New Post C9-2: Legitimacy of President Elect Trump?

FoxNews wrote on Saturday, January 14 about another one of President-Elect Donald Trump's tweets. This time the tweet was directed towards Georgia's Representative John Lewis. Lewis was a leader in the civil rights movement and also participated in the "Bloody Sunday" march from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama. Lewis claims that Trump is not a legitimate president and has decided to boycott the inauguration. The President-Elect responded by tweeting that Representative Lewis should focus on correcting his violence district than falsely accusing the election. Many democrats and civilians from the district tweeted pictures of the fifth district and claimed that they were proud the be living in the fifth. Once again it is so surprising how only 7% of Americans on twitter can make a discussion appear in the news headlines. I have heard that many other Democrats are to boycott Trump's inauguration with Lewis. This makes me wonder why they would do this. Constituents are mad at their representatives because it shows that democrats are not willing to work together and this could cost members of congress their seats. The GOP already controls both the House and the Senate and for Democrats to be questioning the legitimacy of the new president can't be helping all that much.
