One resident of Atlanta saw tweets by President-elect Donald Trump and proudly defended his hometown, deriding Trump for the content and timing of tweets about Rep. John Lewis.

“As someone who lives in [Lewis’s] 5th district, I don’t think #DJT has any idea what he’s talking about,” Houston Astros pitcher Collin McHugh tweeted. “And then doubling down by insulting the civil rights hero on #MLK wknd…wow #classy.”

Lewis, a respected civil rights leader who suffered a skull fracture during the march on Selma, Ala., in 1965, is the longtime congressman from Georgia’s fifth district, which includes most of Atlanta. Lewis, a Democrat who had supported Hillary Clinton for president, questioned the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency Friday because of alleged interference by Russia in the election.

“I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president,” he told NBC’s Chuck Todd, adding that he would not attend Trump’s Inauguration on Friday. “I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.” Calling it a “conspiracy,” Lewis added: “That’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open democratic process.”

Trump frequently pledged to revitalize neighborhoods that are predominantly black and was criticized for calling them “ghettos,” descriptions that brought protests from their residents. He wasn’t going to let Lewis’s comments pass, tweeting Saturday morning 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 election results.”

McHugh was particularly angered by the final sentence of the tweets, which came on the weekend before Monday’s national observance of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday.

“All talk, talk, talk,” Trump added, ” — no action or results. Sad!”

McHugh wasn’t the only one to defend Lewis and the racially and economically diverse district he represents.

This isn’t the first time Trump’s comments have led McHugh to speak out. In October, McHugh took Trump to task, disputing his dismissal of the “Access Hollywood” video as “locker room talk” in an Instagram post that contained a photo of the clubhouse coffee maker.

“I don’t like to comment on politics publicly. I never feel competent or knowledgeable enough to say something that a thousand more well-informed people haven’t already said. However, I feel the need to comment on the language that Donald Trump classified the other day as “locker room talk”, given my daily exposure to it.

“Have I heard comments like Trump’s (i.e. sexist, disrespectful, crude, sexually aggressive, egotistical, etc.) in a clubhouse? Yes. But I’ve also heard some of those same comments other places. Cafes, planes, the subway, walking down the street and even at the dinner table. To generalize his hateful language as “locker room talk” is incredibly offensive to me and the men I share a locker room with every day for 8 months a year. Men of conscience and integrity, who would never be caught dead talking about women in that way.”

I don't like to comment on politics publicly. I never feel competent or knowledgeable enough to say something that a thousand more well-informed people haven't already said. However, I feel the need to comment on the language that Donald Trump classified the other day as "locker room talk", given my daily exposure to it. Have I heard comments like Trump's (i.e. sexist, disrespectful, crude, sexually aggressive, egotistical, etc.) in a clubhouse? Yes. But I've also heard some of those same comments other places. Cafes, planes, the subway, walking down the street and even at the dinner table. To generalize his hateful language as "locker room talk" is incredibly offensive to me and the men I share a locker room with every day for 8 months a year. Men of conscience and integrity, who would never be caught dead talking about women in that way. You want to know what "locker room talk" sounds like from my first hand perspective? Baseball talk. Swinging, pitching, home runs, double plays, shifts. The rush of victory and the frustration of defeat. Family talk. Nap schedules for our kids. Loneliness of being on the road so much. Off-season family vacations. And most importantly, coffee talk! The best places to find quality #coldbrew. What's currently brewing on the #aeropress in the empty locker between me and Doug, affectionately known as #CafeStros? How strong do you need it today? Kid wouldn't sleep last night? I'll make it a little stronger for ya. Maybe Mr. Trump does talk like that in his country club locker room. Perhaps he's simply not privy to the kind of conversations that take place in other locker rooms. But as for me and my @astros team, our "locker room talk" sounds absolutely nothing like his. And I couldn't be more proud of that.

McHugh may not be comfortable expressing his political views, but he seems determined not to sit out the debate.
