An American flag flies at half-staff over the White House in Washington, Saturday, July 18, 2020, in remembrance of Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. Lewis, who carried the struggle against racial discrimination from Southern battlegrounds of the 1960s to the halls of Congress, died Friday.
Shortly after 2 p.m., as Trump was returning from his golf outing — and more than 14 hours after Lewis’ death was announced — he offered his and the first lady’s condolences in a two-sentence Twitter message.“Saddened to hear the news of civil rights hero John Lewis passing. Melania and I send our prayers to he and his family,” Trump wrote.
Lewis, D-Ga., memorably tangled with Trump days before the president’s inauguration in 2017. The congressman said he did not see Trump as a “legitimate president,” prompting Trump to blast Lewis as “all talk” and denigrate his majority Black district as “crime infested” and “falling apart.” Then, as this year’s election battle heated up in the spring, Lewis threw his weight behind Biden and urged young Black voters to help make sure the former vice president wins in November.
At that point, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany had noted that Lewis “was an icon of the civil rights movement,” and Pence had issued a statement praising Lewis for his place in American history and noting that as colleagues in the House that “even when we differed, John was always unfailingly kind.”Bass wrote: “@realDonaldTrump while the nation mourns the passing of a national hero, please say nothing. Please don’t comment on the life of Congressman Lewis.
Trump seemed unable to forget one of McCain’s Senate votes in particular, the thumbs-down that sank the Republican effort in 2017 to repeal the Obama health care law. Trump was furious, and it showed even after McCain’s death. The administration lowered the American flag over the White House to half-staff, but then raised it again two days later. The flags were lowered again after a public outcry.
If he had responded immediately, you would have criticized him for that...
Why not start more trouble
Journalism or propaganda?
Come on now. This is not a story, just filler.
You really took notice of the time. You really want him to look bad huh?
HE’S A JERK
Hiw small brain crashed when repjohnlewis passed, dishonorable men such as the trumpTrainWreck have nothing to say when honorable people pass, didn't say much when SenJohnMcCain passed either. One instance where he is at a loss for any words.
Ummm maybe he was doing President things Geeze hate your president much?
Flag above the WH was at half-mast for less than 8 ours.
How many pearls were on the necklace you grabbed?
You wouldn’t be happy if he said something 1 minuet after he died.
You people are ridiculous.
Do you need a kleenex?
No news story here.
So what, your reporting sucks on Trump. 🖕🏼
Still waiting for any DNC to acknowledge the 20 black children killed in Chicago the past month. Tiktik tiktok
White Supremacy alive and well in the White House. Vote realDonaldTrump and senatemajldr SenateGOP OUT in November. Newsweek NPR NewsHour kcrw USATODAY RollingStone keyara_nickole
The flag has been raised to full mast; after 1 day! Pretty telling but not surprising.
* the media is obsessed with anything to trash the President
So...
So what?
45 doesn’t know who he is, never met him, never heard of him. He has beans to sell.
NOT FAIR HE WAS ONLY ON TWITTER TWEETING AND RETWEETING 35 TIMES WHEN IT HAPPENED AT 11:30 PM MT
You people are a joke. No one takes your “news” seriously when you post garbage like this.
Wait. . .aren't you the dipsh*ts who said that redirecting funds away from the police is NOT the same as defunding the police?
And?
Tosser
Someone told him he had to!!
Let's see, a Democrat Congresswoman tells Trump to say nothing; then the media later blames him for not saying something quickly enough.
Very dumb toeven write this AP.
He's a shitty human and a racist. Why is anyone surprised by this?
What was the hurry?..... Lewis wasn't going anywhere.
I am going to wait another month.
So what? Barren news week at AP?
President Trump treated Congressman John Lewis with far more respect than Lewis ever treated him.
'to HE and his family'? This guy doesn't have the vocabulary of a third grader and that's INSULTING to third graders everywhere.
Are you freakin’ kidding me?
