Fox News Readers Remember John Lewis With Disgusting, Racist Hatred

The passing of civil rights icon and activist Rep. John Lewis was met with such racist glee from the readers of FoxNews.com, the site shut down comments on at least two articles.

Our long-time reader Andrew read through the comments so we didn't have to! They are quite a glimpse into at least some of the Fox News "base."

Warning: the comments below are not for the faint of heart.

Andrew found these on the article about Lewis’ death last night. He grabbed screen shots before the comments were shut down:

Later, there was an article about tributes to Lewis, which also engendered such awful comments, the whole section was shutdown. But, again, not before Andrew caught some of them.

And then there’s Barack Obama. For all kinds of reasons, this made me cry today:

Not many of us get to live to see our own legacy play out in such a meaningful, remarkable way. John Lewis did:https://t.co/KbVfYt5CeQ

I’m no at all surprised. The FOX viewership are the exact kind of people I want nothing to do with.

Yep, Harris Faulkner is hosting a special on race tomorrow night. Apparently, she interviewed Hannity for it. I guess Tucker Carlson was off “trout fishing” and couldn’t be on hand.

I have a feeling that Fox will be showcasing all their black friends this week.
I hope that they’re proud.

Why should we be surprised at the vileness of the MAGA supporters? Hillary Clinton spoke of a “basket of deplorables”.They haven’t gone anywhere. Now that Trump has given them permission to openly display their racism, they have no fear of showing what truly despicable people they are :-(

It’s the photo of the two men embracing that gets to me. I’m tearing up just looking at it again.

Joe Biden also made a very eloquent statement on John’s passing.

The Fox Nation is a self-sustaining, in-bred cesspool of racial hatred. With almost no exception, the comments directed at the life of John Lewis are vile.
