Kirk Franklin is standing with Congressman John Lewis after president elect Donald Trump tried to discredit the Civil Rights icon on twitter. The Losing My Religion singer posted a pic of himself with the Civil Rights Leader with the caption,”Today I stand with those who stood with HIM”
The Lewis-Trump craziness started Saturday, when Lewis told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he didn’t see Trump as a legitimate president and wouldn’t be attending the inauguration for the first time in 30 years.
Trump struck back on Twitter, saying that Lewis needed to focus on his congressional district in Georgia, “which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.”
Many people, including Democrats, Republicans and residents in his district, immediately came to Lewis’ defense on social media and noted that Trump’s argument couldn’t be further from the truth.
