Congresman John Lewis of Georgia is boycotting the inauguration of Donald Trump because he claims his presidency is “illegitimate,” but he’s taking rhetorical incoming from a woman who calls herself the “Conservative Black Chick.”
Crystal Wright told Fox Business host Stuart Varney that Lewis himself is an “illegitimate congressman” for saying something so “disrespectful.”
And then she pierced the beatific bubble that enshrouds the civil rights icon who marched with Martin Luther King, Junior Selma, Alabama back in 1965:
“And, you know, what I want to know is what has John Lewis done since he marched on Selma? Really. He’s riding on the coattails of something that happened over 50 years ago. …[T]o me, his position in Congress is illegitimate.”
On Monday, the Georgia congressman tweeted message about Martin Luther King, Jr. and their march on Selma, Alabama, in support of voting rights.
But Wright says Congressman Lewis has been dining out on that march for the past 50 years:
“John Lewis has done more for himself in the past 50 plus years than he’s done for black people.”
OUCH! Race card….DENIED!
On Friday, Mr. Lewis claimed that President-elect Trump’s election was “illegitimate” because, he claimed, “the Russians participated in helping this man get elected.”
Donald Trump fired back via Twitter, telling the congressman that he should spend more time concentrating on his job as a public servant than passing false information:
Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to……

Intelligence officials and the FBI concluded that there never any hacks into voting machines during the election but that hackers were able to penetrate the Democratic National Committee emails as well as Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails. The DNC didn’t allow the FBI to check their servers to double check on what happened.
Wright told Varney that there’s a racial double standard at work:
“If Donald Trump was not white and a Republican, John Lewis would have no problem with anything that he had said, how he’s conducting his presidency.
If John Lewis was not black, nobody would care what he is saying.”
Lewis was himself caught in a big lie by Trish Regan of FoxNews on Monday, after he claimed that Trump’s inaugural was “the first one I have ever skipped” since coming to Washington (in 1987).
“It will be the first one that I miss since I’ve been in Congress,” he said. “You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right.”
Regan revealed the truth: just 8 years before Obama’s election as the first Black president, Lewis skipped George W. Bush’s inauguration as well, for a “reason” that may sound familiar:
