Obama said the same thing and so did Joe Biden.
Deflection. Obama and Biden weren't on Twitter disparaging John Lewis' legacy when he died, they were talking about the work he did and praising him. They were consistent. Tariq is not consistent.
Tariq was saying John Lewis "promoted the passivity and forgiveness for white supremacist terrorism" when John Lewis died and constantly making fun of him, and then turn around and say "wishing Trump a speedy recovery" when Trump did support white supremacist terrorism and ran interference for them, just shows a glaring inconsistency.
