Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump rips John Lewis: Worry about your 'crime infested' district [View all]
Source: The Hill
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday morning returned fire on a top Democrat who said he was not a legitimate president.
A day after Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said Trump was not legitimate, the president-elect told him to worry about his own district instead.
Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.

I live in the 5th and Mr Lewis is exceptional. Drumpf slammed a lot of good folks.
