The Dworkin Report - Trump's Spin Machine Fails Miserably, Epstein Haunts, and More Great News

More than 15 years ago, I headed out to a nonprofit event in DC. It wasn’t supposed to be anything special. Once I got in, I bumped into different people I’d worked with over the years, and had the usual small talk. No big deal.

Then I turned to my left, and saw someone I’d never met before—John Lewis.

I stood there and tried to play it cool, just sort of hanging back for a minute while he chatted with other attendees. And no joke, I felt like Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live when I said: “Wow, the spread here’s pretty great. You’re John Lewis.” He cracked a slight smile, nodded, and it led to an unforgettable conversation for me.

I got to see him at a few other events before he passed. His speeches were always beyond inspirational. That’s why it warmed my heart to see so many folks gather yesterday to honor him, while protesting against the Trump regime.
