Sorry, but King epitomizes the negative stereotypes of the Republicans in every regard except race.

The man is a convicted killer who has made a career of stealing.

He convinced Ali to settle a multi-million dollar debt while the man lay in a hospital expecting to die. He explained to Ali that, after his death, his family had no hope of winning any lawsuits.

He bribed boxing officials to fix rankings so fights between his fighters would be more profitable.

He has stolen from every boxer he has represented.

I am glad he doesn't represent the true face of our party because, if he did, I would have no choice but to find another party. But our embracing him allows the media to use him as the face of our party, which disgusts me.
