to brand something that is terrible to do. for african americans that was absolutely incredible. first off you point out john lewis was not a senator, a congressman. why else did that comment rub so many the wrong way? fundamentally we re talking about the foundation for john lewis s work in congress over the course of decades. he was a champion of voting rights. he was there and instrumental in the passage of the original voting rights act. the idea that securing the right to vote at the federal level would be something that john lewis was against suggests that herschel walker has no idea what he s talking about. i mean, this is something he ought to know something about. he s a u.s. senate candidate, but for him to suggest that somehow democrats are doing something wrong by honoring john lewis with a voting rights package is fundamentally ridiculous. it was shocking to hear herschel walker make these comments in such a way to suggest that he hasn t studied the issue at all. here
