Literally mimicking guys like this now
Are you seriously of the belief that Lewis was an irrelevant bit player?
What he has done in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today?
What has he done.
He's living off of legacy.
I don't idolize him.

"Now, 76, he is considered the conscience of Congress."
Bills Sponsored by John Lewis (D-Ga.)
"He was arrested [twice] at the South African Embassy in the 1980's in American protests against apartheid."
"In 1988, the year after he was sworn into Congress, Lewis introduced a bill to create a national African American museum in Washington. The bill failed and for 15 years he continued to introduce it with each new congress, but each time it was blocked in the Senate, largely by Conservative, Southern Senator Jesse Helms. In 2002, Helms did not seek reelection, Lewis gained bipartisan support, and in 2003 President George W. Bush signed the bill to establish the museum, with the Smithsonian's Board of Regents to establish the location. The National Museum of African American History and Culture, located adjacent to the Washington Memorial, held its opening ceremony on September 25, 2016.[60]"
"Lewis opposed the U.S. waging of the 1991 Gulf War,[30][31] and the 2000 trade agreement with China that passed the House.[32]"
"He opposed the Clinton administration on NAFTA and welfare reform.[27] After welfare reform passed, Lewis was described as outraged; he said, "Where is the sense of decency? What does it profit a great nation to conquer the world, only to lose its soul?"[33]"
"In 1994, when Clinton was considering invading Haiti, Lewis, in contrast to the Congressional Black Caucus as a whole, opposed armed intervention.[34]"
"In January 2001, Lewis boycotted the Inauguration of George W. Bush by staying in his Atlanta district. He did not attend the swearing-in because he didn't believe Bush was the true elected president.[43]"
"Lewis was a "fierce partisan critic of President Bush" and the Iraq war.[28] The Associated Press said he was "the first major House figure to suggest impeaching George W. Bush," arguing that the president "deliberately, systematically violated the law" in authorizing the National Security Agency to conduct wiretaps without a warrant. Lewis said, "He is not king, he is president."[39]"
"In March 2003, Lewis spoke to a crowd of 30,000 in Oregon during an anti-war protest before the start of the Iraq War.[44]"
"He was arrested in 2006[45] and 2009 and outside the Sudan embassy in protest against the genocide in Darfur.[46]"
"Lewis also led the 2016 House Democrats sit-in demanding that the House take action on gun control in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting and the failure of the United States Senate to act.[48]"
