John Lewis

John Lewis
Our struggle is a struggle to redeem the soul of America. It's not a struggle that lasts for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or a few years. It is the struggle of a lifetime, more than one lifetime.
John Lewis

John Lewis
Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse.
John Lewis
I think [Donald Trump] is going to be inaugurated this week. I have great concerns, and apparently Republicans do as well, and there's going to be an investigation about the role that Russian hacking played in getting him elected.
John Lewis
I think [James Comey] should take a hard look at what he has done. And I think it would not be a bad thing for the American people if he did step down.
John Lewis
President-elect [Donald] Trump won 30 of 50 states, more counties since Ronald Reagan.
