[See NewsBusters for more.] After former President Obama gave a partisan eulogy at John Lewis' funeral on Thursday where he compared President Trump and federal law enforcement to George Wallace and called for the end of the filibuster, among other things, the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart praised him for telling Americans what they can do to honor Lewis and the country.

Capehart praised Obama for, "specifics to the nation about what could be done to not only honor this great man, this great American, and as Jon Meacham has so wonderfully said every time he's been on television, this American saint."
