They are bestowing sainthood on him.
Another politician who was dirt poor, and became a millionaire in office.

He’s really wealthy and donated a few of the bucks he made to some locals there. Other than that. Nothing.

Black democrats politicians are crock grifters and have betrayed their own people. Lewis was an Uncle Tom to the highest degree.

How dare you ask such a Racist and Bigoted question. Are you one of those Klansmen who would deny a black Democrat the right to steal as much as a white Democrat?

Not I, Sir. Not I.

Just let the man Rest In Peace.

He knew MLK. That’s basically it. But I just as soon let the week of his canonization pass.

To be honest this country needs all of the old race baiters and racists to die.

They keep wanting to fight this war that has been over for 50 years

The answer is nothing.

And all the crowing about what a great man he was is just white guilt.

He enriched himself and his family, while his district remained poor.

I don’t hold that against him. He was either in office or a foundation employee for most of his adult life. He was 80 years old and still a congressman.

Most of us start out poor. Those of us in the private or public sector end up millionaires these days if you include our retirement savings.

He was a scum bag politician. THAT I can hold against him.

He got 3 federal buildings named in Atlanta.
He worked with Park services to acquire property
His biggest things seem a tweak to the IRS code

Great. Another thread where right wingers demonstrate why the Republican Party is not a welcoming place for black citizens.

The guy could barely speak. He was a coward on the issue of bipartisan pro war foreign policy. The ONLY reason he was venerated was because he got beat up by White cops on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and was a Black man.
