OMG The internets are ragging on Little Marco something awful for his John Lewis faux pas.

It is brutal out there.

I imagine one of his staff posted it, but as I thought this over, I think he should have had enough respect for Lewis to at least look at the Tweet before it went out.

If I let one rip at a dinner party, that's a faux pas. These white politicians tweeting pics of black men NOT John Lewis is flat-out racist and highly disrespectful. These fuckers can't even act right in death. All I gotta say is that these young protesters/rioters/whatever need to get their asses to the polls in November and vote for Biden and whomever else has the "D" behind their name (and not that asshole Kanye, should he end up on any ballots...).
