Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, urged President Trump to remain silent on Rep. John Lewis’s (D-Ga.) recent death, suggesting his remarks would serve as an unwanted distraction.
“.@realDonaldTrump while the nation mourns the passing of a national hero, please say nothing. Please don’t comment on the life of Congressman Lewis. Your press secretary released a statement, leave it at that,” she tweeted. “Please let us mourn in peace.”
Way to stand up to the top of the hierarchy, and tell them not to try to benefit from the work and honor of people in lower groups!
