Black Panther attack - John Lewis is a hypocrite, a liar, and an illegitimate Congressman

Former Black Panther attacks John Lewis, calling out his record.

Mason Weaver, a former Black Panther had some harsh words for Rep. John Lewis (D-GA). Weaver accused Lewis of enriching himself while presiding over the "destruction of black America."

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- John Lewis is a former civil rights activist who participated on the front lines of the civil rights movement in the 1950 and 60s. He met with Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and was one of the Big Six civil rights leaders who organized peaceful student activism.

With such a pedigree, his credentials ought to be beyond question, but on a recent episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Mason Weaver, a former Black Panther called out Lewis for hypocrisy, saying the Georgia politician has gained money and power while his constituents have suffered.

Lewis has also pledged to boycott the inauguration of Donald Trump, a "sour grapes" move that contributes to the leftist effort to undermine democracy and the peaceful transition of power.

Weaver, appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight, explained why he thought Lewis was a traitor to all blacks.

Referring to an incident when Lewis was physically beaten, Weaver said "After they beat his behind on that bridge... he got up and joined them. He joined the oppressors and became a stooge for them."

Lewis joined the Democrats at a time when some in their party still oppressed blacks and were associated with the Klu Klux Klan. But the most important question is, what happened to Lewis's constituents? Following his election in 1977, have things improved for his constituents?

Weaver explained, "You have led them through decades of hell... Mr. Lewis, you have presided over the destruction of black America, and you owe us an apology."

"He has gotten rich, people have gotten poor. The Black Caucus has got more power and influence, and the black people they preside over has gotten poor. More drugs, more gangs, less business, less home ownership, less education, more jail, more drugs. Now if you did that in your job you'd be fired.  If you did that anyplace else, you'd be fired."

"The worse black people are, the poorer we are, the stronger the Democratic Caucus is. The more powerful Democrats are, the worse black people are."

"Everyplace you find black people and Democrats, you find poverty."

The words from Weaver were just the beginning. Lewis has also dubbed Trump an "illegitimate president," and Weaver retaliated, calling him an "illegitimate congressman."

When Lewis announced, he would not attend Trump's inauguration, Lewis claimed it was the first inauguration he would be missing.  This is a lie. Lewis also boycotted President Bush's inauguration in 2001.

So why does Lewis get to decide who is a legitimate president?

During one of the debates, Trump hesitated to reply that he would accept the results of the election. His hesitation was since he was running against a candidate who has just won a rigged primary. While he said he would accept the results, the media still went wild over his hesitation. Trump was accused of attempting to sabotage Clinton's pending presidency.

Now, we see the opposite condition but without remorse. Democrats are working to undermine Trump's presidency, though boycotts, protests and pledges to generally be awful to the new president.

It is becoming apparent that's several of the Democrats are liars and scoundrels who seek to overturn a legitimate vote of the people. John Lewis and his ilk are not heroes; they're the worst sort of villains and traitors. It's time to demand people like Lewis step down from their post.