Who the fuck cares?
He was too busy playing golf.
AP is a joke.
Let’s face it. tRump is the biggest asshole there is. I’m certain he did not know who Mr Lewis was.
Do you expect a statement within five minutes It’s NEVER good enough AP. Keep trying.
The horror
FakeNews
In his defense, he needed time to grieve...on the golf course.
So now it's the timing of his tweets that's bad too?
Is there a time limit for conveying condolences now?
Seriously why is this even brought up smh
Who cares, he is gone, one less black guy. Good black guys die in cities all over the USA every day. The media today is so stupid. White people are stupid. You can’t fix stupid.
OMG how many seconds passed? He ordered the flags flown at half mast. Why must you always find some bull?
We are counting the hours as to how long it takes him to tweet now.. WOW are we desperate for news!!
Let's all focus on measuring AOC response time to next media 'thing'
What an ass...
Inflammatory much?
You are guys are friggin total idiots
The media is disgusting, this headline is ridiculous . It wouldn’t matter what trust did or said you scums with put a negative spin on it
He’s a busy man, fending off fake news media types ! R.I.P.
Three years and six months since JohnLewis refused to attend Trump's inauguration like a petulant child. Cry me a river.
Blastgurl69 Of corse someone had to remind tRump that it would look bad if he remained silent, so 14 hours later...
Why make a big deal out of 14 hours?
Don't try to hide it anymore. CNN doesn't.
It is no surprise, he is 50yrs behind the time!
😂😂😂😂😂
Omg! Really? You’re going to be this petty about a few hours?! Unbelievable.
The black caucus told him not to respond
There are masked goons attacking Portlanders as trump’s gestapo, but this is headline worthy? The nation does not take any comfort when the fascist makes near-presidential noises. His comments on a real American icon are less than irrelevant, they are unwelcome.
realDonaldTrump He had to relish in the FACT🤔(normal🤡 clowning) This guy CANNOT DEMONSTRATE GENUINE HONORARY RESPECT ON NO PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL!!! CIVIL RIGHTS ISN'T HIS STRONG SUIT👌🏾 RacistTrump
'News'
You counted just so you could blast him on that? But you’re not political at all. Somebody needs to cut the wire.
He was playing golf.
14 hours passed until someone, other then trump who has access to the account, realized nothing was said.
STOP JUST STOP ... you people are PATHETIC... THE MEDIA IS THE VIRUS
LOL! Look what you've become. Sad.
Give the guy a break, he was golfing he didn’t have time 🤫
He just sucks. He and his family went out to buy beans.
so what
It took 14 hour to explain to Trump why Congressman Lewis was a Great Man that will never be surpassed by the likes of Trump...
I certainly won't expect him to be sad about him. John Lewis wouldn't be happy about man who has stood against everything he stands for. Rest in Power.
In the words of Marshawn Lynch...'That motherfucker say a lot of shit.'
quit making his childish bs news. Focus on the pandemic...
He couldn’t reply earlier as he was in 14 hours quarantene.
Why is this news?
Give him a break. He was busy golfing.
So what?
Typical
This is an impeachable offense... 😂😂😂
Divide America is your policy. So you counted hours? He acknowledged and even issued a statement and let flags fly half. Why are you journalists so anti-realDonaldTrump so much that you hate to turn everything in negativity. yOU STUDIED JOURNALISM TO WRITE SUCH NONSENSE?
Last time I checked realDonaldTrump is our president no disrespect intended but he has more important matters to Handle than saying sorry for you lost
-we know ur deepstate and/or RUN by deepstate. Enjoy ur time bashing Trump, because u know most likely ur days of LYiNG and pushing propaganda will be OVER soon enough!!
Who cares? He doesnt care about Lewis or what he accomplished. No surprise there. He only cares about himself
I’m sure he has better things to do than acknowledge some degenerate troublemaking jogger, respect the flag
Retweeting grievances and conspiracy theories from his sycophants is how he expresses his grief.
