He slammed bernie! Civil Rights Hero John Lewis Slams Bernie Sanders



Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the progressive icon who led the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) during the civil rights movement, on Thursday dismissed Sen. Bernie Sanders' participation in that movement.

When a reporter asked Lewis to comment on Sanders' involvement in the movement—Sanders as a college student at the University of Chicago was active in civil rights work—the congressman brusquely interrupted him. "Well, to be very frank, I'm going to cut you off, but I never saw him, I never met him," Lewis said. "I'm a chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963 to 1966. I was involved in the sit-ins, the freedom rides, the March on Washington, the march from Selma to Montgomery, and directed their voter education project for six years. But I met Hillary Clinton. I met President Clinton."

I love #HillaryMen's enthusiastic, thoughtful support of Hillary Clinton. This says it well>>>>>

".. we focused on the thing that mattered most to us: that Hillary is a person of immense conviction, fortitude and grace who can stand in the arena, absorb the often brutal onslaught, and soldier forward in the best interests of our nation."

Love this pic of her and her family~ Thank you, Stuck~

Most of the Unions are supporting Hillary. HRC and PP are supporting Hillary. Later today

the CBC is endorsing Hillary.

AG Holder has endorsed Hillary.. 170 African American Women Leaders are going to South Carolina to knock on doors and make phone calls for Hillary.

Most all of the Dem Reps and Senators are supporting Hillary. They've had years of experience with both of them and they choose Hillary Clinton.

Don't even think about saying "#establishment".. BS called HRC and PP establishment.. and as Daniel Kushner wrote..

"Again and again, when the Sanders campaign learns of these moves, the emphasis is on their being parts of the establishment. And they are parts of an establishment. But if this establishment is the enemy, then on whose side is he?"

Wow, lunamagica .. I finally got the time to sit still and read this..

Daniel Kushner's article is quite comprehensive.. nothing I hadn't read at one time or another but here it is all together on one compact piece.

He asks an excellent question at the end..

"Again and again, when the Sanders campaign learns of these moves, the emphasis is on their being parts of the establishment. And they are parts of an establishment. But if this establishment is the enemy, then on whose side is he?"

Thank you for this.. I'll be sending it to my sister in California who supports Hillary but she is appalled by Sanders from just what she's seen of him on tv.. that's what she knows of politics.

She obviously has good instincts and I want her to know more of the details.

Muchas Gracias!

That pic is classic, she.. where in this green Earth would there ever be another pic

like this between the President and his SOS and former opponent?

And, future POTUS to take over his monumental job?

So unique.. I love it! Inspired me to go looking for another of those two

Oh, this I snagged from Boo... is quite nice!

Thank you so much!

Hillary Clinton Snags Coveted Endorsement Of The Congressional Black Caucus

Following the planned meeting with the Democratic National Committee to officially hand Clinton their nod, Caucus leaders will send their troops out into states where the black vote is a make-or-break situation to make sure that they have as much support for their candidate as possible. They are intensely focused on South Carolina, where getting the black vote out will definitely be a boost for whichever candidate takes that state’s primary. From the Washington Post:

“It’s one thing to endorse and do nothing. It’s another thing to endorse and to go to work,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), chairman of the CBC PAC. These lawmakers are, Meeks said, “people that can actually testify the work that Hillary Clinton has done.”
