The congressman from Georgia, who marched with Dr. King and helped shape modern history, died at age 80. In his decades of public service, Lewis was known for making what he called"good trouble."with a moving moment of silence on the House floor on Monday afternoon.
Members stand as the House of Representatives pays tribute to Rep. John Lewis on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, July 20, 2020.Shortly after the moment of silence concluded, the chamber spontaneously erupted in a round of applause. Several members were seen wiping tears from their eyes as they paid tribute to their late colleague.
“We are all deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague. All of us who served with John know that he always worked on the side of the angels. Now he is with them. May he rest in peace,” Pelosi said in a letter addressed to colleagues earlier on Monday.Known as the"conscience of the U.S. Congress," Lewis spent over three decades in the House of Representatives after rising as a leader of the 1960s civil rights movement.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi makes her way to the House Floor for a vote in Washington, July 20, 2020.In her letter to colleagues, Pelosi said the Lewis family will announce plans for “John’s farewell” later in the week, after services for the Rev. C.T. Vivian, another prominent civil rights icon who also died last week, have concluded.“The last conversation I had with him was on Thursday. And that was a sad one. I didn't know it was the last.
"I know that if he was still with us, he would be leading that fight," Bass said of the Georgia congressman.
3.)..the rules and Laws of America! So so Sad. Americans are asking themselves to night; how did we get here? Americans we knew how we got here; stop pretending. We elected incompetent, moraless, Shamless, pathological liayer as the POTUS. DrAnGuoba.
2.)....The house inpitchement trial warned the Nation, “ He will not change! He will not care for our Nation, he care only for himself!” The House trial managers were RIGHT! The Republicans led by Moscow Bob. refused to remove him. So he continue breaking, changing the rules....
1.)America is in Crisis! Because of the dumb blind Magician that we elected as the POTUS. We knew this was coming. The late Prince of Civil Right, the moral conscience of the House and of our Nation Hon. John Louis warned us! “He is illegitimate President”. He was RIGHT!.......
Eric smallwell the king of flatulence
This disgrace called RichardGrenell a Nazi. RepSwalwell
Another waste
well said. beard still must go. some beards are just bad, nobody's fault.
100% love the message, but in other news... Swalwell's kinda a zaddy...
Like to know if Swalwell thinks GOD supports him and the supported BLM/Antifa burners, the killing of babies in Chicago, the prostitution of legislators votes for money and keeping black People mad for ever over past slavery. If he knows for sure what GOD knows he should tell PPL
People better wear a mask behind that guy.
This same guy was caught taking bribes so 🤷🏻♂️
Nicely said, RepSwalwell. We will miss repjohnlewis SO much.
Pink mask safety?
Interesting words coming from the slimy lying ericswalwell who is a liar and lacks character. He spent 3 years clinging to the premier liar RepAdamSchiff that there was irrefutable evidence of Russia collusion and they couldn’t produce.
I have more admiration for John Lewis than any public servant in my lifetime.
How rude is the woman sitting to the side
Farewell John
ABC, I like how you just quoted God Bless America! Even if it wasn't you saying it.. it still looks nice written on your news page! 🇺🇲
The Voting Rights Act for which John Lewis fought & bled MUST be restored Otherwise, due to COVID-19 & the Jim Crow-conditions that SCOTUS's VRA-decision fomented: Black people in areas w/ fewer polling places will contract COVID—& later die—while waiting in long lines to vote
30 years in Congress and race relations are worse. Great job!
Eric Swallowsalot is the least respected congressional rep in Washington
Then he farted
Who cares what lying fartwell says!!
