Tonight, president elect donald trump is feuding with civil rights icon, congressman john lewis. Trump tweeted about lewis after the congressman said he did not consider trump a legitimate president. Fox5 Lindsay Watts is live in northwest, with reaction, lindsey, this is getting a lot of attention. Reporter lauren, a loft of attention, also strong feelings on both sides of. This we have been talking to people here in d. C. Tonight. I want to start by showing you Donald Trumps tweets. He says congressman john lewis do spend more time on fixing and helping his district, in horrible shape and fall apart, not to mention crime infested, rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk. No action or result. Sad. Then later tonight, this. Congressman john lewis could finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner cities of the us. I can use all of the help i can get. In comes after lewis who represents georgia, said in a interview that he doesnt feel trump is a legitimate president because of the russian hacking. He also says he will not attends trumps inch ago ration next week. All of this playing out on day when we saw hundreds of civil rights protesters here in the district, of course, the weekend before Martin Luther king day, many defending lewis say trump was out of line specially in saying that lewis is all talk no action. Lewis is a civil rights icon. He was one of the freedom riders, waist repeatedly beaten and arrest the while protesting, seriously injured marching, captured in a photo. On the other side, though, people defending trump say lewis should respect the election ruts. That isnt legitimate only causes a deeper divide in the country. In d. C. Tonight, people are weighing in on lewis statements, but first, on trumps tweets. I was pretty like discussed, because it was wrong for him to civil rights icon who has been through the turmoil, and who hear experienced the prejudice and injustice of white supremacy. I pray this inauguration goes smoothly, and hopefully we can give trump a chance. I saw respect congressman lewis. I live in georgia. I have been aware of everything that hes done for years. No matter who our president is, they are our president , and we are to respect that office. Reporter as you can imagine, politicians have been talking a lot about this today. And i want to share just one response from senator a republican from nebraska, and he directly responds to trumps tweets saying john lewis and his quote talk have changed the worlds. But s today. He says, to john lewis, one of my heroes, please come to the inauguration, it isnt about a man, it is a celebration of peaceful transfer of power. Back here live, now, you may know that john lewis was instrumental in getting this museum built. The National Museum of Natural Museum and culture. There are reports tonight that donald trump plans to visit this Museum Monday for mlk day. We reached out to Trump Transition Team to try to verify. That will i havent heard anything back tonight. But of course we will continue to keep you posted on the president elect possible visit here. Live in northwest, lindsey watts, fox5 local news.

Were celebrating life of Martin Luther king, jr. , with special performance live from the national cathedral. Monday on fox news morning. The house of representatives friday passed a controversial budget resolution, that paves the way for the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care act. As foxs Kristin Fisher tells us, this raises big question when it comes to the medical recoverage from more than 20 million americans. Republicans are calling this move a critical first step to repealing and replacing obamacare watch theyve done, theyve essentially made any future legislation about the Affordable Care act immune to democratic filibuster in the senate. Now shall thats critical, because it takes 60 votes to end filibusters and republicans only have 52 seats in the senate. When the house voted yesterday, it was a near party line vote, 227 to 198, only nine House Republicans voted against this budget measure, while no democrats voted for it. Since the Senate Passed the same measure a day earlier, this clears the way for vote to repeal obamacare once president elect trump takes office. Every mandate, every regulation, every single tax, has to go, then well have a chance to have the market work, and thats part of the replacement simply getting rid of the repeal, getting rid of obamacare with repeal so you can have a market work and bring down affordable healthcare to the families across the country. Yesterdays vote also puts pressure on republicans to figure out what theyre going to replace the Affordable Care act with. For more than six year weve bee waiting for credible republican Healthcare Plan and none has been forthcoming. All you have is smoke and mirrors and the American People are getting ready to get screwed. But House Republicans argue the American People voted, and they voted to get rid of obamacare. Congress is now on track to start doing just that. Less than a week before president obama leaves office, but the big question remains. Watch will they replace it with . In washington, Kristin Fisher, fox news. Meanwhile, both student and Small Businesses in the dc area are trying to encourage unity ahead of the inauguration. Student at stewart Hodgkins Middle School in the northeast created signs as part of project titled the hill united. Yesterday the student walked around the nearby businesses to put up signs, several along eighth street agreed help out with the message of unity. The National Portrait gallery unveiled new picture of president elect donald trump, take never 1989 and shows trump wearing a suit and toss ago apple into the air. Fox5 photo journalist jack frame spoke with the Senior Historian david ward. Reporter this is a portrait of mr. Trump as a businessman, in the late 1980s. Hes toss ago apple, big apple, reference to new york renaissance of the 80s, it the not a political portrait. Had nothing to do with putting it up or acquiring it, but obviously likes the image, he used as a cover image for his second book. Im speaking for michael ryan the photographer, he was apparently very easy subject. Mr. Obrien button his way over from his studio bought the apple that he was trying to figure out how to do something that was a little board room portrait. So he went to his local grocery store, bought a box, couple of apples, took them over and asked mr. Trump to either hold it or toss it, they ended up using this one in which he tosses the apple into the air, and it is kind of surreal elevation.
