Cuz he is getting older and shot himself in the foot doing a stupid interview with the New York Times and saying he doesn’t know why the term white supremacy is offensive. Not a good idea unless you are an excellent debater. This got all twisted and he got labeled a racist. He lost his committee seats. Don’t you all remember?
[Cuz he is getting older and shot himself in the foot doing a stupid interview with the New York Times and saying he doesnt know why the term white supremacy is offensive. ]
Taken out of context by the NYT just like the Charlottesville story about Trump. King is not a racist nor does he make racist remarks. La Raza and MALDEF call King a racist. So does the SPLC.
The GOPe didnt defend King. Instead they willingly bought the NYT line and disciplined King by taking him off all the committees hence branding him as a racist. Hard to get the nomination after that.
....shot himself in the foot doing a stupid interview with the New York Times and saying he doesnt know why the term white supremacy is offensive...
Thats NOT what he said. Read the actual letter in full context, then come back and tell the truth.
