VICTORY TOURS, COMPARE AND CONTRAST:

I REMEMBER WHEN TOSSING AROUND POLITICIZED CHARGES OF TREASON WAS BEYOND THE PALE OF DECENCY: Democrats already accusing Trump of “treason” a month before he takes office.

UPDATE: Kellyanne Conway explains why they’re losing it.

Dude's been doing stupid stuff for years but this weekend it appears

he's blownup the interwebs. 

“Lewis questioned the validity of the previous Republican president, George W. Bush, on multiple occasions, as well. He told the Wall Street Journal ‘some of us think [Al Gore] won last time’ during an interview in 2001, and also supported the idea of impeaching Bush in 2005 over the NSA’s warrantless surveillance activity.”

Regarding that last item, “Lewis was Once Erroneously Placed on No-Fly List He Wants to Use to Deny Due Process,” PJM noted last year, when Lewis was part of the Democrats’ Congressional “sit-in.”

And as Glenn noted in 2010, “CORRECTING THE NEW YORK TIMES: Congressman John Lewis was NOT ‘Showered With Hateful Epithets Outside the Capitol’ Last March. And Andrew Breitbart has the video, and the unclaimed $100K reward, to prove it.”

Two years later, Lewis further besmirched his civil rights-era credibility by asking delegates at the Democratic National Convention “whether they want to go back to a society where blacks were beaten, presumably by voting for Mitt Romney,” Eliana Johnson wrote at NRO.

In the prior month that year, Joe Biden shouted to a group of black Democratic constituents that Republicans such as Romney are “going to put y’all back in chains.”

And Democrats wonder how Trump flourished last year.

FLASHBACK: JOHN LEWIS (D-GA) COMPARES JOHN McCAIN AND SARAH PALIN TO GEORGE WALLACE (D-AL).

Is there any Republican president or presidential candidate Lewis hasn’t cried wolf over?

Related: “Lewis is invariably described as a ‘civil rights icon,’ but the man is an utter fraud. He has been coasting on his 50-year-old reputation for decades,” John Hinderaker writes today at Power Line. “There is no reason to treat John Lewis with kid gloves, and Donald Trump doesn’t do so. This morning he used his favorite medium to respond to Lewis’s slanders…Trump could have been a lot harsher,” he adds, after linking to Trump’s tweets.

Although, I dunno, this one’s pretty good, too:

And a couple quick takes:

HOW DEMOCRATS ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET FOR HACKERS. “NOTE TO MR. PODESTA: Using ‘P@ssw0rd’ for your password is not really a password.”

WHAT EVERYONE WANTS: A candle in “Monkey Farts” scent.
