John Lewis on CNN: "I don't consider Trump a legitimate president!"

[MoonRiver]

John Lewis, you speak for me!!!

[madaboutharry]

1. Do you have a link?

[MoonRiver]

2. Heard him saying this on CNN. Will add to my OP.

[Different Drummer]

3. Me either, John. n/t

5. Congressman John Lewis is a national treasure

Yeah for Congressman John Lewis

[coco22]

6. I don't consider Steve Harvey a spokesman for black people..

[Turn CO Blue]

7. Constitutional Crisis coming. McConnell and Ryan don't have the ethical integrity to lead

the citizens through this coming chaotic wilderness.

Ryan will be THIRD IN LINE OF SUCCESSION.

I am beginning to think that the Republican long-game is to impeach or indict BOTH Trump and Pence so that they can install Ryan as President.

[vlyons]

9. No they like Pence just fine.

He's a Koch boy. So the GOP humors him about his dominionist Christian sqeamishness about LGBTs, birth control, and female equality.

[Turn CO Blue]

15. Pence KNEW and didn't stop it. He's as guilty as Trump; moreso since he swore oaths in office.

[vlyons]

22. All elected republicans are criminals.

It's a pre-requisite for them to get campaign funds to be elected.

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Exactly!

[joshdawg]

38. They don't want to "lead," they want only to rule and control.

Leading would be considered governing. That word, "govern" is not in the republican dictionary.
Even if it was, no republican would understand the meaning of it, nor would they care.

[onecent]

8. JOHN Lewis...."He's not my president either".

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Our Country, NOT My President

?itok=3JM4Pumg

[cstanleytech]

13. Actually he is our President he just isn't my pick nor anyone with more than

2 healthy brain cells pick.

[doc03]

11. I wish more Democrats had the integrity

tell it like it is.

[triron]

12. kick for visibility

[ProudProgressiveNow]

14. K&R nt

[bdamomma]

16. He is a FAKE pResident!!!

K&R

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. He's a FAKE NEWS pResident.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Me neither

[nolabear]

18. There are already people anticipating a tweet storm.

If he does it he'll start some serious trouble, I think. I hope Lewis stays safe.

[uponit7771]

19. There it is then, and its not based on anything related to his orange skin

[maddiemom]

30. Myself? I love those little white circles around his eyes.

Guess he wears those little goggles to protect his eyes while oranging his face.

[ecstatic]

20. Thank God someone with a megaphone is finally speaking out

on this madness, this coup!

If we're going to let it happen, we can at least call it like it is.

Between voter suppression, illegal voter purges, Comey, and Russia-- Trump is illegitimate. Period!

[Stand and Fight]

23. Interesting perspective. Enjoy your stay. n/t

[MoonRiver]

24. Except that John Lewis is spot on. Rump's accusations about PRESIDENT OBAMA were outright lies.

Do you understand the difference?

[babylonsister]

25. Me, too!! nt

[stonecutter357]

26. K&R!

[Takket]

27. ... but her emails ....

[Lifelong Protester]

28. I hope others follow him.

A man of his stature should be able to provide 'cover' for others.

[kentuck]

31. He's not legitimate...

not because he didn't win the popular vote of the nation, but because he did not try to win them after he won on the technicality called the electoral vote.

The fact that he never tried to win over the rest of the voters that did not vote for him means he does not have the consent of the governed.

That means he is not a legitimate President.

[liquid diamond]

32. I hope Hillary

decides not to attend this asshole's inauguration. She is dead to me if she does.

[brooklynboy49]

39. She'll Attend

Just gonna leave it at that.

[MoonRiver]

40. She will absolutely NOT be dead to me.

However, I will not support her if she chooses to run again. We need new blood. Hillary can do amazing things as a private citizen and part of the CGA. I look forward to her contributions to humankind.

[AgadorSparticus]

33. NEVER TRUER WORDS. Trump is a TRAITOR.

[Kablooie]

34. With the Russians supporting him against Hillary he's clearly not legitimate.

I really wonder how history will judge this period?

And judge the Republicans that protect and cover up for the illegalities?

[Cha]

35. Our man in House! Mahalo, MoonRiver!

John Lewis!

[McCamy Taylor]

41. Thanks!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

42. The Republicans tried to delegitimize Barack Obama because not only was he a Democrat,

there was that something special about him that made their hatred of him a shade darker.

Drumpf supporters have not a square inch of ground to stand on asking the nation to sit down and shut up about the disturbing questions surrounding the election of this would-be despot.
