'...he didn’t come to my inauguration. He didn’t come to my State of the Union speeches, and that’s okay. That’s his right. And, again, nobody has done more for Black Americans than I have. He should’ve come. I think he made a big mistake.”
After a week of tributes and mourning for Rep. John Lewis , President Donald Trump declined to offer any praise for the late civil rights icon and instead bemoaned the fact that he “didn’t come to my inauguration.”
“I don’t know,” Trump said. “I don’t know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my inauguration. I never met John Lewis, actually, I don’t believe.” Trump did not. Nor did he attend Lewis’ Atlanta memorial service Thursday, where former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton spoke in honor of the man whose nonviolent activism helped galvanize support for the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.President Trump to #AxiosOnHBO:"I don't know...I don't know John Lewis.
