Trump attending the Museum of Civil Rights opening

Is like having a descendant or relative of Adolf Hitler or Joseph Goebbels at the opening of a memorial to the Holocaust.

1. What's he wearing for the occasion. A white hood and torch? n/t

2. I wonder if he will say...

“I don’t expect you people to thank us, but you’re welcome.”

4. Rep. John Lewis to skip Trump visit to Mississippi Civil Rights Museum

Civil rights icons Rep. John Lewis and Rep. Bennie Thompson announced Thursday they will not attend President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, calling the trip "an insult" to the African-Americans commemorated there.

“President Trump’s attendance and his hurtful policies are an insult to the people portrayed in this civil rights museum," Thompson (D-Miss.) and Lewis (D-Ga.) said in a joint statement.

Trump is scheduled to appear at the opening of the museum in Jackson on Saturday. The museum, according to its website, will feature galleries that hearken to a time "when Mississippi was ground zero for the national Civil Rights Movement."

Trump’s attendance has come under fire from civil rights groups, with the NAACP casting it as an "affront" to African-Americans
