34 years as Congressman for Georgia's Fifth District - his District contains the 14th most violent city in the country and one in six residents live in poverty.

Obama looks like a God compared to Trump and his performance in office.
Cos I hurt your feelings?You're awful.
Get used to calling him Uncle Joe #46.
I bet you think about Obama and performance a lot.
Haven't shed a tear. Hillary was gifted everything from birth and underachieved despite all the ropes tied to her pulling her up. An 80 year old black congressman has overcome some serious in his life. Trying to paint that as a partisan comment is disingenuous at best.You gonna cry like this in ten years when Hillary dies? Maybe you should just do your hero worship now.
JL was a virtue signaler. He rode that to a comfortable life. That's all.
Virtue signaling must have worked really well in the 60's for a black man.
Well enough. It sprung him to a cushy job for the rest of his life.
Plenty on both sides of the isle have cushy jobs. Doesn't detract from what I said about his life. Imagine being black in 1940 and thinking "I'm going to virtue signal my way up and make these white people feel guilty". Good luck.
ah, the good old days
Okay, but he was in the 60's doing this, not 1940. There was writing on the wall.
And yea, we do have sponges on both sides.
Do you seriously have a problem with rioters being arrested, blakehole?
John Lewis wasn't a rioter. John Lewis was a civil rights organizer. The LEOs who beat and arrested him were violating people's rights.
The usual procedure is for the police to start a riot (they'll call it "clearing a street" or dispersing an illegal assembly") and call anyone in front of them rioters, usually after initiating physical contact themselves.
Fair enough. I don't have proof that he is; and he has spoken out against rioting.
Forty arrests seems high even for those "racist" police. I figure some rowdiness was part of it; but who knows.
The civil rights movement wasn't a cake walk. He was the son of a sharecropper in Alabama. That's hardly 3rd base.
Which is why he didn't die with much more. But the road was paved.
While there's some truth to fact that there was internal reckoning since the SCOTUS abolished the de able 'separate but equal' doctrine in 1954, the Civil Rights Act was definitely not a cake walk. There were over 30 murders of colored people, mostly in Alabama and Mississippi, for the simple fact that they registered or helped with the Civil Rights movement.
The Act itself was thoroughly resisted and legal challenges to it kept going well into the 70s.
Rubio with wicked self-own
Just reflects how everyone else saw the clones.
Absolute hero, and a pretty reliable answer to "How would Martin Luther King have reacted to the BLM movement of he were still alive?" His fight against voter suppression during the civil rights movement is a fight today that needs a leader like him.
Lip service?
I can buy that.
