Congressional Black Caucus chair encourages Trump to stay silent on Lewis's death:
'Please let us mourn in peace'
Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, urged President Trump to remain silent on Rep. John Lewis's (D-Ga.) recent death, suggesting his remarks would serve as an unwanted distraction.
".@realDonaldTrump while the nation mourns the passing of a national hero, please say nothing. Please don't comment on the life of Congressman Lewis. Your press secretary released a statement, leave it at that," she tweeted. "Please let us mourn in peace."

Lewis, who represented an Atlanta-area district for 17 terms, was a titan in the civil rights movement and had garnered respect from both Democrats and Republicans. He died Friday night at the age of 80.
