Rick Wilson tweet about trump ignoring the death of John Lewis

[MaryMagdaline]

1. It would be too painful to acknowledge the courage of a contemporary

Reminds him too much of what a moral slug 🐌 he (Trump) is

[2naSalit]

2. K&R

[no_hypocrisy]

3. OTOH, I don't have time for a hypocritical passing comment on John Lewis.

I'd rather have him say nothing at all. That's his response.

[leftieNanner]

6. Agreed!

The BS comment by Moscow Mitch makes me sick. He is sitting on John Lewis's voting rights bill.

Better to say nothing at all.

[CaptYossarian]

9. The bill can't breathe.

Just the way they want it.

[spanone]

4. That's because he's a white supremacist.

And a piece of shit.

[Nevilledog]

5. Well, there is that.

[EarlG]

7. Yeah, I don't think he hasn't said anything about Lewis because he's "unable"

He hasn't said anything because he clearly doesn't want to.

Lots of tweets about protecting Confederate statues and flags, nothing about John Lewis. It's extremely obvious what's going on here.

He might as well just start wearing a hood and screaming about white power at this point. It wouldn't be much of a step down from where he already is.

[spanone]

8. Exactly. I think he couldn't care less about John Lewis or any person of color.

[malaise]

22. In any order

[spanone]

23. Yep!!!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

35. He's also a sociopathic narcissist.

[niyad]

10. I am glad that the traitor in chief has not said anything. We know it would all be a lie, and

there would probably even be some nasty little dig. Better he should STFU.

[Harker]

11. He'll get around to it when he's not "busy."

And it'll be phony, backhanded, or worse.

[HotTeaBag]

12. ...and written by someone else.

.

[Harker]

18. Certainly....

and I bet we'd both suspect the same creep of writing it.

[onecaliberal]

13. I would rather he stay silent than to say whatever bullshit he thinks the wing it's want him to

Say about it. I just can’t with this.

[Dial H For Hero]

14. Actually, he has tweeted about it today.

Mind you, I find it unlikely that he's the actual author. Even with a grammatical error, it's a bit too eloquent.

[Nevilledog]

16. He had not at the time this was posted.

I'm also pretty sure trump want the one who wrote that tweet.

[3catwoman3]

15. The ass may have a butt, but he definitely...

...has no bottom.

[MFGsunny]

39. + 1000 n/t

[Harker]

17. That President Obama awarded John Lewis

the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Trumpsky pinned one on Rush Limbaugh says more about the content of the latter's cold, empty soul than does whether he tweeted anything or not, or the content of any possible tweet.

[orleans]

19. it's about time he acknowledged john lewis (about 30 minutes ago)

Link to tweet

Saddened to hear the news of civil rights hero John Lewis passing. Melania and I send our prayers to he and his family.

[Harker]

20. "Now watch this drive.". n/t

[orleans]

27. egg-zackly! n/t

[KewlKat]

21. Someone acknowledged him but doubt it was the orange a$$

[caraher]

24. The grammar error at the end tho...

The only piece that makes it seem authentic. The sentiment is surely insincere, as evidenced by Trump's actions over decades (including placing an ad calling for the state to murder the Central Park Five).

[malaise]

25. to he and his family

Good effin' grief!

[SergeStorms]

33. "And say hello...

to Frederick Douglass for me too, while you're there".

[malaise]

36. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Sure

[ancianita]

26. The disgusting illiterate.

[calimary]

29. "Is our children learning?"

[capechacon]

40. He sends his prayers to "..HE and his family?? Just Where did our orange Idiot-in-Chief ....

....learn grammar and punctuation?? Lower Slobovia??

Actually, I doubt that he's ever learned much of anything, anywhere.

[calimary]

28. Nope. The donald REALLY is a bottomless pit.

I was gonna say "human bottomless pit." But it's difficult to think of him as human.

Inhuman is probably more like it.

[Dukkha]

30. He's still trying to figure out how to make it about himself

narcissist pig

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Quoting Chandler Jarrow

"There's no floor here!"
(Jarrow was Eddie Murphy's character in The Golden Child, for those who remember the film. I love him in that movie.)

[SergeStorms]

32. Trump doesn't have the slighest idea...

who John Lewis was, or what he did. He thinks he used to be Dean Martin's partner in the movies.

[In It to Win It]

34. Not shocked. Trump has no empathy, sympathy, courtesy or decency

[DeminPennswoods]

37. This week will be focused on John Lewis

That will really drive Trump nuts.

[Cha]

38. Yes, it will be driving the Traitor&BEANS UP

his Narcissistic Sociopathic, Psychotic Wall.

[Wawannabe]

41. tRump

Doesn't deserve to remark about John Lewis. John Lewis was a person of integrity, honor and family values. tRump knows absolutely nothing about any of these topics! He can go fucking golf and I hope lightning strikes his club!!

[PatrickforO]

42. Well, the thing about Trump is that he hates black people.

His dad wore the hood, and Trump has steadfastly made pronouncements and policy moves straight from Storm Front.

I think, though, that his failure to say anything about John Lewis says more about his stupidity than his racism, because a smart racist would have put something out and then kept working behind the scenes to sabotage efforts to address institutional racism.

See, Trump is a total racist, but he's just too stupid to do this.
