John Lewis did more to make America great in one day on the Edmund Pettus Bridge than Donald Trump ever will.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

It's telling, I'm afraid, that Donald Trump treats Vladimir Putin with more respect than he does John Lewis.

[Southern Poverty Law Center @splcenter]

John Lewis is an American hero who has changed this country for the better with courage, sacrifice, and a lifelong commitment to justice.

[Matt Fuller @MEPFuller]

Donald Trump says John Lewis is all talk.

Here's a picture of John Lewis being beaten by a state trooper on "Bloody Sunday" in 1965.

Coming up: There are two ironclad rules in politics. One: Don't go after Michelle Obama. Two: Don't go after John Lewis. #AMJoy

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

The thing that's striking about America's historical amnesia and racism, is that many of the policeman who beat John Lewis are still alive.

[Darrick Hamilton @DarrickHamilton]
