Kevin McCarthy Quoted MLK. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez And Bernice King Had Some Blunt Advice.

Bernice King led the criticism of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy after the California Republican cited her father Martin Luther King Jr. to attack the teaching of critical race theory.

McCarthy on Monday joined conservatives misrepresenting critical race theory, claiming it “goes against everything Martin Luther King has ever told us.” He also accused “the Left” of “trying to take America backward.”

Bernice King, the civil rights leader’s youngest daughter, encouraged McCarthy to “study my father’s teachings & words well beyond the last lines of ‘I Have A Dream.’”

“This nation has yet to firmly commit to the intensive, multi-faceted work of eradicating racism against Black people,” King added. “You should help with that.”

1. Oh, can't believe how clueless that man is. He really stepped in it.

Blacksplaining never works for white men who have a racist agenda.

2. "... to "study my father's teachings & words well beyond the last lines of 'I Have A Dream.'""

That one line of that one speech is all a lot of people know about the writings of MLK, Jr..

That's it.

And I'll wager not because they've read the entire speech either but because of the entire footage of that speech, that is the most played and most quoted few seconds - "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

McCarthy didn't learn anything from King. As evidenced by the very words coming out of McCarthy's mouth.