Maybe he was looking for the right words to say!!....🤷🏻♂️
altNOAA he wanted to wait until he read about it in the Monday Morning Daily Brief. This is the POTUS, golf is as important as his perceived poll numbers ... EVERYTHING else takes a back seat.... unless it's GOYA .. but again ..that was about his polling
😂🤣😂🤣😂 man. Y’all get worse every day
Lewis was actively pro abortion. The blood of 60 million children is on his hands. I wouldn’t have said anything for 14 years.
realDonaldTrump
I think there's an app for that. However, the AutoNegroCondolence setting isn't enabled by default.
is that surprising? Civil write mean nothing to him.
Everyone is a professional commentator! Keep up the good work.
Wow. Another clear example that the Donald is a member of the KKK. But seriously Ap don't you guys nothing serious to do? Like..reporting on real news? There must be a war somewhere. Or a global tread like a pandemic?
The President is running our country and dealing with a bunch of out of control Democrats burning and looting communities and cities so actually nobody GAF how long it took him.
altNOAA does anyone really care at this point? he is white trash. anything he says is white trash.
So?
Who gives 2 shits if the president is tweeting or not. He’s busy! Just bc it took 14 hours to tweet something doesn’t mean he didn’t acknowledge it in other ways! Such a petty world we’re in these days!
Maybe for once, Trump got a good night's rest.
Give the guy a break he was busy starching his white sheet Halloween outfit ... those cross burning ceremonies get smoky and destroy your linen ....
You people actually counted the hours. How sick is that
I am wondering , Who gives a shit beside the Progressive Marxist?
14 hours passed between the AP pretending to be real news.
No matter what Trump did, ur media always reports in a negative way. May I ask a question, do you guys really know who John Lewis was and what he has done for civil rights? Main stream media are totally bias.
TO BE EXPECTED OF POTUS/TRUMP WHO IS A !RACIST !BIGOT !WHITE SUPREMACIST PLUS THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WAS A 'HALF-HEARTED' PATHETIC ATTEMPT.
So
You are race baiting... Again... And you wonder why real Americans have no respect for you...
The horror...
I don't know who John Lewis is and I doubt most Americans do either.
He was “inspecting” the bunker again Typical no class asshole move.
Next stupid shit like this and I will take you off my follow. Oh and do you mind reporting how many times he wipes his ass after a dump.....
You can’t say this is not manipulative bias against Trump. You are a disgrace to the ap reporting of the past....
If the FakeNewsMedia truly thought Joe Biden was winning, they wouldn't have to lie or make shit up to cause division. But voters are not as stupid as Liberal Media think. Trump2020Landslide
By all means let's nitpick everything.
Not like he has a country to run or anything.
He did passed his sadness and the flag is ?
You idiots are so biased! 🙄
RicardoAdams Who cares? Swamp rat, joined the party of slavery. Marched, then shit on MLK's memory. Give me a friggin break. Another reason to slander the president. FakeNewsMedia
Trump Rules!!
I will always remember Senator George Lewis.
If the FakeNewsMedia truly thought Joe Biden was winning, they wouldn't have to lie or make shit up to cause division
This isn't news
realDonaldTrump is trash. Utter trash.
Thanks for the objective journalism. Was there a hidden message of bias, or are you all just big clock watchers over there?
AP, such a pathetic rag.
🤦♂️
So?
He is not sad at all. He is still worried about Confederate flags
If you die of old age while in office you’re a bad person
billcenter Of we’re being fair, he posted about it a whole bunch from his Stormfront account all morning.
Every day it seems the AP destroys a little bit more of their credibility with useless crud like this.
So now his response time is inappropriate , he is running a country and dealing with one of the hardest times this country has ever seen
President Trump plays it straight. They didn’t see eye to eye. Why fake it? He went out the obligatory statement. This isn’t news.
And?
Yeah, so what?
