In Hatti Bush put Clinton in charge , and not one fresh water well drilled fir the public use but many fir friends of Clinton who made money off hatti

If white supremacy is so prevalent then why is it 70 % of children born today are of mixed race , explain that to us who live out here , not behind your gated homes like Hollywood stars like Nancy Pelosi, look at how the Clinton did to the people of Hatti , not one public 💦 well

Just because Democratics socialist party and mainstream media only puts blacks who died from that .001 % of bad cops, during election time, and the cop who killed Floyd, had equal claims of brutality against him white and black , Amy Cobishsr was one who let him stay on as cop

MelissaJPeltier Amen

Yawn.....

There always has to be prejudice haters In comments. If you don’t like or didn’t like President Obama or John Lewis stay out of the comments. This is about eulogizing Congressmen John Lewis, not about liking or not liking President Obama. Stay away !

Funeral services for us elites not you peasants

Rockmedia And the eulogy will be beautiful and eloquent ♥️

Oh gee, I wonder if he will make any derogatory comments about 45? Or an insinuation about corruption in the justice department? Or try to prop Joe Biden, as opposed to just highlighting the career of a remarkable man.

You know you could have put the time this starts in your article.

Hey realDonaldTrump This is how someone who has class and integrity acts.
