Trump should “say nothing" about Lewis' death

[C_Clayton_Jones]

"Please don’t comment on the life of Congressman Lewis. Your press secretary released a statement, leave it at that," Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, of which Lewis was a member, tweeted Saturday. "Please let us mourn in peace."

Presidents typically function as a healer and unifier in a time of national mourning. Other Republican leaders were quick to offer their condolences for Lewis, who died Friday night, Trump waited until Saturday afternoon.

Indeed.

In fact, most – if not all – on the right should remain silent, considering far too many conservatives continue to defend that which Lewis fought against.

Eh I agree. Lewis was a piece of shit and had a hand in destroying America in the 60's. Good riddance. No need to say a damn thing about him.

Poor democratic congresswoman needs an online safespace.

Fine though I respectfully request the left does the same the next time a prominent Republican passes away they are just as willing to spew hate and bile when someone they don't like dies as the right is. Perhaps everyone should abide by the old saying if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.

The congressional segregationist caucus. Striving to keep segregation alive so they can appear necessary. Necessary to racist bigots like the OP.

I read an article earlier on this where Trump usually starts his twitter rants on Saturday morning. Instead he's golfing with Graham. Don't let that stop him from doing so later.
Graham is getting flack from other Republicans for trying to get Trump up to speed with his campaign while Graham is having his own re-election problems.

Lewis was a good man.

Graham is a scumbag and a RINO but I have a HARD time believing a democrat is going to win in South Carolina. Also Lewis did nothing other than help destroy America. I hope to god his district gets a decent congressman or woman now. Someone that will help them and their families instead of just helping themselves with a big house and bank account.

He was a great Christian man. I have so much respect for him.

Thank you and I can't agree more.

I started crying when Brian Williams announced that he died.

Mr. Lewis has been a hero of mine all my life.

He was a great man who left a great legacy for the rest of the nation.

Everyone who loves America, freedom, justice and equal rights is mourning today.

RIP Mr. Lewis. We will take it from here. You gave us a great example to follow.

Lewis' District Is Rather Sad - The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Throughout the years Rep. John Lewis has repeatedly leveled scurrilous accusations against Republicans who might resist the liberal agenda. And all along, Lewis has been shielded from retaliatory criticism by both his race and his 1960’s record of civil rights...

Charming place he represented!

 

[Preacher]

Lewis represents the 5th House District of Georgia. Trump’s criticism of it is a bit of hyperbole. But only a bit. Consider:


-Atlanta, which comprises a large portion of the 5th District, ranks as the 19th most dangerous large city (population 250,000+) in the nation. It has 1,119 violent crimes per 100,000. The national average is about 373.


-In 2016, Atlanta’s high school graduation rate was 71.5 percent. Nationally the rate is 82 percent.


–According to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, about “1 in 6 families in the district lived in poverty in the previous year. The same dataset estimated the national rate to be about 1 family in 9.”
