The sources added that Clinton and Bush will also participate in the funeral, which will be held Thursday morning at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. The service marks the last day of a six-day memorial ceremony honoring Lewis.The news of the three former commanders in chief each having a role in the service comes the same day President Donald Trump avoided a final opportunity to pay an in-person tribute to the late civil rights icon at Joint Base Andrews.
Trump offered brief words of condolence on Twitter after Lewis' passing earlier this month and ordered flags lowered for a day."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 at the time.There are no plans for Trump to attend Lewis' funeral on Thursday.
Glad 1 of our 2 presidential pedophiles were able to make it
Sounded like he was still on the campaign trail. NO wait, he never left.
Tick tock...
Racist Obama.
All 3 racist failures paying homage to the same. Hopefully they join these types of worthless failures soon.
As there loading him into car, his family is videoing with cell phones 😫is there no sacred moments! This is sad! Let him rest! 🙏
I wanna know with ALLLLLLLL JohnLewisLegacy HE DID FOR CIVIL RIGHTS WHY NOBODY TOOK THE TIME TO IRON HIS FLAG 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🤔🧐🤔🧐🧐🧐
A racist delivering another racist eulogy
13 days already. Cannot believe is not buried yet. Cruel
John Lewis is an epitome of Civil Rights while President BarackObama is it's embodiment. It's well in order for Barack to eulogize the icon, John Lewis. May his soul rest in Civil Power💪🏾 BillClinton HillaryClinton MichelleObama JoeBiden GeorgeWBush__
Will Obama's wing man be there?
No way he makes it through the eulogy without dissing the current President.
Now that’s a president
rosemaryCNN Just as well Trump isn't going. The Hon. Mr. Lewis might be heard protesting from inside the coffin if he dared show up and said anything...
It’ll be a beautiful speech from a real president, rather than some orange traitor spewing disinformation and hate.
This photo speaks for itself : Everything he stood for. I have it hanged in the hallway on ' The Wall of Inspirations ' ... Thank You Mr. Lewis. May Your Soul Rest In Peace . ✌🙏💜
Of course he is. A man of the utmost integrity. Sure do miss him!
Keep the kids away from Billy!
I love President Obama❤️
Nice to be reminded what a real president looks like
Bury the left-wing loon and get it over with. As for Obama...
Swamp funeral theatre.
It will be good to see real presidents again!
🙏👍✌️😇👏
Thats a full circle kind of moment ❤️
Loved this 💖
Sad when they have to pay these men to show up at a funeral,
It will be great to see our 'Real Presidents' pay their respects to that great leader.
👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾💓
Next gig is in prison for treason
Utterly stunned, but suppose we shouldn't be, I guess that the current occupant of the WH, will not be attending. A combination of selfishness, self-centeredness, egotism, bigotry, discrimination, disrespect, uneducated, lack of any ounce of leadership qualities what-so-ever.
Why is Barack Obama titled as Former President and Clinton and Bush titled as President?
Did anyone really expect anyone other than Obama? All you blowhards know Lewis didn’t have anything nice to say about Trump OR America. He was a racist Black Man and was a silent director of BLM and these riots. Also, more than likely he sent in his absentee mail ballot.
'President' Trump says he won't attend. Now what kind of President does that? A racist President.
there is still time for Derwood to participate. He can show up and lick all of their buttcracks. MakeAmericabidetcleanagain
It's crazy how bad Republicans are now to make George W Bush look like a Saint.
Disgusting media hurting someone's feeling by broadcasting it for politicians.
I miss President Obama. I miss his vocabulary. I miss his intelligence. I miss his class. I want one of those Build-a-Bears that says in his voice- 'Everything is going to be okay.'
Holy hell, he died 2 weeks ago and still hasn't had a funeral.
All while Trump will be rage tweeting and sending racist dog whistles...
Too much CNN chatter, RBG is in trouble.
Ahhh! Another funeral trump wasn’t invited to attend.
