Celebs react to John Lewis' funeral in Atlanta

[sweet_heloise]

People gathered at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church Horizon Sanctuary today for a "celebration of life" honoring the late Congressman John Lewis. President Obama delivered the eulogy. Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were also there.

Yea and “the Movement” still has some Stokely in it.... #neverforget

I was watching part of the pre-show on TVOne - They kept starting and stopping the audio at random for some reason. Luckily I recorded it on CNN instead.

He spoke a lot about the importance of the vote and how to make sure each vote truly counted, and I was really hoping he’d call for the abolition of the electoral college, but I guess that would have been seen as too partisan.

Also I'm not here for the whitewashing of George W. Bush's legacy by white liberals

Not just a war criminal but he fucked up the response to Hurricane Katrina, eroded so many civil liberties with the Patriot Act, he gave us ICE, etc. And we're still dealing with the War in Afghanistan. He was absolutely worse than Trump.

RIP John, you are greatly missed.

Oh and fuck Bill Clinton. May his history of horrible policies continue to tarnish his legacy and not be overshadowed by saxophone playing or generation z memes.

I long for the day we never have to hear about the Clintons.
