Did you know Rep. John Lewis did not attend "W's" inauguration either. Democrats know the media will not fact check.

So, is Mr. Lewis anti white?

Trump fires back at Lewis’ inauguration claim



Donald Trump again lashed out at civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis on Tuesday, calling him either “wrong” or a liar.
“John Lewis said about my inauguration, ‘It will be the first one that I’ve missed,’” Trump said, kicking off a duo of tweets.
“WRONG (or lie)! He boycotted Bush 43 also because he ‘thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush’s swearing-in….he doesn’t believe Bush is the true elected president.’ Sound familiar! WP,” Trump said.
WP appears to be a reference to the Washington Post, which reported in 2001 that Lewis did not attend former President George W. Bush’s inauguration, instead choosing to spend the day in his Atlanta district.
Trump’s tirade comes in response to Lewis (D-Ga.) announcing days ago that he’d skipping the president-elect’s swearing in, because, he said, “I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president.”
Trump issued a response to Lewis over the weekend. “Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!” he said on Twitter Saturday.
Since Trump’s first attack on Lewis, 30 members of Congress have said they will not attend the inauguration.
