Trump to leave Washington instead of paying respects to John Lewis: report
Source: Raw Story
President Donald Trump does not have plans to pay respects to civil rights icon John Lewis, who is the first Black lawmaker to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
According to CNNs Kaitlan Collins, the president will travel to North Carolina instead of visiting the U.S. Capitol.
Trump is expected to dispatch Vice President Mike Pence to pay respects to the late civil rights leader.

On the other hand, it would be amazingly disrespectful for THIS POTUS to show up.

He has disgraced the intelligent, nose breathing (through a mask), knuckles off the ground good people of North Carolina. There are very many of us. But the absurd Gerry Mandering, and GOP voter fraud has made us look as dumb as the 30 percent that put your asses in DC. We were actually deemed no longer a democracy in North Carolina because of GOP bullshit. The GOP stench is worse than the eastern state Hog industry shit ponds in the heat of mid July. We dont need to add to it with you and Meadows hiding from John Lewis memorial.

Trump embodies the 400 year shame of the nation.
Americans must never let such a moral monster enter their elections again, nevermind lead them.
