President-elect Donald Trump lashed back out at Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., on Saturday morning after the civil rights leader questioned the legitimacy of his upcoming presidency.
“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to…… mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results.” Trump tweeted.
The president-elect tacked on his favorite Twitter conclusion: “Sad!”
On Friday, NBC’s “Meet the Press” published an early portion of its interview with Lewis, who said he didn’t view Trump’s presidency as legitimate. Lewis pointed to the U.S. intelligence community’s allegation that Russia interfered in the election via cyberattacks and other methods.
“It’s going to be very difficult. I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president,” said Lewis.
“I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians and others to help him get elected,” Lewis said. “That’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open democratic process.”
Lewis, who now represents parts of Atlanta in Congress, was one of the organizers of the 1963 March on Washington. Lewis has emerged as one of the leading critics of the Trump administration, and testified against Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., during his confirmation hearing to become Trump’s attorney general.
He is also one of a handful of House Democrats who have said they will boycott the inauguration, which is normally a celebration of bipartisanship, but not this time it seems.
Trump is a fake POTUS, bought and paid for by Russia and will always be thought of that way, forever, except for his mentally challenged followers, who will sooner or later find out they fucked themselves and this country with their gullibility.
Now that's "Sad"
