[HipChick]

3. Thank You....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. A deserved burn from an iconic American hero. nt

[politicat]

5. Oh, ChuckieToad... the word is forged, not foraged.

Senator Lewis did not go into the wilds, in search of the elusive fiddlehead conversation or morel commonality.

And if you couldn't speak clearly enough for the transcription to work, then you lack the basic skills necessary to your job. We already know you lack the intellectual ones.

6. Thank you John Lewis!

He really is a hero and I'm glad he's on the planet right now.

7. Todd didn't actually say "forage," did he?

It must be a transcription error. Considering the source, maybe not.

8. I love that man!

9. John Lewis is a hero in every sense of the word.

[KittyWampus]

10. Thank You for posting. Lewis is a lion heart.

[gratuitous]

11. chucktodd: Why is that?

Ordinarily, if a journalist asked his subject this question, I'd think it was to draw out more information. In this case, I think it's because chucktodd really doesn't know any reason whatsoever why anyone anywhere would not consider Trump a legitimate president.

12. Good man, still fighting the good fight. nt

[sheshe2]

13. Thank you John Lewis.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. OK, who else is skipping the coronation?

[Skittles]

16. THAT ORANGE FASCIST PIECE OF SHIT WILL *NEVER* BE MY PRESIDENT

*NEVER*
