John Lewis was a civil rights leader and he doesn't seem too bothered by the state of race-relations in Georgia these days. Faux-Russian allegations are obviously much more salient to him... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lewis_(civil_rights_leader)

Among the many statements that can be made about politicians pointing out they are civil rights leaders 50 years ago is one of the most pointless. I'm sure there are some who were honorable then and are honorable now. But when you look at people like Marion Barry, Jesse Jackson, John Lewis, it is hard to escape the sense they do not deserve any respect now regardless of their past.

Yeah, TIL. When I queried Wikipedia for just John Lewis, that was the first link.