So he tweets and people bitch. He doesn’t tweet in their “approved” timeframe and they bitch.
So therefore.....what?
So? Who gives a shit.
Liberalism is a mental disorder
GEE I WONDER WHY
Your Garbage
You hack Ass Paper
Yeah, it’s called he’s busy...yeah traitors
He had to take time to grieve. Sheesh. He does have a country to run and a manmade pandemic with which to deal. What is your lame point anyway?
Oh for fuck sakes...did you set a timer? Were you there when the poor guy died and then run and stare at the President until he responded? Give me a break, this is a non article!
Separately, MLK has been rolling in his grave as African Americans become modern slaves of the Dem party.
Zero acknowledgement by the MSM.
So? Twitter is not an official place for US president. He could even never say anything on twitter.
And we’re surprised because.......🤔
Just stop AP. Stop.
Benghazi
Nobody should be acknowledging his death. He was a hateful race baiter.
Keep grasping.
Was that from exact time of death? Or did you round up? also, is there an algorithm to flesh out how racist Trump is per hour delay? Has to be....
I can with much of what Lewis did the pass. But did sucume to the dollar via BLM organization. BLM Zself proclaimed Marxist organization and has done zero for the black community, all $ collected by ActBlue, gives it to democrat campaigns
Big deal. Maybe he stopped to have two scoops of ice cream first.
And
Obama slept through Benghazi and invaded 7 countries
BFD. John Lewis treated Pres Trump with disdain from the beginning.
How is this news?
So
And?
You’re turning into CNN
So fucking what maybe he was sleeping
If it was 30 seconds, you still would've criticized him.
Omg you idiots give it a rest for crying out loud
Who cares?
Same amount of hrs Hillary let our Benghazi brothers die.
It's not like he has anything else going on... like run the country, deal with domestic terrorism with active blocking by Democrats, govern in the face of COVID-19 (when there is no good answer), and suffer press articles like this.
I think it was 13 hours and 59 minutes.
This is news Must be a slow news day.
My Sunday school teacher would always say, “actions speak louder than words.” - Truth
Literally who
VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Our race-baiting media, ladies & gents! Maybe some whites will get killed over this at the hands of blacks and then AP will have something to celebrate! 🤡
Maybe he was working to get this country back online. You should try it sometime. If he replied immediately you would say that he needs to get to work and get off Twitter and Fox News.
This is peak TrumpDerangementSyndrome
Because he's a douche
Icon? Because who anointed him that? He was a race baiting ignorant operative.
Stellar reporting, AP. Makes you wish we had something serious for y’all to report on...oh, wait....
And if he tweeted instantly he’d be chastised and called a racist. It’s a no win scenario so he did it correctly. Sorry, your game is stupid. Especially that you think we’re all stupid especially that you think we’re all stupid.
What does it matter? Is this really news is it just that slow of a news day? JournalismIsDead
But back to this. He said his condolences. That should be good enough.
Man the world we live in where we are now upset about the number of hours before a tweet.
He’s such a disgrace. I believe he waited even longer to acknowledge John McCain.
ForWeThePeople1 Looks like his golfing got in the way. What a clown and a disrespectful one at that. Stop nightmare please
He’s absolutely a total disaster. He hasn’t been a leader of this country for 1 second. He’s only ever spoken directly to his base and screwed the rest of Americans. His base is stupid, he only wants their votes and couldn’t care less about them. He’d never eat a meal with them
14 hours? That's almost 15 hours!!
How many hours passed from the time Trump was threatened by DOMESTIC TERRORRISTS and they were arrested ? It's not hours ! It happens every day but you REFUSE to BROADCAST it ! Why not ?
Trust me had it been Schumer, Nancy or Schiff he would have tweeted while in their deathbeds!
sick!
Only a political hack would measure how long it takes someone to acknowledge another's death.
I’m sure realDonaldTrump was at the country club or a race rally.
What a disgrace of a human being.
