NEWS ITEM: Unwilling to let criticism pass, Donald Trump on Saturday pilloried as “all talk, no action” national icon John Lewis, who was repeatedly beaten by police and nearly lost his life during protests in the long struggle for civil rights.*
EDITORIAL: Yes, a man who over fifty years ago had the self-discipline to passively absorb the sadistic blows of club-wielding police in order to adhere to his belief in non-violence, all to advance the cause of civil rights, is “all talk.” The man is a shameless embarrassment. (I’m not referring to Congressman Lewis.)
