king was the conscience of the american people, john lewis is the conscience today. >> john lewis has earned the right to say whatever he wants to say, right? he's earned the right to be the crazy grandfather, the grandfather that provides some sort of knowledge, and teaching for younger folks. he has his right to say his opinion. i think it's insensitive of mr. trump not to be cognizant of everything that was going on at this moment. this was a great opportunity to build a bridge with mr. lewis and the civil rights generation, to have better conversations about race in america, and mr. trump failed to take advantage of that. >> and now there's paris, paris, what's your take? >> you set me up like that? >> i know you have a different take. >> i will first say i have worked with congressman lewis. when i was at the white house we honored him. he is a national treasure. senator mansion was correct when he said his statements were uncalled nor. >> donald trump is the legitimate president of the united states based upon the way we do our elections systems in this country. >> what makes me

when trump fired back at lewis, he also took aim at the district that lewis represents. he called it crime infested. of course lewis's district includes atlanta. atlanta to trump, wrong. paula sandoval spoke to the pastor of lewis's church. >> reporter: ebenezer baptist church is not only a church -- he attended sunday's service, no sign of senator lewis, but there was plenty of politics discussed during today's sermon, particularly the senior pastor of the church who called out the incoming president by name, he was criticizing his twitter tirade and his specific targeting of this civil rights icon. take a listen. >> rather than sending nasty tweets, he really ought to sit at john lewis's feet and learn what service, sacrifice and integrity look like. >> reporter: stepping up to defend not just lewis, but also his community as well. specifically after one tweet was posted by the incoming president donald trump saying that john lewis should spend more time on fixing his district which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime infe infested. as a result

it is irresponsible for john lewis to have done this. and the other piece of this, chuck, is that barack obama should step up as well and call it what it is. it's wrong what is happening. it's wrong how some of these democrats are treating president-elect trump. we have a great relationship with the white house. i talk to den mismcdnis mcdonna day. the transfer of power within the white house is going great. but to do this to president-elect trump five days before he puts his hands on the bible is just wrong. by the way, the democrats are fund-raising on this comment from congressman lewis right now. so they're making money on it. >> let me ask you this because one of the things that congressn lewis says that he ll never forget and possibly never forgive is when donald trump said that vladimir putin was a stronger leader than president obama. and there will be people that respond to your comments right now and say donald trump spent five years questioning the legacy of barack obama's constitutional viability to be president of the united

his name was aaron lewis. he was an unemployed truck driver who had been convicted of petty crimes in several states. to beverly's son carl jr., he didn't look like a kidnapper. >> he just looks like a regular guy. so it was like what did this punk want with my mom? like it didn't make sense. i almost was like are we sure we have the right guy? >> detectives believed they did. but the roller coaster ride for beverly carter's family and friends was far from over. >> i can remember the feeling when he was captured, we were just all like, yes, where is she? come on, where are you? we're ready to find you. >> as investigators focused on aaron lewis, they backed off on beverly's husband as a suspect. now detective allison was keeping carl in the loop. >> he said we got him. i said, well, where's beverly? he said we're still questioning him. we're going to find out. we're going to keep on till we find her. >> then did you have a little burst of hope? >> just a little bit of hope. that's all i had. >> really your big

the thought that i have about lewis is an operative one also. the first thought is -- is rex tillerson and jim mattis, the defense secretary, will they have special people monitoring donald trump's twitter feed to see what policy becomes? the john lewis thing is interesting as a political issue and moral issue and it's also interesting as an operational issue and i'm curious how he uses this going forward because he's about to become president and he's so easily trolled by people that when he becomes president, if north korea or someone else starts trolling him, how is he going to react because this is not an appropriate reaction. >> this is just -- i'm going to scroll the list and these are just the entities and individuals since he won the presidency, rich, and it's a long list. john lewis, you throw on there, it was chuck jones at one point. you had a steelworker guy, gm, i mean, most of them have been democrats, some republicans, lots of members of the media, present company included. at what point is this a problem for him? >> i think every

