“Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!” Trump wrote Saturday evening.

The president-elect had fired back at Lewis in tweets early Saturday after the Democratic lawmaker said he didn't view Trump as a "legitimate president" and would skip his inauguration.

"John Lewis and his 'talk' have changed the world," Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) tweeted Saturday, joining other lawmakers criticizing Trump's comments and pointing to Lewis's history in the civil rights movement.
