JUST IN : John Lewis BANS Trump From Historic Selma, Alabama
During NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Lewis told host Chuck Todd that he would not invite Trump to visit historically rich Selma, Alabama.
Many other presidents have visited, including Obama and Clinton, but apparently, Trump is not going to get a personal invitation from Lewis to visit.
From The Hill:
Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he would not invite President-elect Donald Trump to Selma, Ala., the site of historical civil rights marches, though he would not stop Trump from visiting the city.
“Well, by going to Selma — like President Bush, President Clinton, President Obama — maybe he would learn something. Maybe he would get religion,” Lewis said during the interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I would not invite him to come,” Lewis added when asked by host Chuck Todd about bringing Trump to Selma.

When is this Lewis clown up for re-election?
Hopefully 2018!
Donald Trump should ban John Lewis from Washington DC in return. Drain the Swamp.
AGREED!!!! I hope he fires him
Can’t fire elected officials Christine! However you can vote out at next election! DraintheSwamp!!!
Exactly talk about a big phony John Lewis is. And funny how he has got rich too.
It was the Democrats that beat him so bad when he crossed the bridge. And now he is one.
He Is One Of The Clogs Blocking The drain
I agree!!!
Agreed!!
He has not been opposed in the last 4 elections…. he is what term limits are made for… an entrenched dummy.
Mr. Lewis Is… Unfortunately… GA’s… “Entrenched Dummy”! His Lack… Only Accentuates…The Great Need… For The Likes Of Martin Luther King’s Leadership!
When the heck did Selma, Alabama move to Georgia?? Who is he to invite anyone to Alabama?? He needs help!!
The only thing in Alabama is swamps & gators.. The gators were well fed back in the day…
I wondered the same question.
He keeps it up and it will bite him in some manner
I for one, as a citizen of the great state of Alabama, refuse to invite Lewis to Selma or anywhere else in our state.
I am from and currently live in selma. And none of u guys have any idea what its like here and the history behind my town. For one thing, rep. Lewis runs the annual bridge crossing every year and is a major part of this town. Second off… When the march took place, democrat and republican didn’t matter. All that mattered in there eyes was people’s distorted option of right and wrong. No matter what political party u were in, if u were black u got beat. And if u were part of the racist idiots, u beat black people! And lastly… To the cunt who likes to call people nigger. .. Come to selma Al. And say that shit!! I DARE YOU!
He first called Trump illegitimate, but now that Trump calls him on it he is butt hurt. These democrats make me sick. They can spew garbage all day every day, but when someone holds their feet to the fire all hell breaks loose. Why would Trump want to go to Selma anyway. He’s too busy cleaning up after Oblamo.
This is a pure example of a fake! Going around saying other people needs to get religion after all the things he has said. He is hiding behind religion himself. And people say this guy is an icon? He is not an icon – he is a token!
John Lewis although he is so devoted to his position, he does not represent his title as representative of Ga. He speaks about racism in our nation, but to me, I am looking at the most racist person I have been reading about in a very long time. Moreso, then Muslim Obama. He supposed to be a person of intelligence and common sense, well you couldn’t prove it by me. I think he is overloaded with potassium. His colleagues in Washington, hopefully, will be cleaned up once and for all. They thrive on keeping the people in our nation hostage and behind in many areas of advancement. Jobs, decent medical care, revolvement to freedom of speech, having the right to firearms. Everything that Martin Luther King worked so hard for to unite America, well he would be very disappointed to hear and see how Mr. John Lewis has acted in his reflection. Most of us that can analyze and think with a brain, have common sense can see that Mr. Lewis is a once sided leftist and extremely upset that the Democrats lost to the Republicans fair and square.
After all these past 8 years why didn’t Mr. Lewis see to it that many of the cities had the resources to live decently. He just didn’t care. He was just satisfied to have a seat in the capital and bark, bark, bark and bitch, bitch, bitch that the democrats lost. Where was he when all the shootings and killings, kids that have the lack of food, housing in many cities around the country were suffering. Well, he didn’t care. He only cares that he worked for the many years so he says’ to bring together this nation, but he didn’t. He only cares about John Lewis. Well, it’s not about John Lewis, it’s about the people that say what has to be done, and POTUS Donald Trump won fair and square and worked very hard for the people of our Country. This Nation is going to thrive once again and he and some of his colleagues as Pelosi can’t accept us. She should not be running again. She is like a figure statue that never goes away.
So I feel it’s a disgrace that Mr. Lewis can’t give up and say he is wrong when it comes to his country also to have the respect of the people. He’s finished. He should retire.
Stupid Georgians have been electing this moron every two years for the last 30 years. His ass will likely die in his chair on the hill.
No, stupid Atlantans keep electing this piece of work. Don’t cause the whole state of being that stupid !!
