Rep. John Lewis Calls For Students To “Get In Trouble” And “Get In The Way”…For The Country?!

Toward the end of his speech, he lamented the “mean spirit in America” and called on students to “Go out there, get in the way, get in trouble—good trouble, necessary trouble and make some noise. Our country needs you now more than ever before.”

Just like the annoyingly predictable Elizabeth Warren, Rep. John Lewis gave a commencement speech address on Saturday, allegedly pushing for unrest by telling the graduates to “get in the way” and “get in trouble” because the “country needs you now more than ever before.”

Lewis presented the address to the graduating students of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.

Lewis also talked about the value of civil disobedience. Yes, civil disobedience. He went on to brag about having been arrested by the police five times since being in Congress, then went into the topic of “comprehensive immigration reform.”

“And since I’ve been in Congress, arrested another five times. My last arrest, almost two years ago, and two other private citizens and eight Democratic members of Congress had a protest on the Capitol grounds, trying to get the speaker of the House to bring forth a comprehensive immigration reform bill…It doesn’t make sense for millions and millions of people, including little children, to be living in fear in the United States of America. Set people on the path to citizenship!”