lewis. let's take a listen. >> john lewis is pouting. he lost, it's like a spoiled child and we've seen it with the others, they can't get over the fact they lost and what do spoiled little kids do, run around and throw a tantrum. >> now this is a member of the transition team, let's go to more morreale, former mayor of new orleans. always good to see you. good morning. >> good morning, good afternoon. >> this has gotten pretty nasty very fast. let me get your general reaction to this grog battle over congressman lewis saying he doesn't view donald trump as a legitimate president. >> all of this discussion we're missing the essence of the issue, the russians' involvement in the last campaign cycle. so the issue at hand, and what else certainly spurred congressman lewis' statements and he's a great american, is concerns that are legitimate, raised by the intelligence agencies, that somehow the russians and vladimir putin himself were involved in the last election. it matters not whether it affected the outcome. what matters is, was there

the war of words with congressman john lewis. what the president-elect tweeted that is sparking outrage. >>> reunited. the baby kidnapped 18 years ago now face to face with her biological family. the woman accused of taking her now behind bars. >>> the world's most famous hijacking mystery. stumping the fbi for nearly half a century, but did amateur scientists just discover a major clue? >>> and liftoff. the critical space launch. why this rocket has so much riding on it. >>> good evening, and thank you for joining us on this busy saturday. i'm cecilia vega. we begin tonight with what is proving to be a deadly winter blast. weather alerts at this hour across a dozen states, and now states of emergency. the roads downright dangerous here in northern missouri. an overturned semi. wave after wave of ice sending drivers skidding. this 20-car pileup in downtown wichita. 20 million across the country under threat. that flag right there frozen stiff north of tulsa, oklahoma. and no easy going for this woman in arnold, missouri, and for

>>> i think john lewis, i think he was feeling this, he was coming from a place of passion, john lewis, i don't think anyone asked if donald trump was a legitimate president, it's something that lewis felt he needed to say. what wasn't warranted is the president elect's attack on john lewis in such a personal and stereotypical way, to automatically revert to, your community sucks, because clearly you represent a black community that sucks is incorrect. >> it did go from russia meddling in the election, to you have a terrible community you should do more for your community. you haven't done anything. and quite honestly, the man almost lost his life, what more does one have to do in one lifetime? >> i want to say happy mlk day down here in atlanta. before i you know, say anything else, john, thank you for having me. john lewis got on "meet the press" and said there was a russian conspiracy that relates to the election process. the fbi said there is no evidence of any wrongdoing or any meddling in the election process, that right there for him to come out and say that the russians were --

john lewis is an icon. for president-elect trump to get into a twitter battle with him and insult the man is almost -- it's just something that just is stunning to me. you know, i kind of follow michelle obama's creed. when someone goes low, you go up. i think we're better off trying to show the country that we are not going to fall to the depths of, you know, that donald trump is clearly falling. i mean, at some point and maybe this is going to happen in the inaugural address, but it's going to be more significant in terms of his actions and words. the man is going to be president of everyone. he has a responsibility to lead that way. and this divisive rhetoric and this almost child-like tendency to use twitter on a day-to-day basis has got to stop. what is going to happen, i have no idea. >> i don't think donald trump is going to stop using twitter any time soon. but i appreciate your perspectives. we have a lot more to discuss. specifically what we were just talking about with chris. dozens of members of

you're never going to win a popularity contest with john lewis. i don't care who you are in this country or in the world. so that is -- that's the part of this that's a head scratcher. then donald trump looks at it and says, this is how i've been and this is what got me why change who i am. but it's going to make it -- this is why he's going to enter office with the lowest job approval going in of any president in recent times. >> and yet all of this is incredibly fascinating from a news perspective. >> i'm trying to picture what his inaugural is going to sound like. >> we don't know. >> an inaugural is a moment of unity. it really is. it's one of the great traditions of democracy for the world to witness. >> the peaceful transition of power. >> for the world to witness. it's quite -- >> what can you say? >> it's going to be something. >> chuck, thanks so much. got a great show coming up in about ten minutes. see "meet the press" every sunday at 10:30 on news 4 today. >>> meanwhile, we got to the bottom of a really important story. there's more an