Because he only cares about numbers and John Lewis and black lives in this DO NOT matter to him.
So what’s worse? Obama going to a campaign event and checking out while half way around the world 4 Americans were being assasinated by Benghazi terrorists? OR While playing golf you hear of a good man’s passing and send your condolences?
Journalism 401.
What else is new?!
How pathetic and petty the media has become. Another example of the bias and abuse of freedom of speech and a free press. It has become nothing but trashy tabloid news.
Yeah, I think much like everyone else in this thread, you’ve earned an unfollow for this. This isn’t news anymore. Just proganda. Let me know when you return to reporting relevant facts.
Cry more.
Why do we care about Trump saying anything? Everything he says is a lie anyway!!!
Really? This is news you choose to report?
Sad spin.... like nothing else is going on.. you are sad!
How many mins and seconds? 🙄
It took 14 long hours? That's time it takes for nonstop flight from New York to Tokyo. Is this normal?
When trump dies, his obituary will be very simple, he was a self absorbed little petty of a man, who only thought of himself, having zero compassion for the majority, listened only to the GOD he saw in the mirror. Hell Is waiting!!!
Oh my, you mean it wasn't the President's top priority?
So what is your point? John Lewis voted to remove our President with all of Congress knowing by that point that the Russia crap was a big hoax and a coup attempt! realDonaldTrump did acknowledge Lewis with dignity and ordered the Flag lowered half staff. Lewis wasn't respectful
But who’s counting
N
Give the guy a break! It was important that he woof down his Breakfast Burger before he played his 263rd round of Golf 🏌🏼 🤣😂. WorstPresidentEver
name the congressman’s legislative accomplishments go!!
The white house issued a statement this morning .. twitter characters are now the official method of communication that we measure politicians on?
He's a monster. ResignNow realDonaldTrump
Does anyone give a fuk?
The absolutely sucks.
So?
And 12 hrs since Democratic GovWhitmer tweeted the same condolences. What’s your point with this tweet except to keep the division going Does the time of the tweet really matter that much You are using a respectable mans death for your own BS 👎🏻
Maybe because he’s busy fixing this country the liberals are trying to ruin for us!
Other than losing some money, loss of cult leader status or a bruised ego, I doubt tRump is capable of feeling sadness.
Perhaps the one issue is this was considered more newsworthy than the ongoing depression created by the entire US government and what leaders might be doing to mitigate that.
This is nonsense.. why is this considered news? What's your motive behind this AP news? The timing of when you send someone condolences is not important!The important thing is that POTUS did send his condolences for the passing of John Lewis!
Slow news day?
Who?
And?
Wtf ever
Enemy of the American people
So.
His ass was busy golfing a d retweeting BS, however, sometimes it’s better for him to stay quiet. That clown sent condolences to the deceased. IdiotinChief
What did yall expect. Im surprised he said anything at all
Why is this news! You have got to be kidding me.🤦♂️
Trump puts serious thought into his tweets, so it takes him a little time to carefully compose one.
So the news here is, he didn’t tweet on time? Did anyone notice the stupidity of that headline before it ran?
How will we go on?
This is what passes for journalism these days? No wonder the press has lower approval 's than our feckless congress of crooks.
He can’t possibly like John, because he was not a liar, scammer, and pathetic like him. So no he didn’t write that. Sad for America.
Could it be that POTUS paid his respects by phone? Or another way besides Twitter?
I didn't know there was a time limit.
Bet someone sent it for him.
In the other world where Trump drops everything and tweets out something, the AP reports: President Trump uses death of civil rights icon for campaign purposes...
This isn’t news this is childish propaganda, grow a pair and STICK TO REPORTING NEWS
This is news? Or snooze?
DEFUND AP
Are you serious? You got to be kidding me!! The media is a joke!!!! They put this as news? Maybe he was busy? He is the president last time I checked ...
So what?
Do you have anything better to report?
