It's sad that Trump is again in a Twitter war but I can't help but wonder why the usual suspects are acting like Lewis simply cannot be criticized for anything.
As far as I can tell, Lewis has been a bitter partisan since at least 2008 if not before. The guy did in fact lie about this being the first inauguration that he'll skip. He didn't attend in 2000 since he was busy saying Bush wasn't legit either.
And in 2008 he all but accused McCain of being a raging racist, which McCain vowed to never forgive him for.
I get that he was a Civil Rights hero, but does that mean no one can call him out today for being a raging partisan asshole and Democratic Party attack dog?
