I’d have to agree with you, although I notice there are Trump supporters on here doing the same thing. ‘Tis the season, I guess

@William H Music 2020 You won’t find a date here, Princess Willy! This isn’t grindr!
@CShield
He gets some benefit from responses, so I wouldn’t feed the troll. He is clearly doing it on purpose
Real left wing marxists are alive and well in the democrat party along with their marxist allies on the streets and media.
Just which as Mr Lewis dancing. Now he’s in heaven.my God bless you. And thank you.
Rep Lewis was one of the last of the old guard of Civil Rights activists from the 1960s. It is good to see there are young activists ready to pick up the mantle and continue the fight.
Rest in Power, Rep Lewis. 🙏
Fight on, people! 💪
Opp miss spelled MAY GOD BLESS YOU. Again opp.
A man is only as good as his word. John Lewis was a man of honor, integrity, and courage. If all Trump can do is lie and deceive, what does it say about his character? 🤔
Just goes to show how sad and sorry he and his administration truly are sadly.
What is the protesters doing zzzzz, go vote please…?
America: Thank you John Lewis. You devoted your gentle heart and your brilliant mind to the service of others.
Trump: Thoughts and prayers, whatever! By the way, I aced my cognitive test; look . . . Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
I thank God for John Lewis, an WARRIOR ANGEL..now walking with OUR LORD in heaven..
Just wondering how much B/ S the g.o.p is going to say nice things about MR. LEWIS. BUT when he was with us. They why fought him every step of the way.
Dear mr good trouble. Thank you for your service and life. I’m sorry so few people took the time to spend a moment with you on your final journey; in the church, by the bridge and in the state capital. You deserved better. Love❤️🇩🇰🧜♀️
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
❤ not hate
Share a hug 🐻 today
The only way to truly Honor him is Burn Loot Mayhem BLM
John Lewis is America’s version of Mahatma Gandhi….
That’s a tough looking dude. And compassionate. That’s what strong leadership looks like.
Watching John Lewis’s funeral made me cry. I had the honor of meeting him in the late 70’s. I think he was on the Atlanta City council. Meeting him made a lifelong impression on me, that he was so kind to me, a nobody. He genuinely wanted to be of service to people. A few days ago on a video, I heard one of his friends say that going with John Lewis on a 10 minute trip took 4 hours, because he stopped to shake hands and say hello to everyone he met. That made me laugh our loud! I totally believe that! I think he genuinely liked people, and he was one of the only politicians in the last 40 years, that I never heard about any hint of scandal or corruption. I think that he always knew that he walked with giants, and had a high standard to live up to. He certainly did live up to that high standard! R.I.P.
Mr. Lewis, you were a brave and a decent man who believed in human dignity for all. May you rest in Peace Sir.
Interesting that his favourite film features a white British actor playing an Indian civil rights hero
