VIDEO: EVIDENCE RACE CARD PLAYED WAY TOO SOON

Doesn't get much lower than this. Representative John Lewis (D-GA) made a claim that as he was walking to the Capitol after a health care meeting, he repeatedly heard Tea Party protestors call him a N****. Fellow Congressman Andre Carson (D-IN) was with Lewis and backed up his claims saying he heard the word several times. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) made the same claims.

Here is the report.

Civil rights icon and veteran Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, said anti-health care bill protesters Saturday repeatedly yelled the "N" word at him as he left a heath care meeting and walked to the Capitol.

"I haven't seen heard anything like this in more than 40 years, maybe 45." Lewis said. "Since the march from Selma to Montgomery really."

"Yeah, but it's okay," Lewis added. "I've faced this before. So, it reminded me of the 60's. There's a lot of downright hate and anger and people are just being downright mean."

Here is a report of Carson's claim. Here is a report on Clearver's claims. Small problem.

Video of the encounter has surfaced and no evidence verifying these claims exists.



Despicable.
