FALSE RUMORS Civil rights icon John Lewis 'still with us' after Congresswoman said he had died at 80
The Sun
CIVIL rights icon John Lewis is "still with us" after Congresswoman said he had died at 80.
The Congressman's Chief of Staff, Michael Collins, told ajc: "It's only rumors. He is resting comfortably at home."
Representative Alma Adams initially tweeted in tribute: "Words cannot do John Lewis justice because everything he did was in the service of Justice. "He gave everything - including his blood and his body - to the Movement. It was an honor to make “good trouble” with John in the House, and I will miss both my friend and the man himself."
However, Adams quickly sent a follow-up tweet, which read: "We deeply regret a previous tweet based on a false news report."