>> john lewis is an icon for this service to his country. what he did in the civil rights movement allowed in people like myself to be able to vote and be able to vote in historic numbers for donald trump. donald trump received a historic amount of african-american support, 13% from african-american men like myself and john lewis. that would not have been possible without the sacrifices john lewis has given to this country. so with much respect we give john lewis for his time and service to this country and continues to aggressive. >> did donald trump cross a line with what he said about john lewis? >> i think that donald trump was talking about crime in atlanta. i'm from atlanta. i understand the challenges there. that's fair game to talk about the state of affairs anywhere in this country. it wasn't personal to john lewis. let's look at the facts, look at atlanta. atlanta is a great city. i think they've done great job of increasing police. but there are still challenges there. there's no one who will tell you there's still not challenges

but on john lewis. first of all, i disagree with john lewis. i believe that donald trump is a legitimate president. i didn't vote for him, i don't like the outcome, but, he won the electoral college. he's the president of the united states. at the same time, john lewis has a right to say that and for donald trump to say punch down, to resort to a outly personal attack on john lewis i think is beneath the presidency. one other point. i also find it ironic that donald trump would be so upset about somebody questioning his legitimacy when he spent years questioning the legitimacy of barack obama, up until about a year ago. and so come on, donald. >> this was a guy who popularized the birther movement. i want to ask you about this question, and it was in that statement from jerry nadler. you cannot normalize the trump presidency. what does that actually mean? he's not a legitimate president, but whatever you think of him, he is going to be the president next week. you don't vote on anything that donald trump is going to sign into law? even if he ag

do i stand with donald trump or do i stand with john lewis? i amtanding with john lewis. so representative, do you believe, then tharks t, that th president-elect will not be a legitimate president? >> i believe that donald trump won the electoral college, but i am not going to normalize his behavior. he's attacked gold star parents, veterans, latinos and now john lewis. so i am making the personal decision to not attend the inauguration. what makes america great is, unlike russia, we don't make people attend parades and ceremony. we hold people accountable. and that's what i am doing. i'm standing up to donald trump. >> you have heard the criticisms here coming from the right. and some might say and phillip, if you heard our conversation in the last block is intimating basically, as we look at martin luther king, an individual who so clearly and passionately said i embrace those that i do not agree with, and in that spirit might you also attend, then, the inauguration? >> can a person like trump, who has made a series of racist,big have a good idea? the answer is yes. bu

king said are you john lewis? are you the boy from troy? i said, dr. king, i'm dr. robert lewis. and he called me "the boy from troy." he told me, he said, john as you attempt to condition your efforts to enter troy state, your parents could lose their land, your home could be bombed or burned, something to happen to you. but if you want to go, we will support you. go back home and have a discussion with your mother and with your father. my mother was so afraid, my father was so afraid that they could lose the land, home could be burned or bombed so i continued to study in nashville. and it was in nashville, tennessee that dr. king would come and speak, rosa parks would come and speak, thurgood marshall would come and speak at fish university and others. and i got to know these individuals. and one day on fish university campus, congressman wilson walking across the campus and dr. deboys was on the calmmpus. being there inspired me to stand up, to speak up and to speak out with a group of students from fish university, tennessee state, from vanderbilt and peabody and skerritt and

john lewis is one of them. and it is not correct to say that donald trump was not insulting to him in his tweets. what about the all talk, no action, sad? this was an attack on his life, what he stands for, what he did for this country. and marching across that bridge, that is exactly -- >> he didn't attack -- >> he did. that was exactly what he did. >> insulting to his life and legacy. it's a further demonstration. you talk about, this is the week to do it. we have been saying that for weeks. for months. for a year-and-a-half. that when will the person who seeks to now and will be president act like a grownup and serious person, not always take the bait, show some restraint, show some dignity. there is no bottom to the depth that he will go to argue with anyone, and cause disdain. he -- donald trump was wrong. john lewis is an icon. he can say whatever he wants. and in the context of his comments about legitimacy, i would almost liken to -- you know in track and field there is something called wind assist. joh

john lewis, congressman lewis, saying the trump presidency is not legitimate? >> you know, i give him the respect he deserves as far as being a civil rights icon in this way he is hurting america. he is not helping the situation. if anything, especially on martin luther king day when we're talking about, taking away the message martin luther king, jr., talked about bringing us together to make things happen. donald trump has proven he will work for america and americans. instead of serving politicians and republican party or democrat party, he is here to serve the american people. a lot of people are getting behind it. 200 million americans quite frankly don't care what john lewis is doing, i'm one of them. we're here to get things done. that is what donald trump talked about all throughout his campaign is making america great again. john lewis needs to get on board or get it off the way. stuart: i have a new study, shows pay gap, pay gap between college graduates and everybody else has been the largest it has ever been. now do you think that is why blue-collar

