Remembering John Lewis

“John Lewis was what America aspires to be. Donald Trump is what America is slowly becoming. John Lewis marched forward every day of his life toward equality for everyone, regardless of color, faith, gender, belief, ideology, anything. John Lewis marched forward. Donald Trump doesn’t like John Lewis’s America. Donald Trump is uncomfortable in John Lewis’s America. Donald Trump fights everything that John Lewis stood for….John Lewis believed in moving forward, in going onward with faith in this country. Donald Trump has faith only in himself,” says Morning Joe veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this conversation with co-host Mika Brzezinski and The New Yorker’s David Remnick as they remember the life of civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis and all that he stood for.
