President-elect Donald Trump again criticized Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) on Saturday, claiming the congressman had been ignoring urban crime.
On Saturday evening, just days ahead of Martin Luther King Day, Trump tweeted: "Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!"
Earlier in the day, the president-elect had attacked Lewis, a prominent civil rights leader, writing on Twitter: “Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to……mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”
The day before, Lewis had said that he believed Trump was not a "legitimate" president because of alleged Russian hacks targeting the Democratic National Convention.
Many social media users were furious that Trump was continuing his feud with Lewis. See a sampling of the outrage below:
