US President-elect Donald Trump provoked fresh outrage by lashing out at a revered civil rights activist who challenged the legitimacy of his election win. 
Lewis, who is a congressman and a civil activist is the first leading Democrat to publicly question Trump’s right to govern. "I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president," he told NBC’s "Meet the Press" this week. 
The 76-year-old congressman from Georgia, seen by some as the moral conscience of the nation, will boycott Trump’s inauguration, the first he has missed since becoming a member of Congress three decades ago. 
"I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton," he said. 
Responding to that boycott and the legitimacy doubts, Trump commented saying that Lewis "should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!". 
Eight other Democratic congressmen announced their boycott Trump's inauguration for presidency, which is scheduled to take place next Friday in Washington.
