Trump�s feud with John Lewis echoes a long, difficult relationship with African Americans
By Janell Ross, Vanessa Williams The Washington Post

Many years after his infamous stand against the police during the Civil Rights era, John Lewis speaks out against Trump's impending inauguration.

The eruption of hostilities between President-elect Donald Trump and civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) may be recorded as just one more example of what has become standard Twitter retaliation for Trump.

But coming on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday weekend, it also reignited the passions around Trump�s difficult history with African Americans, the group of voters from whom he might be most alienated as he prepares to move into the White House this week.

In an interview with NBC�s �Meet the Press� on Friday, Lewis said he did not regard Trump to be �a legitimate president� because of allegations that high-level Russian operatives interfered in the election on Trump�s behalf. Trump lobbed back with a tweet in the early hours of Saturday morning that disparaged both the congressman and his district, which includes some of Atlanta�s most affluent neighborhoods.
