Please add “sodomy” to your list. Also, given MLK’s a) plagiarism of his doctoral thesis b) known associations with commies and comsymps and c) serial inability to remain faithful to his wife - I wouldn’t say he’s the best poster boy for the Republican Party.
The FBI files about MLK’s sex life are sealed by a federal judge until 2027 but liberal author Taylor Branch got some Naderite help to pick up FBI files on the surveillance of MLK’s lawyer in 1963.
That’s when the FBI found out according to the files that MLK had women other than his wife.
Associates of MLK told Branch he was remorseful about his “sin” but that King visited quite a few mistresses in New York right before the famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
Most of the Charges against King have been “discovered” By Democrats and Even Coretta Scott King herself or those working for her.
For instance the Plagiarism King is accused of, uncovered by a team reviewing and sorting King’s papers for Coretta Scott King.
The stories of adultery leaked by RFK’s Justice department and the FBI.
The takeover of the republican lead civil rights movement by the socialists in the democrat party is a textbook case of how the best of men can be forced to do turn their backs on their own beliefs if you play dirty enough.
People forget that the Republican Party was pretty leftist in a lot of respects back in those days. In New York, people like Nelson Rockefeller and John Lindsey were high-profile Republicans who weren’t conservative in any sense of the term.
