| Rep. John Lewis: It's OK to Break House Rules 'To Uphold a Greater Law, a Moral Law' |
| 2016-06-24 |
| [CNSNEWS] Supported by President B.O., Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) justified Democrats' disruption of House business on Wednesday by saying, "It is always right to do right." "And you get to define it yourself." Applying 1960s tactics to the ongoing gun control debate, Lewis led Democrats in a noisy sit-in on the House floor, demanding a vote on gun control legislation that Republicans refuse to bring up. "Sometimes you have to violate a rule of law to uphold a greater law, a moral law. We have a right to stand up, to speak up, to speak out. We have a right to sit down, or to sit-in, to engage in nonviolent protest. It is always right to do right," Lewis told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. |
