WASHINGTON—Former President Barack Obama on Thursday heralded the late Rep. John Lewis as a “founding father” whose legacy of activism transformed American democracy, while warning that the nation must remain “vigilant against the darker currents of this country’s history.”
Paying tribute to Mr. Lewis along with former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton at Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was once a co-pastor, Mr. Obama said Mr. Lewis was perhaps Dr. King’s “finest disciple.”

rhondaleeindc Good bye GTIMO Lewis.
Hateful individual. Refused to attend President Trump's inauguration. Didn't get his way, took his ball and went home.
Net worth going in ? Net worth going out ?
I think John Lewis was a good guy, and hell of a patriot, but he had very bad taste in friends. Clinton the rapist would not have been one of my choices RIP
No...they're all the same party
John Lewis bikām a nik nak on ða Dem ornamentl mantlpēs. Luk it lewis' boltimor. A sespit. POTUS has dun mor fr Americans ðan Lewis in his līftīm.
Even President Carter sent condolences. Some people just have manners and class. Some don’t (guess who?)
Tell Clinton to put on his damn mask
Come tomorrow business as usual 😏
