Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that Rep. John Lewis‘ status as a civil rights hero doesn’t make him immune to criticism.
“I do appreciate him being a civil rights icon, but I would also say that that doesn’t make us immune from criticism or debate,” the Kentucky Republican said on “CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“None of us actually want to be considered to be racially insensitive and so it’s a very, very important subject, but I think we shouldn’t ignore that people are partisan,” said Mr. Paul, who as a GOP presidential candidate clashed with Mr. Trump but later endorsed him as the party’s nominee.
“John Lewis is a partisan. I have a great deal of respect for him, but he’s a partisan and I disagree with him on issues,” he said. “I should be able to honestly disagree with him and not have it all come back to I have no appreciation for a civil rights icon because of this.”

His days are done he is black racist pig. A relic of a era he never understood anyway. He is irrelavant into todays politics and needs to go.
When blacks protest against whites, it's a civil rights issue. When whites disagree with blacks, it's always a racial issue. If 30+ congressman pulled a no-show at Obama's inauguration, imagine the uproar. But, these ball-less wonders who call themselves democratic patriots, think it's ok to snub our next president, just because their hapless candidate lost.
She lost because she didn't relate to most Americans who have had enough with the direction our country is heading, not because of Russian hacking.
