Historian blisters Mike Pence for comparing Trump to MLK:
A perversion that flies in the face of his memory
Princeton historian Julian Zelizer on Monday smacked down Vice President Mike Pence for comparing President Donald Trump favorably with civil rights icon Martin Luther King.
After watching a clip of Pence quoting MLK and comparing his push for civil rights to Trumps push for a border wall, Zelizer said that it was a perversion of Kings legacy to link him in any way to Trump.
The policies of this administration, from the border wall to voting rights restrictions, are antithetical to everything that Martin Luther King fought for, he said. So having Vice President Pence invoke Martin Luther King, for this deal or for anything else, really flies in the face of his memory.
During his Sunday interview on CBS, Pence said that Trumps call for a border wall was as inspiring to Americans as MLKs call for civil rights.
