Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) on Monday blasted comments from presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in which he defended the government’s surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr.

“The racist campaign to spy on Martin Luther King, Jr in an effort to discredit the civil rights movement and stifle America’s march toward racial equality is indefensible,” Thompson, the former chair of the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, said in a statement first given to The Hill.

Thompson is a moron

I've said the same many times. Thompson is a moron and so, of course, are the cretins who voted for him.

2027 is the year that the judge in the 1970’s designated for release of all FBI files on MLK.

May they get out there and not be buried.

I’ve had friends from other races since I was about 3 feet tall!

When MLK said to judge by the content of character not by color of skin I thought duh! Who wouldn’t do that?

At this time I became friends with the daughter of the first black family that moved into our town.

Not long after that someone threw a Molotov cocktail into their front living window.

That’s when I started to understand the sickness of racism.

Thompson wants to white wash the history of MLK. Irony.
