In its last tweet of the Obama era, the White House Twitter account sent out a photo with civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) front and center.

Lewis, who said Trump was not a "legitimate president" a week ago, chose not to attend the inauguration. Trump attacked Lewis last week in a series of tweets saying Lewis should focus less on criticizing him and more on helping his district.

"All talk talk talk - no action," Trump had written, which caused a lot of backlash given Lewis's major contributions to the Civil Rights movement.

The photo tweeted was from White House photographer Pete Souza and was taken in 2015 when the Obamas and Lewis marched for the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the Selma to Montgomery civil rights march.

That's an awesome shot. Poor Donald will never be worthy of chewing gum stuck to the bottom of Lewis' shoe. :laugh:

All wishful thinking and hyperbole aside, that's an embarrassing turnout for a Presidential Ingratiation. :tongue:

Oh wait ...... I remember..... John Lewis can lie and disrespect the PEOTUS but defence or retaliation is verboten.

What a joke.

He went to the second Bush inauguration.

When a 76 year old man forgets about something they did 16 years ago, it hardly constitutes a lie.

Only Democrats are allowed to attack their opponents. Not sure why Trump hasn't figured that out yet.

Trump attacks people via Twitter like a 7 year old playground bully.

I haven't seen that style from any Dems criticizing him.

I'm 72, I may forget what I had for dinner the other night but I can remember important things I have done.

If he can't remember any more clearly than that perhaps its time for him to resign from the House.