john lewis is not all talk and no action. >> no, absolutely i would say john lewis has demonstrated that he is action. as i said, things get said on both sides in the heat of of emotion. people are literally probably dying. we need to talk about how do we feed people, how do we clothe people, how do we create the best education system? that's what we need to focus on. >> what do you think your father's message would be to president-elect trump? >> this is the final answer because i'm i'm going the reiterate what i just said. i think my father would be concerned about the fact there are 50 or 60 million people living in poverty and somehow we've got to create climate for all votes to be lifted. in america work a $20 trillion economy, it's insanity that we have poor people in this nation. that's unacceptable and when we work together, we know we can roll up our sleeves, there is nothing that we as americans can't do. thank you very much. >> martin luther king iii speaking out about this latest controversy surrounding representative john lewis, the civil rights leader the civil rights icon

lewis, i apologize. i want you there, i want as many of your colleagues there. >> what should donald trump apologize for? he was dually elected. >> if i can finish, would you let me finish? >> all right. >> what i wanted to say is he should make it clear he would ask john lewis to apologize for calling his election, which you correctly said was and is a legitimate -- harris: you think donald trump should do that? >> i don't know, donald trump would be in a stronger position if he made it clear he made a mistake. >> eight years ago there was a faction of the republican party who said that president obama was illegitimate. and now and we in the republican party condemned them. now eight years later we have john lewis saying this president is illegitimate and democrats aren't condemning. >> did you hear me? i said it was wrong. i'm a democrat, i'm talking about the real way to reconcile these issues because we're one nation, harris, and on inauguration, day, we all, black and white, democrat and republican,

fired back at lewis in a series of tweets. congress member lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district which is in horrible shape and falling apart. all talk, talk, talk. no action or results. sad. the controversial issue has both sides digging in. suzanne malveaux has more from washington. >> reporter: good morning. the war of words coming during the mlk weekend is troubling to the african-americans. trump is getting push back from the chief of staff reince priebus and vice president-elect mike pence. some giving lewis his props with the civil rights movement, but they are coming to trump's defense. they are opposed to the notion that trump is not winner of the election. despite that russia had a role in hacking it. >> donald trump upon the election fair and square. 30 out of three-fiftof 50 state georgia. more counties than any republican candidate since ronald reagan. and to hear john lewis, a man that i served with and i respect, to question the legitimacy of the election and say donald trump will not b

but first let's discuss this feud with congressman john lewis. cnn jessica schneider is live outside trump tower. jessica, what is the president-elect saying and why? >> reporter: well it was just before 8:00 this morning that the president-elect took to twitter as he often does firing back at those comments by congressman john lewis that happened yesterday -- that came out yesterday saying that congressman lewis does not view donald trump's presidency as legitimate. in part, because of those russian hacks during the election season. donald trump did fire back this morning in two different tweets. i'll read them for you. donald trump saying, congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district which is in horrible shape and falling apart not to mention crime infested rather than falsely complaining about the election results, all talk talk talk, no action or results. sad. of course, many would argue with that depiction of congressman john lewis, a renowned and respected civil rights leader who marched alongside martin

you attacked congressman lewis. this is a person who is the moral -- >> didn't attack -- >> the congress and a lot of people -- >> didn't attack -- >> in fact, gentlemen, i mean -- >> he didn't attack. he responded. >> the pastor mentioned in 2001 there was a boycotting of some members of congress for the inauguration of president george w. bush. this number is much higher with more than 20 now members of congress. and to darin's point, while it may have begun as a political argument, it became personal, pastor, would you agree, that it became personal when donald trump then would talk about the legacy of john lewis and -- >> he didn't talk about his legacy -- >> and criticize that he hasn't done enough. that is what has made this make a turn. and why so many more members of congress joined this boycott. >> he's not talking -- he's not talking about 50 years ago. he's talking about now. because you're a civil rights icon from the past doesn't immunize you from criticism going forward. he's talking about what's going

