Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece forsvarer Donald Trump i sagen om John Lewis

Det er ikke mange minutter siden jeg hørte DanMarx Radios kvindelige korrespondent i USA vende den sag på hovedet imod Trump i P1 Orientering.

I den samme udsendelse reklamerede DDR åbent for en anti-Trump demonstration i København på lørdag.

On January 13, 2017, during an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd for Meet the Press, Lewis stated: “I don’t see the president-elect as a legitimate president.”[57] He added, “I think the Russians participated in having this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. I don’t plan to attend the Inauguration. I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians, and others, that helped him get elected. That’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open, democratic process.”[58] Trump replied on Twitter the following day, suggesting that Lewis should “spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to……mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results,” and accusing Lewis of being “All talk, talk, talk — no action or results. Sad!”[59] Trump was criticized for his Twitter comments attacking a civil rights leader such as John Lewis, especially one who was brutally beaten for the cause, and especially on Martin Luther King weekend.
