Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had some sharp words Monday for the senators protecting the filibuster amid the voting rights debate, suggesting they are debasing the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. just as the country is honoring the civil rights legend.

"If you really, truly want to honor Dr. King, don't dishonor him by using a congressional custom as an excuse for protecting our democracy," Pelosi said during a voting rights event at Washington's Union Station on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

I guess blacks just like being exploited and used.
They sure never seem to push back when they are called too stupid to have an I.D., too stupid to get in the internet and too stupid to recognize when Pelosi is using MLK to push a federal take-over of elections.

Where are the offended blacks who object to being pushed out front as helpless morons and degenerate mental midgets?

Imagine being so detached from reality to think that the best way to honor the legacy of MLK is to silence the voice of the minority and codify mob rule.

You can see the power slipping away from these commie fingers..that is why they are SO upset..they can feel it, slowly slowly, minute by minute, hour by hour, going away and they know it

The voting bill has NOTHING to do with MLK’s legacy. It has to do with enabling massive voter fraud and winning elections like the American Communists that they are.

That is becoming VERY obvious.

It makes me ill to think that brave men died on a beach in Normandy so that selfish scum like Pelosi could give it all away.

“No progress is possible until conservatives stop saying obvious lies about Martin Luther King. Yes, obviously he would support Critical Race Theory. Yes, he wanted race preferences. Yes, he was a socialist. He took “colorblind” rhetoric about as seriously as his marital vows.”