This is not a smart move by the congressman he needs to get over the fact that Clinton lost and move to build with the president and face the fact that Obama did nothing for poor Blacks
This is a bad move by the congressman he needs to get over the fact that Clinton lost and move to build with the president a strong Black agender and be straight up about Obama not doing anything for poor Blacks congressman you came too far to start being fake Obama failed Black america keep it real give president Trump a chance.for the record Obama tricked Black America 2x into voteing for him and he gave us nothing congressman and you said nothing
It was Democrats that beat you on that bridge. The KKK was a Democratic Clan. You joined the wrong party and now run your mouth! Abraham Lincon and MLK “Republicans” stop with the phony racist stuff!
Term Limits!
Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a term limits late 2016. We the People must make noise so it is voted into law and Lewis is sent packing.
Absolutely
What a fool..I’m sure Trump is making arrangements right now to visit Selma..Can you imagine telling the President of the United States they can’t go anywhere they want in the Country? What a ignoramous.A-hole
I dont think trump is crazy enough to come to selma. He want make it out!
He’s going to ban DT from the city and then eventually complain that DT isn’t making an effort to visit. Just wait.
If I was Trump,,,,,,,,,, I’d tell that !BLACK BASTARD!! I’m an American citizen & I’ll go where the !HELL!! I WANT!!! !!JUST TRY TO STOP ME!!!!
So, Lewis didn’t “ban” Trump; he merely didn’t invite him, which does not mean Trump would be “crashing the party” or “trespassing” if he went to Selma. As the article says, Lewis would not “stop” Trump from visiting Selma. (How could he legally do that?)
And why would he want to go anyway??!
PS> Truthfeed really has to rein in the hyperbole. Unfortunately, “ban” makes the story “fake news”. It would be sufficient and accurate to report that Lewis won’t invite DJT to Selma.
Although I disagree with Lewis’s racist actions, I also wish truthfeed gave us an option to block feedback we found inappropriate & unacceptable. I likely would have tweeted this link but I’ll never promote issues that have outrageous uncensored individual feedback attached that shows outright HATRED toward the black community as a whole. Regardless of circumstances SLANDEROUS comments only make sad situations worse.
Do not worry! I am a black American female and I have not seen here any slanderous comments about the BLACK COMMUNITY that I cannot handle…. In fact, no one has talked about black Americans in general…we are talking about one black American man in particular ….John Lewis!
So, I am intelligent enough to understand that these are comments about ONE NEGRO…… in particular ……John Lewis, who I personally think is a disgrace as a HUMAN BEING, not just looking at him as a black man….but as a PERSON who is so low and ignorant that it is embarrassing ….. that he is actually an ELECTED OFFICIAL, multiple times over the last 40 years! So, black and white Americans who support this Negro get what they deserve!
By the way, let’s be even more honest …….John Lewis, himself is a BLACK RACIST….and plays the race card against whites and blacks (trying to shame other blacks into kowtowing to his BS) — so as far as I am concerned if some blacks read this and get offended….they need to GROW UP…and look at the issues and what the this man has done and what he stands for — because he has PLAYED BEING BLACK INTO A LIFETIME OF PRIVILEGE JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK! This is reverse racism…..Furthermore, if he were WHITE would anyone give a rat’s ass about what he is saying and thinking — As a matter of fact….ALL of the spiteful Dems and anti-Trump folks (black, white, brown, etc.) are pissing and moaning ….but John Lewis gets more MSM attention BECAUSE HE IS BLACK…..so he must take the consequences of opening his big mouth and being offensive towards PE Trump. If this had been PE Trump or a Trump supporter speaking this way against Obama — all hell would have broken lose! Just saying….
Thank you, Shirley. We need more and more Black people to take this stand. I was so hoping that by now we would have achieved MLK’s dream. I’ve certainly tried, with my own three kids, but we are now into their next generation and conditions have worsened, especially under Obama. Stay strong and pray with me that our PE will be implement the plans that he has to help the inner city communities. I’m encouraged by the efforts of Jim Brown, Ray Lewis, and possibly Steve Harvey to join Dr Ben Carson in this. We will all need LOUD mouths to defeat the liberals/democrats who want to keep the status quo.
People creating hostile work environment are not safe to be in Congress and need removed off of Capitol Hill. They work for us, the electorate and work place hostile environments are off limits under federal law. He is a nutcase IMO.
Tall about racist like all over white on chicken.
Yep I really would call that racism there as white folks White lives matter
Lewis has become a clown and what he purports to hate, an pretentious authoritarian racist fraud, he like so many other so called civil rights leaders is simply a race hustler. I think he may see Black people waking up from their Dem hypnotic stupor to become thinking individuals in a forward thinking community. When that happens is sufficient numbers to create a critical mass, Lewis and his like are toast.
As Bob Marley said, “Emancipate your mind from mental slavery”
Bans Trump, who the hell is this guy? He should be locked up, again, for threatening the President.
