Bush was an illegitimate president and refused to attend the inauguration in 2001. \u00a0 John attended the inaugurations of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama (Democrats), but not for George W.\u00a0 Bush and now not for Donald J. Trump (Republicans). \u00a0 He claimed Bush and Trump are not legitimate\u2026. a pattern for John. \u00a0He is a divisive partisan.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>John Lewis lied. \u00a0 It does not matter that he is a celebrated civil rights activist.\u00a0 He lied.<\/li>\n<li>John Lewis and Democrats used this same argument about illegitimacy to hurt Bush and justify not supporting the president. \u00a0 This is standard operating procedure for them.<\/li>\n<li>This whole thing about Russians is to provide justification so Democrats can be disloyal to the president.\u00a0 It is a con game by them and the media. \u00a0 \u00a0And Trump is calling them on it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it interesting that the establishment politicians including Brennan, Lewis, McCain, Graham, Schumer, Obama, and the mainstream media are in lock step? \u00a0 \u00a0And that no one is focused on the misdeeds of the Clintons, \u00a0Podesta, establishment politicians, the CIA, or the mainstream media? \u00a0 Weren\u2019t they the same ones who opposed Trump as a candidate? \u00a0Didn\u2019t they say that Trump would never win the nomination or get elected? \u00a0 Weren\u2019t they the same ones who said that Brexit would never pass? Yes, they are the\u00a0very globalists who put the world order ahead of America.<\/p>\n<p>As said by McCain: \u00a0\u201cTrump is a threat to the world order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why does Trump have a low approval rating before he is even sworn in? \u00a0 Because of how the media presents the news about Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Go Trump! \u00a0 Drain the swamp starting with Lewis, the CIA, and CNN!\u00a0 Make America great again.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/citizensjournal.us\/drain-the-swamp-starting-with-lewis-the-cia-and-cnn\/\">http:\/\/citizensjournal.us\/drain-the-swamp-starting-with-lewis-the-cia-and-cnn\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drain the Swamp starting with Lewis, the CIA, and CNN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63716\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
