No offense, but the Kennedy’s were not exactly the exemplars of model godly, Christian conduct either...
And neither were many great people in History. Including Martin Luther King Jr’s namesake: Martin Luther of Germany. He was viciously anti-Semitic at times. (Among other weaknesses and character flaws.)
Blaming it all on Hoover or tampered recordings is not accurate. All has been well known for years (except for the King egging -on Pastor Rapist.)
King’s best friend and right-hand man defined with explicit details numerous MLK trysts and orgies. This was included in his CR book released in 1989, “When the Walls came Tumbling Down.” He was denounced for this and several other things he wrote negatively about. Like devoting an entire chapter on what and egotistical stooge Jesse Jackson was during the CR marches.
This excerpt is was written in 2014 ... It begins by condemning King’s plagiarized Doctoral Dissertation and other charges of plagiarism outlined in his speeches. Then it moves on to King’s sexual activities.
“The recordings, and the incidents they revealed, shocked the FBI. Many times, King recruited multiple women – who appear to have been a mix of groupies and prostitutes, and who may have been paid with SCLC money – for post-speech trysts that ranged from plain 1-on-1 encounters to orgies involving half a dozen people.
Several other clergymen in his entourage were typically present for these indiscretions, according to King’s closest friend Ralph Abernathy, who drew criticism for airing King’s dirty laundry in his 1989 memoirs. According to Abernathy, just about everybody attached to King believed in Christian moral precepts, but they had a hard time keeping to them. When King traveled to Oslo to receive the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, for example, two of his associates nearly got themselves kicked out of the hotel when staff caught them chasing nearly naked prostitutes through the halls.
King was especially fond of arranging sex with women he met at his speeches. According to one of his associates, both black and white women would pass King their phone numbers or hotel room keys minutes after meeting him. Nobody who knew him then seems to remember an occasion when he passed up such an invitation. These escapades eventually became common knowledge.
Interviewed in private years later, even Jackie Onassis admitted that Robert Kennedy had told her all about the FBI recordings, and that what he knew appalled her. Some anonymous person at the FBI even sent copies of the tapes to both King and his wife.
King allegedly brushed off the exposure with a remark about being surprised that they knew so much about him, while Scott later claimed that she couldn’t make out what she heard and ignored the whole thing. Years later, Scott told an interviewer that she never asked King about infidelity; she didn’t want to bother him over a thing like that, she said.”
