Donald Trump won’t pay his respects to the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis.
The president detested the civil rights icon. I suppose it’s fair to point out that Lewis felt likewise toward Trump.
However, it boggles my noggin that Donald Trump cannot even muster up any semblance of decency to make a statement saluting the sacrifice Lewis made in the fight for equality and justice for all Americans.
Lewis bled in Selma, Ala., while marching for voting rights for African-Americans. Alabama police beat Lewis to a pulp, cracking his skull. He fought a valiant — and ultimately successful — battle to obtain equal rights for African-American citizens. He engaged in “good trouble, responsible trouble.”
The president of the United States cannot offer a statement to salute this good man’s history-changing legacy?
Reprehensible!
