For decades in Congress, John Lewis opposed every piece of criminal justice or welfare reform legislation that would make the people of his district safer, more self-reliant, and more prosperous
Trump is 100 percent right about Congressman John Lewis
For nearly 20 years, I lived in Congressman John Lewis’ (D) district in southeast Atlanta, most of those years in a tiny house I bought for $19,000. My neighborhood, Boulevard Heights, was then a poor community in the shadow of the federal prison where Cuban criminals from the Mariel boatlifts famously rioted in 1987. I moved to Boulevard Heights a few years after the riots but heard the stories.
The smoke from the prison disturbances was so thick that residents were instructed over loudspeakers to lock themselves inside their houses. Nobody knew if the prisoners had escaped. My friend sat in his grandmother’s house with his gun ready.
