Trump ally dismisses Rep. John Lewis: 'John who?'

Source: The Hill

BY JOSH DELK - 12/09/17 11:01 AM EST

Trump campaign supporter David Clarke dismissed Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) on Saturday for his boycott of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum opening over President Trump's attendance.

"John who?" Clarke, the former sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wis., asked on Fox News when asked about Lewis's highly publicized decision to not attend the museum opening Saturday.

"John Lewis — he was bloodied on the Selma bridge, sheriff, when he was trying to protest voting rights and organizing sit-ins," host Eboni Williams responded.

Williams was explaining Lewis's work in the civil rights movement, where he was injured in a clash with police during the 1965 Selma voting rights march, when Clarke interrupted to bash the congressman over the boycott.

trump supporters combined.

I'm so proud of Congressman Lewis boycotting trump's hypocritical visit. I hope they bleach the place after trump is gone. He stinks up any place he goes.

He is the Milwaukee sheriff who is responsible for at least 4 deaths in the Milwaukee jail including a woman forced to give birth in her cell resulting in the infant's death. Where was Clarke--parading around the country trying to get a job on the Trump band wagon.
