.@JoeBiden and @DrBiden: We are made in the image of God, and then there is John Lewis.

Full statement below --

.@JoeBiden & @DrBiden say they spoke with John Lewis a few days ago

"His voice still commanded respect and his laugh was still full of joy. Instead of answering our concerns for him, he asked about us. He asked us to stay focused on the work left undone to heal this nation."

.@JoeBiden & @DrBiden: John’s life reminds us that the most powerful symbol of what it means to be an American is what we do with the time we have to make real the promise of our nation – that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally.

.@JoeBiden & @DrBiden on @repjohnlewis: He taught us that while the journey toward equality is not easy, we must be unafraid and never cower and never, ever give up.
