While some could on moral grounds make such a statement without looking like self-serving hypocrites, but that is hard to say in this case. This war criminals enabler has found another useful opportunity for making a headline, media neocons would never quiz him on his own record of enabling some of the worst war criminals in US history:

John Lewis to skip inauguration, says Trump not a 'legitimate president'


USA TODAY
- ‎1 hour ago‎

Media may have been soft on him but moderate war/oppression lobbies mouth piece is being hit back by Trumpster today:


Trump: John Lewis is 'all talk,' 'no action or results'
Politico 2 hours ago
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday accused Rep. John Lewis of not doing enough for his district after the Georgia lawmaker and civil rights icon said he doesn't see the "president-elect as a legitimate president.




In related, JL pretends to be a human rights/child rights champion. But if he is mentally fit, his recent track record paints him as a despicable hypocrite and "normalizer" (not sure if white or pink wahser is right term here?) of war criminals accused of heinous crimes against children of color.

Rand's statement is now top headline on google news. Although different style & words than Trump's but defending Trump in his criticism:

Trump may have butchered one again, even WaPo neocons have been forced to admit.



The damaging fact that Donald Trump got right about John Lewis

January 17

So here's what we now know:
* John Lewis has said the last two Republican presidents were illegitimate.
* John Lewis has attended just one inauguration of a Republican president since he was first elected to Congress in 1986: that of George H.W. Bush in 1988.
Trump, he of the often-erroneous tweets, actually had this one right (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/821369651968012288).

But what the revelation does do is make it more difficult to paint his opposition to Trump in anything but a partisan way. Democrats — Lewis included — have spent lots of time (and rhetoric) insisting that their objections to Trump are not rooted in simple disagreements over policy or the fact that he is not of their party. Their opposition to Trump, they insist, is centered on a nonpartisan belief/worry that he is far outside of the mainstream of political thought that governs the two parties and, as such, represents a clear and present danger to the nation and its citizens.
That could still be true! But Lewis's forgetfulness about not attending the inauguration of the 43rd president for the same stated reasons as his taking a pass on the inauguration of the 45th president — and the fact that both presidents are Republicans! — undercuts not only the “principled opposition” argument but also the “Trump is fundamentally different/worse than everyone who has come before” argument.
The more Democrats look like pure partisans blocking Trump solely because he is a Republican, the less success they will have in opposing him in a way that reaches beyond their party base. That's why Lewis's memory glitch is damaging.

So, basically, Lewis is a small minded hypocrite?

There have been many attacks from both sides that crossed the line but this cartoon was just way beyond the pale even for left wingy zionist Jim Morin.
