A note to politicians: Please respect MLK's legacy by keeping his name out of your mouth.
people from all around this “great” nation gather together to honor a civil rights leader who organized for racial equality and economic justice, and when politicians disrespect and contort the legacy of a brilliant man and radical leader to serve their own agenda.
This year, the most notable figure to participate in this hallowed political tradition was White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway:I tried not to quote the whole video, but it’s all so awful I couldn’t even choose a part to highlight: “Well I can tell you the President... agrees with many of the things that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for, and agreed with for many years, including unity, and equality. And he’s not the one trying to tear the country apart through an impeachment process and a lack of substance that really is very shameful at this point.”
Oh my, you might ask yourself, is she trying to make a question about Martin Luther King Jr. into a defense of Trump? Yes, yes she is.“I’ve held my opinion on it for a very long time, but when you see the articles of impeachment that came out, I don’t think it was within Dr. King’s vision to have Americans dragged through a process where the president is not going to be removed from office, is not being charged with bribery, extortion, high crimes, or misdemeanors.