Dumb as fuck tweet
So?
I thought Lewis was a nice guy but yet he wouldn't accept Trump as his President nor Bush.
This journalism says it all.
Too busy golfing... nothing else to pay attention to in this nation...
Criticizing condolences is a new low, .
Really? You’re counting the minutes? Ridiculous 🙄
So, less than a day. Thanks, !
im pretty tough on the guy but i gotta admit this is a useless take. way bigger fish to fry than his twitter response time.
Just come out and say it. You want to call the President of the United States a fascist, racist, homophobe, transphobic, xenophobia, sexist, evil, orange man. But it’s actually you who are those things, not him. And not Americans.
Probably 14 seconds to support beans.
Another dead jogger who gives a shit.
Seriously, ? journalism
Who gives a shit?
He was ugly crying for 13 of those hours .
Civil rights are unconstitutional
Are you taking notes on this? Honestly....
Glad I follow this account so I can remain “informed” with this “news”
Why is this a headline? Really AP? How about this for an encore? What happened to journalists?
WTF man maybe he was busy you know...with running the damn country?
Who care this guy was a icon. He was a icon as much as george floyd was. lol. His views created more division then actual unity.
Who will be the first to stop mourning?
CNN, is that you?
AP has joined the coup.
He was busy eating some Goya
Mobs should be grateful he tweeted & lower the flag
So now there is a clock that must be satisfied?
It is well known that Lewis and Trump were not friendly at all. Surprised that dt even bothered to offer condolences.
It's not a race...
13Hours for Benghazi ......so his timing aligns with the democratsaredestroyingAmerica VoteRedToSaveAmerica2020
You guys, come on, he had to ask his staff who everyone was talking about first, then said well maybe I should say something, took almost a day and some lacky gave him this to speak, held a Mac n cheese behind him till he said oh okay, here we go! Just a bozo ...lol
realDonaldTrump He probably has been busy working on ending sex trafficking
This headline from AP, I would expect it to come from someone at CNN or MSNBC. I thought a news organization like The Associated Press would not stoop to these levels. Only someone with a strong bias against President Trump would think this is newsworthy.
And that's news only to try and make realDonaldTrump a racist. So sad that MSM works so hard to divide this nation. America sees it and will re-elect POTUS in November by a landslide.
Unfollowing
Because he is “virulently racist.”
This changes everything!
Trump is a joke and everyone knows it. Bunker boy tweets more than anyone in the country. If it would gave been a Fox news poll showing he was trailing Biden he would gave been all ver it in nanoseconds!
But who’s counting?
I really don't care.
sick media using the death of John Lewis to further their bigotry
Who gives a shit?
He can feel no empathy- he’s only sad when things go bad for him.
Stupid people- people do sleep.
So
Bullshit. Trump hates John Lewis, an honorable civil rights activist and icon. Rep. Lewis is everything positive that Trump can never be.
It is news because as the POTUS is should have been incumbent upon Trump to promptly acknowledge this passing, not just use a tweet dump expressing mere 'sadness' 14 hours later.
how many seconds? who cares?
So? I don't care about that.
And only flew the flag at half staff for half a day. Shameful!
Oh shut up Lewis would not even acknowledge Trump as being president everybody knows there was no love lost there!!
One less Black Supremacist racist in the world....
So what? They didn't exactly like each other.
It probably takes 14 hours to have 200 PR people and editors craft a message that is the least easily politicized by the other party.
He showed his respects! Live with it!
STFU apnews
Ummmmm, im sure realDonaldTrump is a little busy dip wad!
I wish nothing but horrible pain for Trump.
Tweet, don't tweet, you assholes would still shit all over it. mediaisthevirus
SO? He voted to impeach him!
Would 15 hours have been more appropriate?
He is such a pathetic person
He didn't have to say it all but since you're timing him which is child's play you get what you get
And?
