There was a time when the Rev. William Owens
and Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., stood shoulder to shoulder ideologically.
During the civil rights marches that galvanized millions during the
1960s, they both stood up for the innate equality in all people.
Now, Owens believes Lewis is “on the wrong side of history.”
Last week, Lewis attacked President-elect Donald Trump as not being a
“legitimate” president due to Russian influence in the election and
said he would not attend Trump’s inauguration on Friday. Lewis had been
one of the first to endorse Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Owens said the root of Lewis’ problem, like that of other Clinton diehards, is that Clinton lost.
“I think what they are looking at is a way to find out why Hillary Clinton was not elected,” he said on Fox Report Weekend.
“She was not elected because of what the Russians did; she was not
elected because of what she said,” referring to a statement Clinton made
that Americans must change their religious beliefs.
“Mr. Trump is our president,” said Owens, the leader of the Coalition of African-American Pastors.
Owens made similar remarks to the National Press Club.
“We should respect the law,” he said then. “Give Mr. Trump a chance.”

said, Rev Owen. I'll bet the majority of Clinton supporters are not
aware of her comment on religion. I heard it only once thanks to the
Clinton supporting media. If Mr Trump had said it we would have heard it
50 million times! I truly wish more Black Americans would listen to Rev
Owen instead of Sharpton and Rep Lewis.
Rev
Owen says this,but how many on the left are going to listen?
