In a series of tweets Saturday, the president-elect said Lewis should focus on his \u201ccrime-infested district\u201d instead.
\u201cCongressman John 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 \u2013 no action or results. Sad!\u201d

\u201cI believe in forgiveness, I believe in trying to work with people, but it would be hard \u2014 it would be very difficult,\u201d Lewis said Friday. \u201cI don\u2019t see the president-elect as a legitimate president\u201d
WATCH:
When asked why he didn\u2019t think Trump was legitimate, Lewis said \u201cthe Russians participating in helping this man get elected\u201d and \u201chow he destroyed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.\u201d
\u201cI think there was a conspiracy on part of the Russians and others that helped him get elected. That\u2019s not right and that\u2019s not fair.\u201d
