Lewis was a lying, divisive, hatefilled race baiter.
He falsely accused the Tea Party of shouting the “N-word” during a protest against Obamacare in March 2020. He also frequently referred to Republican presidential candidates as racist. Once, he falsely accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of not participating in the civil rights movement. (Sanders was, in fact, arrested during a civil rights protest in Chicago.) Lewis also falsely accused President Trump of supporting white supremacists, saying that he cried when Trump said there were “good people on both sides” of protests in Charlottesville, Virginia. (Trump actually condemned the white supremacists “totally.”)
That is how he made his living.
Maybe at one time he had good intentions but power and hate can consume you as you become the person you once opposed.
Do you understand the irony in making this claim while pulling an article from Breitbart?
John Lewis was a hero. He showed more courage than most ever will and he stood up for what he believed in. What has happened to this site that people are demeaning this man?
