In its last tweet of the Obama era, the White House Twitter account sent out a photo with civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) front and center.
Lewis, who said Trump was not a “legitimate president” a week ago, chose not to attend the inauguration. Trump attacked Lewis last week in a series of tweets saying Lewis should focus less on criticizing him and more on helping his district.
“All talk talk talk – no action,” Trump had written, which caused a lot of backlash given Lewis’s major contributions to the Civil Rights movement.
The photo tweeted was from White House photographer Pete Souza and was taken in 2015 when the Obamas and Lewis marched for the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the Selma to Montgomery civil rights march.
Yes we can.
Yes we did.
