After the John Lewis flap is when he should visit.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly no longer expected to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The president-elect will no longer make the visit on Monday because of scheduling issues, ABC News reported, citing to transition officials.

He is instead expected to visit the museum sometime after he assumes office, the network reported.

On Saturday, ABC News reported the president-elect was expected to make a visit to the museum on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The reports come amid backlash from Democrats and some Republicans over Trump’s recent attacks on Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).In an interview last week, the civil rights icon said he didn’t think Trump was a “legitimate president,” pointing to the Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election.

    “Scheduling issues”

    Gee, do you suppose the “planned visit” was quickly added to his schedule by his handlers in an effort to diffuse his impulsive tweets about Lewis, to feign respect for MLK, and to demonstrate even the tiniest kernel of compassion for the African American community?

      yeah – exactly. Like Stacks of Manila Folders.

      It is sad to think, that some African Americans voted for him.

    Campaigning Klansman Donnie was denied ‘exclusive’ access. He still wants ‘those people’ removed prior to Trump showering the museum.

    Newest museum exhibit open for business! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/237f822d6bd12228d2d355762b61817a94d93d637d25ccdfeea7c119add38d33.jpg

      that was my first thought when i read the headline. i was certain that when he found out who Lewis was he wasn’t going to go and i’m glad.

        It does feel like “thank goodness he won’t be contaminating” the memory of MLK.

      Or Lewis and Clark.

    The person who stole the office due to his party destroying voting rights should never gain access to a museum on a holiday commemorating one of our iconic hero’s.

      i just read that it’s true, and i knew it, he didn’t know who Lewis was. Elliot also says that he was told that the exhibit he was to attend was to honor Lewis. LOL. what an idiot.

        Who in America doesn’t know who John Lewis is? I think rump is a Russian plant, anyone check his birth certificate?

    Like he’s going to understand what he sees there or even cares.

    But there might be mean ol’ protesters there! Dissent is not to be tolerated.

    Resistance is futile. And our country will be feudal.
