Mr. President elect do you stand by your tweet that representative lewis is all talk no action . Reporter the georgia congressman igniting the feud with this statement. I dont see this president elect as a legitimate president. I think the russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of hillary clinton. Reporter trump firing back that lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district which is in horrible shape and crime infested, and that lewis is all talk, talk talk, no action or results sad but lewis rose to prominence as a man of action in the fight for civil rights, alongside Martin Luther king jr.

Were you offended by the president elects tweet that representative lewis is all talk and no action .

As trump prepares for the health care fight, he is still doing battle with the Intelligence Community which he compared to nazis and accused of leaking damaging information about him. I think its a disgrace, and i say that and i say that. Thats something that nazi germany would have done and did do. Reporter now outgoing cia director john brennan is taking the rare step of publicly criticizing the president elect. What i do find outrageous is equating the Intelligence Community with nazi germany. I do take great umbrage at that, and there is no basis for mr.
