This lady has guts. And I admit, I never knew that Martin Luther King was a registered Republican.

I am not sure whether there is proof on MLK Jr. being registered either Republican or Democrat, however his father MLK Sr., who was a civil rights activist was a Republican. The vast majority of politically active Blacks until the 1960’s were Republicans. No surprise, as the GOP was the party of equal rights, while the ‘rats were the party of the KKK.

MLK was a flaming leftist, although I admire many of his achievements (March on Washington in particular). I know he was registered as a Republican, however.

MLK, Sr. was a Republican until 1960. There was no evidence Junior aligned himself with either party prior to that point, but from 1960 onwards, they both were clearly Democrats. I've had to debunk Ms. Rice's claim several times.
