their ways no matter what, or at least sort of TRY to understand why the opposition might have the opinion they do. And some of those people who don't want to hear others views, who don't even care, are in government and won't work with the other party at all and just hold everything up. And they're on both sides of the isle, which I don't know if there's a way to lessen those people in the future because there's money, lobbyists, and stupid things involved that stay hidden.

Swish,
Its funny to me how conservatives want to cry about protests but when the tea-party was protesting around DC, nothing was said. So now, they get to deal with it!!!..

Oh well, There will be no disruption to the inauguration. As a matter of fact, there getting nervous around here that people won't show up to events, and its not from the threat of protests. But again, watching conservatives cry about someone else protesting them is always funny!!.. And they never see their own hypocrisy!

Trump is already insanely unpopular. he's having a hard to getting people to go, getting artist to perform, etc.

I'm sure the Klan will be there to support him, though.

Over the top, much?

I remember a while back Clem told you that sometimes you should take a minute to think about what you're posting. Sometimes you post things in the heat of the moment that you haven't thought through and later regret. I could dig up some examples but let's just leave them in the past.

It is good advice. You would do well to take heed.

did you say something? i don't speak breibart, sorry.
