While the mainstream media is feigning outrage and circling its wagons around John Lewis, a man with a record to match his devotion to the black community has called the Democratic congressman out.
As these professional hand-wringers have endlessly pointed out, Lewis was a civil rights activist who marched alongside Martin Luther King and got assaulted by segregationists for his activism. While he deserves nothing but the utmost respect for his work in the 60’s, Lewis and his fellow progressives have picked up the nasty habit of thinking that this not only makes him right about everything but also that anyone who disagrees doesn’t respect his past activism and in all likelihood a racist.
What this doesn’t take into account is that many of Lewis’ critics are African-American themselves, a nuance predictably lost on the left. Or perhaps, not so much lost as ignored.

David Breyer I grew up in Memphis and I bet I know more about MLK than you will ever know. You run your fucking mouth a lot but have very few facts.
Media has caused so much division…
John Lewis is and has been a leach on black people uses them for their votes and does nothing to improve their lives. He sings them that worn out song its always white folks fault.
Garvin Null how dare you speak for how he is a “leach on black people.” You don’t get to do that. First of all, the fact that he marched with MLK and got blacks the right to drink out of the same water fountain as you means he’s done more to advance civil rights than you’ll ever do in your pathetic life. He’s a hero who went to jail and nearly died for his cause. You’re nothing. You don’t get to ever say a bad word about this man. You don’t get to call him a racist. You don’t get to call him a divider. You don’t get to call him anything but “Sir” or “Mr. Lewis”. He’s earned that right.
Second, you have no idea what he’s done in his district to help people. You don’t live there. You have no clue as to what all he’s done. You just think you know because of a tweet from President Cheeto so it must be true. Do some damn research into the man.
Third, you make me want to puke. How DARE you accuse him of being a racist against white people. He’s fought for equal rights. EQUAL. Not more.
Whatever. You don’t get it. You’re too brainwashed to engage in an intellectual discussion about anything.
Gaylie Blake no. It’s sarcastic bs.
Garvin Null oh and since you called him a racist I think I’ll turn this around on you. Look what I found? Remember…..YOU called HIM a racist
John Lewis is a racist, pure and simple.
I think these bastards know their little hoodlum thugs will be causing an uprising. That’s why they won’t be attending the inauguration. I think they should all be shot in the streets for treason.
Any attention is still attention.
