'I don't know John Lewis': Trump bashes deceased civil rights leader for skipping his inauguration

4. While a good line of questioning to show how petty Trump is, it's better he didn't go.

Trump is a disgrace. He has debased the office of the presidency. It would have been a dishonor for him to go to Lewis' funeral and his presence would not have carried the importance that the presence of Presidents Obama, Clinton, and even Bush Jr. did. The three former Presidents have at least, conducted themselves in a way that has been at worst, neutral while Presidents Obama and Clinton have been outstanding former Presidents. Trump will likely never be invited to State functions as a former president. He is an embarrassment.

That simple phrase, "I don't know John Lewis" says it all. EVERYONE knows John Lewis, anyone who has even a modicum of understanding of the struggle for Civil Rights in this country, has heard of John Lewis. EVERYONE in any national political office should know John Lewis. It was just another lie and petty grievance from a broken husk of a man.
