People agree that Congressman John Lewis’ contributions to the fight for
racial equality were incredibly admirable.

However, that doesn’t mean that everything he says is gospel when it
comes to politics.

We learned that first hand recently when he announced that he wouldn’t
be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration because Trump is not a
“legitimate” president.
be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration because Trump is not a

Lewis has stood by his claim despite the very clear fact that nothing about
Trump’s victory was illegitimate.
Trump’s victory was illegitimate.
On top of that, many people noticed another major inconsistency with his
claim that he had never skipped an inauguration before…

From BizPac Review:
Enter Georgia Rep. John Lewis, whose high-profile feud with Donald Trump has ignited headlines,
and raised Lewis’ profile, for
days. On Sunday, he told
Meet The Press host Chuck
Todd that, because of
supposed Russian hacking,
he didn’t consider Trump “a
legitimate president.”He also said this:“I think the Russians
participated in helping get this
man elected. And they
helped
destroy the candidacy of
Hillary Clinton. I don’t
plan
to attend the inauguration. It
will be the first one that
I miss
since I’ve been in the Congress.
You cannot be at home
with
something that you feel is
wrong.”No, not the Russian hacking part.
That’s just a red herring.
How
about where Lewis said this
would be the “first one that
I miss since I’ve been
in the Congress?”
That’s not true.
Here’s the breakdown…
After skipping Bush's inauguration in '01, @Trish_Regan says there's a pattern of John Lewis's attempts to de-legitimize Presidents!
Imagine my shock, John Lewis lied about this being his first inauguration he skipped since being in Congress. #MLKDAY
Donald Trump noticed this little lie as well.
He didn’t hold back on Twitter.
John Lewis said about my inauguration, "It will be the first one that I've missed." WRONG (or lie)! He boycotted Bush 43 also because he...
"thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in....he doesn't believe Bush is the true elected president." Sound familiar! WP
Congressman Lewis is wrong that Russia is the reason Hillary Clinton lost the
election and he wasn’t telling the truth when he said this is the first inauguration
he skipped.

It’s a shame that Congressman Lewis is having such a hard time coming to
terms with Hillary Clinton’s defeat.

It will be difficult for the country to unite as long as this kind of attitude is still
front and center.
