Rep. John Lewis takes action on gun violence. He is a National Treasure not the Establishment!

These people are not the lesser of two evils. They are fighting against evil every day and they are fighting evil now. I am proud to be a member of the same Democratic Party that is lead by people like John Lewis, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton and so many others who stand up to the NRA and support each other in defeating the Republican Party in every level of government.

He is saying, hopefully they will listen to 80% of Americans rather than the lobby NRA.

Between this and the Senate's Filibuster, it's been a proud time for the Democratic Party. The NRA and those that vote "their way" are being shown up for who they are now.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the GOP today.

Something 'good' came out of it, and I hope their deaths will not be in vain.