Erroneously reporting that Lewis has imposed a “ban” on Trump is not only false, but also unwisely inflammatory–as a number of the agitated comments posted here illustrate, solely because of the misrepresentation and distortion of the actual facts.
Lewis merely said he would not invite DJT, which although unfriendly and tactless, does not amount to a “ban” (which would virtually certainly be unlawful).
Encouraging discrimination?
Whatever! This Lewis’ president was the worst in American history. Trump is president of this entire country and he can go anywhere he pleases, dude! But he needs to bypass you, Lewis!
Hey Mr. Lewis, why can’t you have a good attitude about president Trump like “Diamond and Silk”? Your dem friends Pelosi, etc, etc don’t care about African Americans getting ahead with good jobs. They aren’t out for anyone except to get re-elected. You need to listen to “Diamond and Silk” They make a lot of sense.
When a Congressman acts like this against a President he is not upholding the Constitution. And coming from a Civil Rights ‘hero” as I’ve heard him referred to ? Wants to Unite People, do what’s right for people? Talk about Trump getting religion? That’s almost funny. Guess he won’t be getting many bills through Congress, will he? Time to step down Lewis. Oh and BTW take Pelosi and McCain with you.
Come Monday all them so call Historical Civil Rights Marches will be celebrating MLK I HAVE A DREAM but they just keep KILL THAT DREAM
This is what John Lewis is upset about: Trump had the stones to point out his hypocrisy.
Whole thing, just stupid.
The article’s headline is a LIE. Lewis (D-GA) can do nothing to stop Trump from going anywhere.
STRIKE OUT AGAINST FAKE NEWS AND LYING HEADLINES.
Isn’t Rep Lewis the idiot who thought the island of Gaum would capsize or flip over if we deployed too
many of our military men and women on the island?
No, that was Congressman Hank Johnson (GA) who said that.. He really BELIEVES it to be true! Yikes! This is what we have in Congress running our country, go figure…
Lewis is an old old bitter nare do well jealous has been that is out of contact with reality like Pelosi and dingy Harry reed, yuk! Just watch him talk and it’s evident.
Why do the Blacks still think they are entitle to everything and keep putting a wedge between color. They want to be treated equally and than complain when they are given what they want. Who cares if he marched in the civil rights, big deal. Try living before the 80’s in South Africa and face persecution every step of the way. I ran from South Africa to come to the land of the free and brave and have these idiots say they are are Africans, nuts they were born in USA and are American and need to be proud of it. They keep saying they are Africans BS, I am more African than all these people and Indian by culture. I found that their logic never made sense, they don’t have any common sense and always asking for hand me some!!!!!
Congressman Lewis’s deeply offensive statement that,”he would not invite President Trump to “historical” Selma, Alabama ” is the complete antithesis of what Dr. King stood and died for. Martin Luther King had a DREAM that we would ALL be UNITED! I pray that the newly elected Mayor of Selma Alabama,Darrio Melton, will set a precedent and reject such “race-baiting” divisive dialogue. America is at a precipice of destroying itself from within if we continue with present status quo.
It’s also a stupid statement since Lewis is a lawmaker from Georgia not Alabama, where Selma is located.
It:s assholes like this that cause race wars.!!!!!!
Truth.
John Lewis should be drained from the swamp! And who is he to ban Trump from Selma? Please, you low-life! Lewis’s next gig maybe BLM not MLK. LEWIS is so full of himself, Senator Ted Cruz has a resolution, loud mouth, term limits! And how about cutting the pensions to these jerks they’ve already made enough money off of American taxpayers, including John Lewis–oh by the way Mr Lewis, Dr Martin Luther King WAS A REPUBLICAN– he wasn’t with the party of the KKK and Jim Crow, which is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, like yourself, Obama, And Clinton.
FYI
I hope Trump shows up and puts this Nigger in his place yes i said Nigger its not about skin color anyone can be a Nigger even white people i know a few of them..Get the fuck out of here you think you could tell the president of the United States where he can and can’t go,Don’t think so..Banned his sorry ass from Washington DC.
***** IMPEACH TRUMP *****
You’ll hear this for the next four years.
But:
A majority of the members of the House must vote for these charges in order to impeach the president. After the charges of misconduct are filed, the Senate has the power to try impeachment cases like a court. Two-thirds of the senators must vote for conviction. – Google
Bans lol Hey you racist thug in a bought paid for controlled seat !!!! Patriotic legal law abidding Constitutional backers and supporters SAY ” F ” you
AWH…I’m sure President Trump is all broke up about being banned from Selma……..
No one can stop the President of the United States from visiting anywhere in the United States. Lewis is living in the past.
He thinks he rules over two states? He insulted America and our President for $$$$$$$. He personally profited by am outrageous oncrease in book sales within days. And emails his donors for money
He provoked he hates America.
