Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), in an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, said watching news footage of the protests in Ferguson, Mo., reminded him of “Baghdad or some other war-torn zone.”

“When I was watching the film footage coming out of Ferguson, it looked like it was in Baghdad or some other war-torn zone. Ferguson is a part of the United States of America. It’s not China. It’s not Russia. It’s not the Congo. It’s America. People have a right to protest. People have a right to engage in peaceful, nonviolent action. And the press have a right to cover what is going on,” said Lewis.