this fight against john lewis and donald trump was john lewis inappropriate to question the legitimacy and the response from trump? what is your take? >> look, congressman lewis' opinion. he's basing it on the fact as we all know from the intelligence community that there was russian interference in the american election so we can have a fight over whether that is true or not, but it's the president-elect's response that is what's outrageous here. at what point will president-elect trump actually act presidential? that's the moment for someone who is supposed to be the leader of the free world, incoming leader of the free world, to show some grace, and he didn't, and as you pointed out earlier in an earlier interview, to go after congressman lewis' district and not actually know what his district is, one, and specific, and then more generally, talking to an african-american member of congress about the way african-americans live, in such a generalized way, so many months after the election, so many months after the campaign, when everyone under the sun tried to get through to him that

lewis is a civil rights icon. he was one of the freedom riders, he was repeatedly beaten and arrest hood while protesting. seriously injured in selma, even captured in a photo. on the other side, though, people defending trump say lewis should respect the election result. that saying trump isn't legitimate, only causes a deeper divide in the weighing in on lewis' statement, but first, on trump's tweets. >> i was pretty like discussed. because it was wrong for him to attack an icon, who has been through the turmoil, who has experienced prejudice and injustice, you know, of white supremacy. i just pray that this election, not election, but this inauguration goes smoothly, hopefully we can give trump a chance. >> i so respect congressman lewis. i live in georgia. i have been aware of everything that he's done for years. no matter who our president is, they are our president. and we are to respect that office. >> as you can imagine, politicians have also been talking a lot about this. and from republican senator ben.

let me ask you this, does the president-elect contemplate reaching out to congressman lewis privately before tweeting? >> here's the thing, i think that, chuck, it's shocking that congressman lewis who is a civil rights icon and is a person who has championed voting rights would actually question the legitimacy of an election in this country in starting this firestorm. i mean, the truth is donald trump won 30 of 50 counties. he won 128 out of the 159 counties in georgia. he flipped 200 counties that obama won and had the biggest electoral landslide on our side of the aisle since ronald reagan. i mean, i get you want to go back and forth on tweets, but the truth is it's irresponsible for john lewis, historic as he is, to have done this. and the other piece of this, chuck, is that barack obama should step up as well and call it what it is. it's wrong what is happening. it's wrong how some of these democrats are treating president-elect trump. we have a great relationship with the white house. i talk to dennis mcdonogh every day. we had a great meeting with the cabinet members and the si

he also lashed out at john lewis tweeting, "congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime-infested, rather than falsely complaining about the election results. all talk, talk, talk, no actions or results. sad." that would be this john lewis who helped lead the 1963 march on washington and had his skull fractured by state troopers after marching into selma, alabama, in 1965 and who described trump as an illegitimate president. >> i don't see the president-elect as a legitimate president. i think the russians participated in having this man get elected and they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. i don't plan to attend the inauguration. it would be the first one that i miss since i've been in the congress. you cannot be at home with something that you feel is wrong. >> lewis' decision not to attend friday's inauguration and trump's response has spurred many of lewis' colleagues to follow suit. there are as of now at least 31 democratic lawmakers who have announced plans to b

john lewis is a partisan. i have a great deal of respect for him but he's a partisan and i disagree with him on issues. i should be able to honestly disagree with him and not have it come to be i have no appreciation for civil rights icon because of this, and i think that's the part that i think is sometimes unfair in this. >> let's turn to health care. i want you to hear from a kentucky resident who voted for donald trump and is now concerned about possibly losing obamacare. take a listen. >> you supported donald trump in this election. >> i did, i did. >> but if obamacare goes away? >> if obamacare goes away. >> going to be in a real depression. >> you want the jobs? >> yes. >> you want the health care that obama has provide? >> i do, and i know it sounds weird. >> i know i'm not telling you anything that you don't know, more than 400,000 great people in your commonwealth of kentucky have been able to get health insurance because of obamacare, whether through the medicaid expansion or subsidized private insu

trump responding to representative lewis. take us through the back and forth so far. >> good to be with you, richard. there's a protest happening just on the other side of the camera. it's loud here, and we've got a little snow falling. using the modern way of communicating, social media, and this other expression of free speech is happening right in front of donald trump's home here on fifth avenue. to have a figure like john lewis, who, of course, has tremendoushistory, one of the most recognized figures for helping to achieve a lot during the struggle in the 1950s, to have someone of his stature question the legitimacy of the result of the election is very different than just criticism of donald trump. it really bumps it up to another level. much like those who criticize barack obama claiming falsely that he might not have been a natural-born citizen and how that eroded people's confidence and was so emotional during the obama years. now for john lewis, who was reveered in the democratic party, a helg hillary rodham clinto