Thanks , Will do in Prayer and Homage !! Glory to Thee John
Even Bush has sympathy, (given the fact that some of the things he did I didn’t approve of and he’s definitely not racist!
but not trump. I think we knew our other presidents were standup men
VandyBuck Anybody else looking forward to the Michelle George reunion. They're fun together even at somber events seem genuinely happy to see each other.
42Gnome Learning this made me cry happy tears.
But of course, that’s exactly what should happen. Let the racist go golfing
RIP John Lewis. We need more people who are willing to stand up for what is right. A young woman was recently kidnapped by her family in an effort to force her to stop being a Christian missionary.Her story of conviction & determination is truly inspiring.
What about the big orange turd? 😂. Stay away! Not wanted!!
Respect to Bush and Clinton.
Love that !!
DianaReneeBake2 Thank You. BarackObama America needs your comforting words and encouragement.
That is so sweet . He was a man of integrity who put his life on the line for a cause he believed in.💕💕much love and respect.
An instant classic
Trump will be golfing
Woo fucking hoo
Happy this will happen.
Where was Trump? Oh I forgot that he doesn't care about people.......
And trump isn’t going. WTF
what a phony display of hubris!
That's great.
SwampWaterSwami A *REAL* president, as opposed to the sniveling Butthurt Baby in Chief who currently occupies the WH, along with his nepotistic appointees and other members of his criminal enterprise.
The WHITE President ain't gonna attend. Joebiden should introduce a bill in the house to repaint and rename the White House. Remember a Black guy loved there? It ain't just WHITE house any more.
Can not think of a better person.
I am now imagining the tweets that will erupt from Trump when Obama speaks
but not the racist guy. on brand.
(CNN) - Former President Barack Obama will give the eulogy at US Rep. John Lewis' funeral on Thursday and former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will attend the service, according to sources familiar with the former presidents' plans
I’m glad Bush is going, bring back the good old days when the Republican Party had some class! Sadly it just keeps getting worse. I think of myself as in the middle between left and right. I can’t agree with the Republicans on anything anymore.
So Twitter should be a hotspot tomorrow it sounds like... I can guess one tweeter who will be wound up.
In other words the important people, the people of integrity will be there to show their respect and admiration for a life well lived and in the service to others . Who’s missing...a nobody .
That’s wonderful
Love that, both of these fine men did their best to help our country. It’s awful that John Lewis is gone from this world. We still have President Obama & I am greatful for that. Hope he & his family are doing well. Such a beautiful & decent family we can all be proud of.
I'm assuming our Racist in Chief will not be attending, and playing golf instead...
No president Trump, probably busy on Twitter! No surprise, he hates Black people! So if you are african-american and vote for him, remember John Lewis!!!!
I thought they were detained?
Oh man... baby fingers will be rage tweeting a Twitter sh*t storm tomorrow. His bruised ego won’t be able to handle all the attention and admiration over Barack Obama and John Lewis
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Oval right now.
And of course realDonaldTrump and his racist regime won’t attend. Racists. Racists. WhitePowerHouse
I’m sure Trump will be off golfing...
a great farewell from 3 great presidents to a great man repjohnlewis made history in the USA, Peace in his grave and Joy in heaven
Those others wouldn’t want Trump there. He’s been incredibly rude to all of them. It wouldn’t be sincere either...
What about fathead Trump? Too ignorant to put aside a grudge and make a respectable gesture and attend the funeral services for John Lewis. He's an embarrassment to the office and nation. Despicable behavior but what else would one expect from an uncouth individual.
I'm crying I LOVE YOU BAROOOOCK
I didn't always agree with Congressman Lewis but I ees9ect him
such a nice tribute!
Thank the lord for a true leader who can put sentences together and not embarrass anyone with his words.
My God will they bury this racist. They been dragging his body around for a week. Never did shit for anybody while in office.
Is Jimmy Carter too frail these days?
