Rubio confuses Black rights icons Cummings, Lewis, in tweet

with a new post in which he acknowledged the error and displayed a video of himself with Lewis, a Democratic lawmaker who died Friday at the age of 80.

"Earlier today I tweeted an incorrect photo," Rubio wrote in the updated post. "John Lewis was a genuine American hero. I was honoured to appear together in Miami 3 years ago at an event captured in video below. May God grant him eternal rest." Lewis, a Democrat from Atlanta, was the last survivor of the Big Six civil rights activists, led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He was best known for leading 600 protesters in the 1965 Bloody Sunday march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Lewis was knocked to the ground and beaten by state troopers. Televised images forced the country's attention on racial oppression.

You know I can understand why Canadian MSM dunks on Trump and forget about Trudeau's latest billion dollar scandal that shuffled taxpayer money to his family and his buddy going bankrupt, but Marco Rubio, seriously GMAFB.

This is news in Canada when we have the MOST CORRUPT GOVERNMENT in the 153 year history of the country With Trudeau being the only SITTING PM with an ETHICS CONVICTION....Canada has NEVER seen such corruption from the PMO and media covers this?

Meanwhile , where is Blackface today ?

SO is that the end of the world snowflakes..

Joe Biden still doesn't know what day it is or what planet he's on. That should concern you a little more, since he is your savior of the Republic. LOL

Dear Canadians, It’s another slow news day in Canada & our staff are off today. So we, have chosen & purchased this AP tweet specifically for you & our Canadian audience. Please enjoy these “cut & paste” USA tweets while we at CTV Canada are away on holidays.

All good ....2 race-baiting leftie nutjobs....

Notice how CTV reported this but they didn’t report when Nancy Pelosi forgot George Floyd’s name on national TV? If there is any reason to attack a conservative, CTV hate news will find it

He was 80. BLM must be happy Who? Sad news. Regarding the picture choice. I’ve never been a fan of anyone lauding themselves with plaques and awards set out for everyone to see. Rather prideful.