not about john lewis' history. and as cokie pointed out in materialier piece, this is a point in time now where donald trump needs to be reaching out to those who opposed him. >> sure. >> during the campaign this is a guy that tangled with a gold star family. with a war hero, john mccain. with a prominent judge of mexican extraction. >> and he won. >> he won nonetheless. is there any reason to think this one will be any different? >> the question is, what does he want to do as president? will he have the power to do that? look at the polling for donald trump coming in. just five days away. a 44% approval rating. that's 40 points below where barack obama was eight years ago. it's almost 20 pnt where george w. bush was coming out of a contested election. a president who is unpopular is not powerless by any means. he'll need support to get his agenda through. >> he does have both houses of congress. >> i want to go back to russia. because we can't forget that john lewis' argument for all of this -- questioning the leg

leaders like john lewis who carry on his legacy. may their example be our call to action. >>> congressman lewis has said this will be the first inauguration he's missed since being elected in 1986. that's actually not the case. he sat out george w. bush's swearing in. he lost the popular both. lewis said it would be hypocritical to attend because he didn't feel bush was the true elected president. >>> jeopardy may have tuned into this lewis controversy and the fact he would be making headlines. last night's category was this hero of civil rights marches was first elected to represent georgia's district in 198 6. none of the contestants got the answer of the question. the episode was recorded weeks ago. the answer was john lewis. >> jeopardy having psychic premonitions. >>> anduropean leaders responding. they complained allies are not paying their fair share and predicted countries would leave the european union. the french president said europe doesn't need outside advice to tell it what to do, and the german chancellor angela merke

i agree congressman lewis, i stand with john lewis. i think the entire nation should really understand what he said because he came out so strongly with this. and once again, i wouldn't have challenged the electoral college based on the you know, russian interference, we know it's public now, we just need a full public investigation. but i never -- >> which congressman you know is happening. >> congresswoman, you know that this bipartisan investigation, is indeed happening. is indeed happening and this committee has, this panel has subpoena power. final question to you, do you believe that all democrats then should boycott the inauguration? and if so, to what end? how does that ultimately help the american people who have been harmed by the divisiveness of the last eight years? >> no, poppy, think that everyone has to make their own decisions, base opd their decision-making process. some believe that they should attend, for their reasons and some believe they should not attend. again, i intend to attend the state of the union. you know

because john lewis said it. >> i don't think -- >> it helps john lewis. it does. >> really? >> i know people will be shocked. they are fund-raising off of it, right? it helps donald trump. people saying he is standing up and fighting political correctness. it helps the democrats and it helps the republicans. we are shocked, we are stunned! the press all weekend was shocked and stunned and deeply saddened about it. see, look. this reinforces everything we have ever said about donald trump. >> i think it's bad for us as it pertains to russia. >> i think it's bad for america and i wish donald trump could just let, if you were ever going to let something just go, this would have been a hell of a time to do it, harold ford. a hell of a time to do it. >> questioning the presidency. >> i conserved with john lewis as you did and i share the respect that manchin and others have for him and on a personal level, i think he said it wrong. i do they -- >> said what wrong? >> about the legitimacy of it. he would have to understand he was elected president. no questions about russians tamp

his name is dion lewis. brady dumped to lewis, 7-0 pass. later in the quarter after a field goal gets kickoff, avoids a tackle, 98 yards for second td of the game. 188 all purpose yards. 14-3 patriots. texans had a chance. late in the third brock osweiler's pass dropped and would have made it a four-point game but lewis had receiving touchdown, special teams touchdown and then rushing touchdown, 34-16, advanced to record, hosting chiefs or steelers next week. meanwhile the falcons got no respect but today took care of the seahawks in commanding fashion, matt ryan ripped seattle secondary apart for three td passes. started with 89 yard drive for 8 1/2 minutes. score. then falcons counter with a drive lasting seven minutes and tie at 7-7. and return negated gi holding penalty, wilson tripped by own lineman, sacked for safety and last time falcons trailed. 14 years to vaughn coleman and falcons heading to the championship with 46-20 victory. >> that's what happens this time of the year, games get tough and physical. our guys stepped up and kep

