NRA Calls Civil Rights Leader John Lewis A Terrorist
http://samuel-warde.com/2016/06/nra-calls-civil-rights-leader-john-lewis-terrorist/The National Rifle Association’s radio show compared participants in a sit-in on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to “criminals and terrorists” saying that, like terrorists, the sit-in participants were not following the rules.
During the Wednesday broadcast of the NRA’s radio show, Cam & Company, as the sit-in was going on, host Cam Edwards said, “So in order to push legislation that the sponsors say would not have prevented the attacks in Orlando, Florida, they’re also going to flout the House rules. Kind of like, you know, criminals and terrorists flout the rules that we have in place right now and will continue to do so?”
CNN.com described the move as “a dramatic protest inside the House of Representatives” that was “rich with historic symbolism.” Lewis, who as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960’s organized numerous sit-ins to protest racial discrimination in his time, has been described as “one of the most courageous persons the Civil Rights Movement ever produced.”
John Lewis (D-Ga.), staged a sit in on the House floor to show solidarity for action on gun control legislation.
