The Trump opposition: Hell hath no fury like Democrats' scorn
 [THEHILL] If the B.O. regime has proved anything, it was that if you repeat lies loud enough and long enough, sooner or later the people will believe them.Enter Rep. John Lewis, he of the impeccable civil rights pedigree, who told Chuck Todd on Meet the Press: "I don’t see the president-elect as a legitimate president. I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected." It was a flat-out "conspiracy." And as such, he would not be attending the inauguration--"It will be the first one that I miss since I’ve been in Congress." Not quite. Apparently he forgot that he also boycotted George Bush’s 2001 swearing-in--denying the legitimacy of that election as well. But truth be told, there have always been cracks in Lewis’ righteousness. His default position has always been to paint his political rivals as unworthy and racist -- particularly likening them to George Wallace, the segregationist governor of Alabama during the 1960s and ’70s. In 2008, Lewis attacked  John MaverickMcCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizenhe greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscowdossier in an attempt to smear President Trump... (and Sarah Mama GrizzlyPalin ... the babe libs love to hate ... ) for "sowing the seeds of hatred and division" and suggested that McCain was reminiscent of Wallace--a charge for which McCain has never forgiven Lewis. During last year’s primaries, the Wallace comparisons were raised: "I’ve been around a while and Trump reminds me so much of a lot of things that George Wallace said and did." And most recently, at the confirmation hearings of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Lewis invoked Wallace yet again, saying "calls for law and order will mean today what it meant in Alabama when I was coming up back then." The list goes back almost 40 years. As the charge of Trump’s illegitimacy roils on, it will warm Lewis’ heart that plans are afoot for to impeach President Trump. (Lewis called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush.) Two civil rights groups, Free Speech for People and RootsAction have launched a new website, and have called on supporters to join a petition demanding Congress determine whether there is enough evidence--on the grounds of conflicts of interest--to warrant Trump’s impeachment. Picking up the baton, the American Civil Liberties Union is in the process of obtaining government documents to see if these claims can be substantiated. In the end, like Iran’s stance towards Israel, to Democrats--the destruction of President Donald J. Trump is non-negotiable. Posted by: Fred 2017-02-05 |