and lewis goes out and says that. and i'm certain that in his head, he's like, now, wait a minute, why is he saying this? and then lewis goes out and fundraises off of the statement. so both of them sort of have behaved very politically. i went out and talked to voters, both clinton and trump supporters, about this, about what lewis said, about trump's reaction. and even clinton supporters said, look, we don't like that he won, but he won. and it's legitimate. lewis shouldn't be saying that. he doesn't want to go, that's wrong. but to question the legitimacy is just stroking the fire. on the other hand, even trump supporters say, look, there's a way to handle this and there's a way not to handle it. they weren't thrilled with him sort of going in attack dog mode with lewis. i think people are looking for trump to do exactly what he has promised, and are hoping that maybe representatives like lewis think about the office that the inauguration is about, about swearing in the next presidency and not about the person who'

what lewis said just today, and mr. trump on another issue tonight, promising health care for everybody. >>> americans i don't think the injured. >>> the 747 slamming into a village. authorities on the possible cause tonight. king jr. today, the personal recordings tonight on her role and away from the spotlight, her one wish. >>> good evening, and it's great to have you with us here on this martin luther king jr. day, and we have a lot to get to. we begin with the major winter storm across more than a dozen states. coating highways in ice, turning driving deadly. this fiery crash after two trucks colliding on i-80 in nebraska. the drivers did survive. tonight as you can see, up to an inch of ice in oklahoma, bringing down tree limbs everywhere, and this evening, at least three reported tornadoes now. this one crossing i-45 near houston. 16 states are on alert from colorado to maine. a difficult night ahead for millions traveling this holiday. abc's alex perez is in chicago tonight. >> reporter: tonight, from colorado a

now and then. >> john lewis is a great moral, civil, and human rights leader. >> reporter: lewis has earned admiration on both sides of the aisle. the vice president-elect attended the 45th anniversary of the march on selma. mike pence calling him a legendary civil rights leader. cokie roberts counts herself an admirer and a friend. >> donald trump needs to spend time reaching out to the americans who did not support him, and an argument with john lewis is not the way to reach out. >> reporter: tomorrow, as a kickoff for inauguration week, donald trump was scheduled to tour the new smithsonian museum of african-american heritage, where several of the exhibits feature lewis prominently. you know, the very existence of that museum is a testament to the idea that john lewis is not just all talk. he fought hard for it to be built as a separate part of the smithsonian. and trump is also wrong in suggesting in his tweets that lewis' home district is crime infested, full of urban decay. georgia's fifth district is the headquarters for coca-cola and delta, plus it's got one of the busiest ai

this despite lewis' deep history in civil rights not to mention the fact that just last june, lewis arranged a sit-in right here on the topic of gun control. the issue of lewis' service, being attacked, bha has bewhat the response? is there a feeling the president-elect may have gone too far? >> there is certainly a feeling that donald trump is actually not familiar with john lewis' record in congress. so one approach to that we have seen on social media is people tweeting out some of the causes and policy proposals that the representative has put forward p in his 30 plus year career in congress. >> here we are days before the inauguration. there is a growing list, eugene, of democrats, who say they have no plans of even attending the inauguration. take a look here. you can see that we have the breakdown of the many different democrats that say they plan to skip it. this image shows trump's preinaugural approval ratings. it is the lowest compared to other presidents. you see donald trump at 44% compared to president obama, bush and clinton, much higher. here is the question, eugene. what dwo

so, again, you know, lewis's comments -- 50 years ago people thought john lewis was crazy. 50 years later we saw that john lewis was basically trying to get the constitution enforced. right? he was trying to bring african-americans firmly into the mainstream of american life. this is a very similar dynamic. we are in a situation now where somebody needs to speak truth to power, make the statements and create the space so we can have legitimate actual dialogue and figure out how to move forward. >> you mentioned birther itch. that was a punch in the gut for so many americans. if you look at his zbra he is essentially listening if you didn't accept my president why should i accept you. flipping it around, the backlash that steve harvey received for trying to have a seat at the table, he met with mr. trump on friday and the hate he has received from it sounds like his own community has been overwhelming for him. this is what he said on the radio. >> i have an obligation to take a seat at the table when invited. you know, change can only happen when we sit at the table. if we sit at the table