Yo this is the dumbest thing I've ever read
Lewis was one of the cheer leaders for the hateful political hoax against the president ... you get it? Rep Lewis lost his way, he was a great warrior at one time and lost his way ... his legacy will be include both his heroism and his political hackery.
We are grateful to Donald Trump for confirming what Mary Trump said about him being a racist. She also destroyed the myth that he is a successful businessman who is incapable of leading.The more often he shows his true self to the world, the better for Joe Biden.11/3/2020.
AP - you suck. Now is where I unfollow.
Just another message to his racist supporters. He knows it makes them happy.
I see the flag is half staff, how long did that take?
OMG 14 ARGH!!!!!
the racism is clear
You'd post this story if it was 14 seconds. The media is trying to create a story where there is one just for the purposes of division. Shame on you.
This is how to divide a nation, good job AP
APNN fucking baiting instigators
Nice try.
Well...you just lost me AP.
Seriously. The man could cure cancer and you would talk about how long it took him.
As quickly as information travels these days, even 14 minutes is too long for a public response. Regardless of policy position or party, a President should act Presidential; this President shows an extreme lack of empathy, very similar to your common psychopath.
Really? Really? Wow we are getting desperate aren’t we lol
They had to find a picture book of the civil rights movement for him 🙄
Why in the hell does the length of time matter? HE IS THE PRESIDENT PERHAPS THERE WERE MORE PRESSING MATTERS TO ADDRESS. The guy died.... it wasn’t like he was in a hurry to get a tweet! MSMBIASISREAL
Big effing deal! Why are you counting the hours Report some actual news.
F liberals
Putin’s lapdog will bark instantly only to support Pettus.
BFD. You never miss an opportunity to disappoint.
What is the acceptable time frame? If it's too soon it's called pouncing. Y'all are suppose to be reporting the news.
Trump was busy playing golf,
Please pause while the rest of the Country composes itself. Is it a race to send condolences out the fastest or should that not enter a sane persons mind? FakeNews
TraitorTrump is acracist
POTUS still waiting for Lewis to show up to his inauguration
🤔 Did you ever stop to think... Hmmm... The president may have been busy?
Yeah, he just that kind of dirtbag.
Baby steps. At least he did it.
Is anyone surprised. Black is not his favorite color
Nobody cares!
He praises white nationalist who found against Cong. Lewis so why do you expect or are surprised by him saying anything. He was probably pressureed to tweet anyway.
This is a story?
Why is this news? For the associated press I would think there are much more important things than trying to make our President look bad. Disappointing for sure at how biased this media outlet is.
Does one get extra points or demerits depending on the AP's opinion of what is OK with them and what is not?
CHUMP would have been better to have not said anything, rather than that FLIMSY acknowledgement. Typical LITTLE MAN tactic from him.
So.......the.......fuck........what......fake AP you think tweeting is everything?
Why can’t people understand he doesn’t know who he is. It had to be explained to him first.
The dead it passes away, many are going to feel joy.
I used to consider you guys unbiased. That was a while ago, though.
Oh shut up.
Good for him
Blocked! Biased much
It's called 'sleep.'
Lewis treated Trump terribly. Not surprised.
Once again, Trump proves what a small, petty man he is.
He was too busy rambling about Obama, beans and his niece.
So
Huh?
His press secretary wrote his condolences.
petty nonsense
Fake news a nothing burger of a story....
Jesus, what do you loons want from Trump!! You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Stop driving people apart. Instead try encouraging the American citizens find common ground. Sickening behavior on the part of the media. All of you
How many other yeeets and retweets did he send in those 14 hours plus 18 holes of golf. He doesn’t care. He and the gop have quit America
EnemyOfThePeople
Alright cut it out. If 2 weeks passed than we will complain but I think we can give him a pass on this one
Did you get hacked by the Onion or something?
America does not have a president.
Who cares.
Oh what’s the law to respond ? 20 minutes , 3 hours? Can someone tell me?
