Yes. I agree. It's a shame he became a corrupt race hustler. Tarnishes a great legacy.What does John Lewis have to be proud of in the election of the first black president?Let us see, what exactly does he have to be proud about when someone else gets elected? Oh right he is proud of his racism.

John Lewis has a right to be proud, and his actions, along with 10's of thousands of others, sowed the seeds of a society open enough to elect a black man president. All Americans should be proud to have a man like him in the ranks of great American patriots.
