Worldleaders politicians celebrities read this

He did absolutely nothing besides whining 4 more Welfare!

Indeed, Rep. John Robert Lewis deserves an international homage because people unanimously recognize on him an exceptional, an outstanding fighter of civil rights in general. Therefore, world leaders starting from Donald Trump must pay homage for him

Except for Trump. Racist through and through.

You hipócritas! We are saddened also. JUST SHOW ALL NEWS ! We don’t want your opinions!

A great American

Appeared to be a good man and one of the few politicians that cared for the people.

He was the strong. also the brave Black & African American people. because I remember that he was a Great friend. with Martin Luther King because he rised in Atlanta Georgia. Because my African American parents. Met in Atlanta Georgia. also MLKJR he wrote I have a Dream

Trabajó hasta el final por su país y tiene méritos en la defensa de los DD.HH. y civiles, comenzando en los años ´60. Se fue todo un personaje pero su legado queda. QEPD.

READ INTO CONGRESS IN 1963. THE COMMUNIST PARTY HAS WORKED HARD FOR OVER 2 GENERATIONS TO DESTROY AMERICA AND ARE SUCCEEDING: WATCH THIS IF YOU DARE AND SHARE IF YOU AGREE THIS IS THE OUTCOME IN 2020 AND WANT TO STOP 🛑 THE COMMUNIST PANDEMIC

Condolences to all of us human beings for our loss.

And consider the day DJT is laid to rest. Who among us will honor his memory? Instead DJT has taken any legacy and goodwill from being born into opportunity and plenty and trampled them under his filthy feet. And he is now stealing the future from all of us as we speak.

Bcz Of Lewis fight, we got OBAMA

Except TRUMP

But not Trump

Dear Atlanta residents, Don't make the same mistake again by voting for another corrupt Democrat.

Yeah, riots in the streets. Just like MLK wanted. John Lewis is a disgrace.

Not many of us will ever see a exiting president spy on an incoming administration BarackObama

A lot of our politicians these days should strive to be like John Lewis

Yet, Obama sure did see plenty of Golf Clubs during his failed 8 year Presidency.

While Obummer’s only legacy was 8 years as the most corrupt RACIST president ever in our history!

presidentbarack My President reflected My sentiment so precisely and Eloquently...

His district, Baltimore, is a shit hole with rampant crime.

Lewis joined a city bus “sit in” against segregated seats but as a city bus user when going to local airport I find it amusing that the smoothest ride on the bus are the seats at the very rear of bus..May he RIP..!

ltilbu Yes a real leader!

This is the way a real leader acknowledges the passing of a civil rights icon. goodtrouble RIH JohnLewis 🙏🏾

Dump Brain Dead - Cuomo 2020

this is a shame, past president beaking off, wow

Nobody cares what that moron thinks.Again abc doing the lefts job.

Sorry to hear about this good man, but he knows the Democrat party is not what it use to be.

He might have, for most of his life, been proud for what he has helped USA come to, but the last few months of his life must have ruined everything for him. I hope this guy gets the peace now in the heaven, knowing that a long road still lying ahead of us.

Obama so you were just a puppet for the bigger show?

Nice way to make treats🤔......

GO AWAY Barry

First black president. Worst choice ever made

Barry’s legacy is already fading and will be completely dismantled when it’s discovered he was born outside the United States and never eligible to be president. Get outa here with your forged birth certificate. You fraud.

What an extremely short memory liberals have!!! Obama had horrible polls before he left and now, he’s suddenly the best ever. Unbelievable!!

Congressman John Lewis was a treasure. I am forever grateful for risk he took, to make America a better place for all. Rest peacefully John Lewis.

Great legacy. You gave money to terrorists & released your buddies at GTMO to terrorize again. Remember Benghazi? Exponential growth of national debt. You destroyed healthcare with the ACA. Slowest recovery from a recession. Business choking regulations.

RIP John Lewis, a true leader. And for you Barack, Black America thank you for everything you accomplished for them Mr. Pre.......Oh wait, nevermind...

RIP John Lewis world democracy can never forget your services to manking. Your fight for the civil rights is always a golden chapter in History of Liberty and Human Rights.

Meanwhile, the toddler in the White House tweets nonsense and feuds with his niece.

Black America thank you for everything you accomplished for them Mr. Pre.......Oh wait, nevermind...

When animals go wild

Thank you Mr. President. God how we miss your decency and honor. Trump is going to destroy us. I’m so scared.

I miss you being President!!!!! BarackObama

Wanting a legacy is self-centered aggrandizement which shows lack of character in any human being. Success comes when you never expect it & it is never perceived by your peers because they will know it & hate you for it Obama Treason is on 2009 - 2019

Политику можно интерпретировать как проституцию, если не видеть контекст, множащееся зло, охватывающее все больше простых людей переступает любые границы и тянет за собой все то что есть в людях хорошего, вынуждая их меняться на противоположность.

Obama assassin ,Shut up ! 27 .000 bombs and sarin gas on Libia ,Siria,Iraq,Ukraina and Libya 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👿

Police shoot Portland protester in the head

Police shoot Portland protester in the head

Both garbage. ABC slobbering fanboys

It had to be so distressing to start seeing a lot of that coming back around

Obama is the only special case who would see his legacy go down the drain because it was built of bullshit...

AkilahObviously BarackObama,s legacy is Donald Trump. I see it played out every day.

John Lewis did...

RIP. Also a reminder that officers were attacked in Chicago last night by radical leftists.

Rest in peace, John Lewis a great man.

This POS president says what?

Yeah... Imagine what they will be saying about US... 100 years from now! lol

Trump insult him yet?

This is what a real President looks like!

This is how a real President reacts when a legend passes away. Thank you President Obama.

. John Lewis is sufficiently lucky not to live long enough to see how Joe Biden would fall prey to China's lies and tricks, destroying his efforts for his whole life for America, by Huawei 5G, China solar panels and China's Trojans. .
