Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden paid his respects to the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) on Monday afternoon hours after President Trump said he “won’t be going.”
Donald ‘The Void’ Trump
A repost.
G-d, how I long for actual human beings to occupy the White House once again.
Kind of astonishing … no excuse …no explanation … just nope … not going.
… certainly a classless move by a classless asshole.
… oh and for all of the Trump sycophants ready to jump up and scream that Lewis didn’t attend Trump’s inauguration… just shut up & seek help… if you equate an inauguration to a funeral you are seriously deranged.
Good stuff. I am grateful that our nation had such a great and great-hearted American as John Lewis among us for so many years, working for good against the odds and often beating them.
On TPM? Surely not.
Oh, they come here just to keep their outrage at us libs at the boil.
The visceral reaction to someone actually acting like a president would right now is overwhelming.
The current void is so unbearably vast.
A sign of respect, from someone who actually has respect for others.
This country has no president right now. It’s as simple as that. We’re rudderless.
BThe very last person John Lewis wants at his memorial is tRump.
ETA. And he’s the last person that belongs there.
Not here … but they are already tapping elsewhere
I’m glad trump didn’t attend.
I want these services to focus on John Lewis - his life, his character, and his legacy. trump would only distract from that.
Trump would make it all about himself and how much he has done for (fill in bullshit here)
Watch a dignified public servant pay respect to a great man? With no one there to fling petty, juvenile insults (the president) or vulgar cruelties (Yoho) ?
Yes, please, 1000 times yes.
Why would he even bother? Being petty means you never have to say you’re on the wrong side of history.
Beautiful. All Donnie can muster is how badly he has been treated by the press.
Thank the gods and goddesses for Joe Biden. Karen an Mike Pence are not there on behalf of the President nor the country. They are there for themselves.Trump is not capable of paying the proper respect to John Lewis. It is best that he stay away.
Night and Day.
Trump dog whistle in not attending says it all. Trump is 1970s American suburban Queens White Reaction
