Trump fights rights icon John Lewis
US civil rights campaigner, Congressman John Lewis and last surviving speaker from the 1963 March on Washington, led by Martin Luther King, joined the bandwagon of the very skeptical Americans who thinks a Donald Trump presidency is nothing but all a charade movie orchestrated by the Russians in trying to undermine the legitimacy of the United States electoral process.
Lewis who came under the thick skin of president-elect Trump, fired his rhetoric just when civil rights activists led by Rev Al Sharpton began a week of protests ahead of the Jan.20 inauguration. According to the African American civil rights activists, Trump isn't the legitimate president fit enough to occupy the oval office as he thinks his emergence may not be unconnected to the recent findings of the US intelligence agencies who categorically points serious accusing fingers on Moscow for their role in masterminding the timeline of the US general election that brought in a Donald Trump as winner over democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected," he told NBC's Meet the Press. "And they helped destroy the candidacy of [Democrat] Hillary Clinton."
Several thousand protesters braved near-freezing temperatures to march to the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial in Washington DC, chanting "No justice, no peace"
Consequently, shortly after John Lewis's hard knock on the billionaire turned politician, the celebrity apprentice super star Trump, took to the attack of the African American civil rights activist, as he sky high his twitter handle with hard cracking comments which labelled John Lewis as just as "Talker" whose sermons have never produced anything positive.
Trump also advised the US congressman to take more seriously his district assignments, instead of complaining carelessly and falsely on the election results.
"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. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!"
Similarly, in a related development following the altercation of Donald Trump, Lewis supporter sprang into action as they backed up the civil rights campaigner, disputing Mr.Trump claims of "All talk" no action. Even among Republicans and Democrats, Trump was largely bashed for attacking John Lewis given his immense contribution to administration of peace and justice in today America.
Republican Senator Ben Sasse tweeted his support, saying Mr Lewis' "talk" had changed the world. However, he said he disagreed with his decision to boycott the inauguration, adding: "It isn't about a man. It is a celebration of peaceful transfer of power."
California Senator Kamala Harris, a Democrat, said it was wrong to treat him in this way.
"John Lewis is an icon of the Civil Rights Movement who is fearless in the pursuit of justice and equality," she tweeted. "He deserves better than this."
