Not even welcome

Interesting observation.

Just imagine Trump there. Trump who was sued along with his father for racial discrimination in housing.

The Justice Department sued Donald Trump, his father, Fred, and Trump Management in order to obtain a settlement in which Trump and his father would promise not to discriminate. The case eventually was settled two years later after Trump tried to countersue the Justice Department for $100 million for making false statements. Those allegations were dismissed by the court.

The lawsuit was based on evidence gathered by testers for the New York City Human Rights Division, which alleged that black people who went to Trump buildings were told there were no apartments available, while white people were offered units.

Just yesterday, he publicly announced he’s bringing back racial discrimination in housing.

So, yeah, his presence at John Lewis’s funeral would not have been welcome.
