President Donald Trump does not have plans to pay respects to civil rights icon John Lewis, who is the first Black lawmaker to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, the president will travel to North Carolina instead of visiting the U.S. Capitol.

Trump is expected to dispatch Vice President Mike Pence to pay respects to the late civil rights leader.

1. It would be offensive if he did show up. Pence should be uninvited as well.

Also, I didn't realize Turd had a golf course in North Carolina.

6. The Presidency as an institution should take part in the memorial...

...but no way should Trump defile the moment with his presence. Pence must be regarded as attending for ceremonial purposes only.

2. Well, I guess that will drive the remaining 5 or 6 black Dump voters over to Kanye

What a complete ass.

3. Good! He mocked him in life. Can't stand anyone who is truly loved and admired

[SledDriver]

4. Only Trump could engineer such a political disaster

On the one hand, it is amazingly disrespectful for him, as POTUS, not to show up.
On the other hand, it would be amazingly disrespectful for THIS POTUS to show up.

5. Good! The Idiot knows he's not welcome.

7. I think more likely is his hatred of progressive DEMs. nt

[onetexan]

11. Doesn't matter, we hate him more & he knows it.

[NCjack]

21. true

[Eyeball_Kid]

8. Trump is signaling that black people don't deserve respect and dignity.

There it is for all to see.

9. trump is nothing but a fucking racist asshole

there are no other words for it

17. DING DING DING

We have a WINNER!!!

[Kris Mac]

10. I suspect the real reason that he is not going....

is because his family probably kindly requested that he does not.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. Wouldn't expect anything else from him

[Traildogbob]

13. Get outta here

Stay the fuck out of N.C. You treasonous ass pimple. And keep that Blood sucking testicle Leach Meadows with you. He has disgraced the intelligent, nose breathing (through a mask), knuckles off the ground good people of North Carolina. There are very many of us. But the absurd Gerry Mandering, and GOP voter fraud has made us look as dumb as the 30 percent that put your asses in DC. We were actually deemed no longer a democracy in North Carolina because of GOP bullshit. The GOP stench is worse than the eastern state Hog industry shit ponds in the heat of mid July. We don’t need to add to it with you and Meadows hiding from John Lewis memorial.

14. Why would anyone be surprised by this?

The media is still acting like Trump isn't a racist?

[Rural_Progressive]

15. Such a petty f*ck

[llashram]

16. no surprise

with a low life racist like trump

[HotTeaBag]

19. So sad that a sitting President of the United States is unwelcome

to pay respects to one of the longest serving and most respected members of Congress.

What other President have we had that would have to skip such an occasion?

[sakabatou]

20. What a douchebag. Then again, who would want him there?

[ancianita]

22. Because that's what the most anti-American traitor in US history does.

May his own final years be filled with misery, self loathing and unending suffering unto his overdue death.

Trump embodies the 400 year shame of the nation.

Americans must never let such a moral monster enter their elections again, nevermind lead them.

[question everything]

23. For once, he does not want to appear hypocrite

[Steelrolled]

24. Who cares? I don't.

[CRK7376]

25. It's my understanding the Orange Buffoon

is heading to my hometown Winston-Salem, visiting Wake Forest Baptist Hospital....Maybe he will donate his brain to the medical school....sorry about that no brains for that one, just a brain bucket full of mush.

26. A bag of Gummi Bears

27. Mahalo, John Lewis!

Peaceful Journey
