Remember when we were instructed John Lewis had lost his juice

1. A National Treasure!

[brer cat]

2. I remember!

Still full of vigor, still fighting the good fight, still winning!

[Starry Messenger]

3. That was spectacular.

I haven't felt this invigorated in ages.

[Hekate]

5. And/or it was just a political stunt

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. LOL ... No, Lewis' leadership of the sit-in was a political stunt ...

Bernie's dropping by was an act of courage, heroism and true heroism!

[rbrnmw]

11. love ya for saying what should be said

[Number23]

13. The 7 minutes he was there to wave at the crowd was a profile in heroism and leadership

[pnwmom]

6. Right. John Lewis needed to be taught how to have a spine.

[1StrongBlackMan]

8. Yeah ... I saw that exact statement.

[pnwmom]

10. Repeatedly.

[EffieBlack]

18. Did someone actually say that?!

[Hekate]

7. John Lewis is my hero. He made me proud again to be a Democrat.

[rbrnmw]

12. John Lewis don't need someone to give him a spine

his has worked just fine for over 50 years

[bravenak]

14. I heard he was a sell out too. Guess I heard lies.

[mcar]

15. So happy he came out from under the bus!

[ismnotwasm]

16. Yup

I remember. It a was pathetic and ugly thing to try.

[EffieBlack]

17. How can anyone forget

It's very memorable to be lectured by white folks about how John Lewis was a sellout who lost all of his credibility and was no longer relevant because he wasn't sufficiently grateful to Bernie Sanders for getting arrested once 50 years ago.

19. That was certainly one of this election's ugliest moments.

As a Bernie supporter, was I disappointed when Mr. Lewis endorsed Hillary? Hell yeah! But only because nothing could have been greater than to have a man of John Lewis's stature, integrity, and moral credibility on the Bernie team. The man is fearless and possesses a moral compass that is beyond reproach, and the suggestion that he endorsed Sec. Clinton for any other reason than that he sincerely believes her to be the best person for the job is laughable.

For the first time in forever, I have hope that we are going to see at least some progress on the gun issue--even with the Republicans in charge of the House and the Senate. As long as John Lewis is leading the charge, we are going to see movement. No doubt whatsoever.
