C-SPAN tweet with video of Obama honoring Lewis with Presidential Medal of Freedom

Tears again, watching this:








February 15, 2011 -- President @BarackObama at Presidential Medal of Freedom Ceremony: "And generations from now, when parents teach their children what is meant by courage, the story of John Lewis will come to mind..."

RIP.

Being a real president takes a toll.
John Lewis...your work is done. Lay down all that burdens you. The load is ours to carry now. May you live in the peace of love everlasting. We will miss you. You were one of the great ones.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️You have overcome.

President Obama gives the Presidential Medal of Freedom to John Lewis... Asshole Trump gives the same medal to Rush Limbaugh.

That sums up the difference between the Democratic Ideal and Republicans perfectly.
