wsfa12news Why, Are they still dragging around John McCain or did they finally bury him, you don’t need 20 funerals

A man of The Honerable John Lewis's character should be celebrated on a level of sainthood that this society cannot comprehend

How you dems helping Portland?

Is it so difficult, even on Twitter, to be civil in responding to the decision for Rep Lewis to lie in state?

A rightful honor for a Gentle Man who lived his life seeking Civil Rights for all People.

At least they agreed on one thing this week

KennethHowardC3 He needs 10 funerals and a gold coffin at a minimum - the bar has been set.

As it should be. Rest In Power.

Pandering. Ever after death

If anyone should, it's him.

Good ,respectful way to remember this man who fought hard against racist Democrat policies. Not sure why he became one, but whatevs...

you can gather for this but shut down your small biz, don’t go to church, and for gods sake stay away from ppl you love.

Thank you President Pelosi! SpeakerPelosi Respect
