Trump takes ignorance to a new level:
If if were anyone but Trump -- and parrot-in-chief Sanders -- I wouldn't believe it.
Footnote: Digby caps it nicely:
Democratic U.S. Congressman John Lewis of Georgia is one of this nation's top and most-recognized civil rights leaders. He was the chairman of one of the primary civil rights organizations that organized Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, during which King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Lewis also delivered a speech at that historic event and was the youngest man to do so. He has been beaten, arrested, and jailed in his fight for civil rights.
Rep. Lewis has decided he cannot stand on the same stage as President Donald Trump this Saturday, when Trump will visit the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. . . .
The White House saw fit to denounce them for it.
"We think it’s unfortunate that these members of Congress wouldn’t join the President in honoring the incredible sacrifice civil rights leaders made to right the injustices in our history," Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement to reporters. "The President hopes others will join him in recognizing that the movement was about removing barriers and unifying Americans of all backgrounds."
If if were anyone but Trump -- and parrot-in-chief Sanders -- I wouldn't believe it.
Footnote: Digby caps it nicely:
That's Sarah Huckabee Sanders explaining that the civil rights movement wasn't really about black people.
