Barack Obama gave a powerful eulogy for Rep. John Lewis at his funeral service.

A demonstrator tries to shield himself from tear gas deployed by federal agents during a Black Lives Matter protest at the Mark O. Hatfield US Courthouse in Portland, Oregon, July 29.

Trump has repeatedly described protesters in Portland as"anarchists and agitators" and emphasized the need for federal troops to"protect" federal property in the city.as long as Oregon authorities take steps to protect federal buildings. In the 1998 Times piece, Lewis wrote that when he met Wallace in 1979, he was a"changed man" who acknowledged his bigotry and"wanted to be forgiven."Lewis wrote for the New York Times prior to his death that was published Thursday to coincide with his funeral, the late Democratic lawmaker compared Black Lives Matter to the civil rights movement of his era.

"When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century," he wrote,"let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression, and war."

Only things missing from authorities beating protesters in the early civil rights movement days in Portland were the attack dogs and fire hoses...

Nothing peaceful about what went on in Portland. Terrorist rioters

Does he compare all the Democrats demonizing Republicans as deplorables and blaming the suffering of the black community on Police officers and “white privilege” to Nazi’s because that’s what they did, they demonized part of the community, and blamed them for their troubles

But he had no problems tear gassing the protesters in Ferguson. It's amazing how you let him get away with this hypocrisy because of your inherent bias. You should be ashamed of yourself

Too stupid to remember that it was the democrats who held the longest filibuster in history against the civil rights act. Depending of the stupidity of his followers which seems to be intact!

Soon, 'White men will finally have to worry whether or not they are a credit to their sex and to their race. And so far the indications are not very good.' 'white men, we are being painted by the same bad brush. And it is in the hands of the President.'

Obama he himself is such a racist and a relentless nation divider.

He is probably comparing it with the protests in DC, but that doesn’t make as good as a headline.

Damn, I miss that Man!!! Class.

PeAcEfUl

That’s about the stupidest thing I’ve read so far today.

What more do you expect, I expect no less, its obama we're talking about, the master divider.

45 wants a Civil War but he won't get it.