So what? He ordered the lowering of the flag. Lewis was once a civil rights hero. But his 2cd career was as a far left Dem hack 'Resister' who divided the country & didn't have the decency to acknowlege the Presidents inauguration.
Must be a slow news day if you are counting hours.
So what
Let's be real. Dude spent most his time doggin the shit outta trump.
Please delete your account?
You are disgusting. Delete this account
Meanwhile, Joe Biden thinks Joe Louis died.
Praying for the souls in this post. May Jesus heal the hatred in your heart. Hatred kills from the inside first. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸
18 holes wearing a girdle and Depends takes a long time damn it! TrumpFailsAmerica AgolfTwitler
Are you surprised?
So?
he didn't read the briefing... or maybe misunderstood when briefed... to him one enemy vote down...
Just stop it!
So did you set an egg timer. Is there a legal time limit? What a cheap fucking comment from an association of reporters.
If he had commented sooner you would have attacked him for his insincerity. It doesn’t matter when or what he commented it would have been wrong in your biased eyes.
Just a tad bit late there, don’t you think....so sad. Mr. Lewis will be sadly missed.
And your point is what? He didn't respond as YOU wanted him too?
You're making asses of yourselves. AP is Quickly losing credibility with the American public.
So petty, I remember when the AP was reputable.
Stop complaining about the president and other leaders and do something to help lift our country.
Lewis did nothing but insult, berate and discount realDonaldTrump! Why should the President go out of his way to acknowledge the death of someone who despised him?
O Give me a Break!! Did you Report John Lewis Boycott The President Of The US Inauguration, Bush & Trump, Now SHUTUP!!!
Are you people real? So now you are watching our President by the hour? You are all agitators, liars, pathetic human beings. Mind your own business & leave President Trump alone. If you would quit spinning BS the world would be a better place. Trump2020
Remember when news was reputable? Yeah, me neither
So? Let's be honest here: had only 5 minutes passed, and the media would still have criticised him. Trump might be a jerk and even a bad president, but one day he'll step down. Unfortunately, we are stuck with you, the press.
Actual Parody.
Oh good grief! If he responded right away you would insinuate he was gleefully anticipating the death of Mr. Lewis.
Once again, too little too late! VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
why is this news
Why should President Trump acknowledge Lewis? Lewis hated him. So, Obama never said anything about Conservatives dying.
so fucking what?
And how many days has the AP been burying stories about rioting and killings in major cities? The AP is short on news, and tall on Leftist propaganda.
Don’t want to interrupt another of his hundreds of rounds of golf
OMG did every reporter immediately tweet about his death? We are all saddened by his passing but did you think the President spoke with the family first. DoubleStandards patheticreporting
Ok? Your point?
The race baiter John Lewis May have been an icon decades ago, but in recent years he was an awful, hateful man.
Nice of him to take a break from golfing to chime in 🙄
Who?
ChiTownGuy24 omg the media kills me
so
he must have been busy writing the orders to fly the flag at half mast fuckin hell with this propaganda
He had his priorities for the day; that Seseme Street colouring book took precedence. It was probably 200 pages and he ran out of Orange Crayola’s. Give him a break will ya. He probably had to wait a few hours while his secret service agents had to fetch some at the local store.
Putin hadn’t approved the tweet yet.
Omfg!!!!! lgb1060 Misslinlou Mrsmmtbeauty bubblinsuga Is this what journalism is now
He didn't write that tweet.
It wasn't important to him. He is self centered, disrespectful and pathetic, not only as president but as a human being.
You would rather mark the passing of a tweet than a death.
AP sucks China balls.
So what?
In all fairness, it probably wasn’t announced on OANN.
Oh good grief! Let's count every second and every minute and every hour of somebody else's day before they respond to something! You're pathetic.
This is news?
Hard hitting news!
Enemy of the People.
Wicked bean counters...
'PROOF OF RACISM' - AP.
Racists do that
Pathetic and petty.
And?
