Since some seem to not understand the point of this post: I believe it's important we know the drivel the Republicans are throwing at their cult members. Misusing MLK is becoming more prevalent.

8. Spread the word, hard-right conservatives believe blacks are systematically oppresed...

...and war and economic policies go hand in hand with Racism, which is a world wide problem.

[calimary]

9. WHY is an idiot mercenary reality-denying outlet like this even allowed to exist???

Dear God do we need the Fairness Doctrine back. AND the Equal Time provisions. And then some!

10. Wow. Stupidity that makes J Edgar Hoover spin in his grave.

"If Martin Luther King Jr. still lived, he’d probably tell people to join unions.

King understood racial equality was inextricably linked to economics. He asked, “What good does it do to be able to eat at a lunch counter if you can’t buy a hamburger?”

Those disadvantages have persisted. Today, for instance, the wealth of the average white family is more than 20 times that of a black one.

King’s solution was unionism.

In 1961, King spoke before the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest and most powerful labor organization, to explain why he felt unions were essential to civil rights progress.

“Negroes are almost entirely a working people,” he said. “Our needs are identical with labor’s needs – decent wages, fair working conditions, livable housing, old age security, health and welfare measures, conditions in which families can grow, have education for their children and respect in the community.”"

11. I can play this game

If Reagan were alive today he would be a hard-core socialist.
Fun game - you don’t have to offer any facts or arguments to back up your silly statements.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. Yeah right, ladies....What are you smoking?

MLK would be AGAINST expanding Voting and Civil rights.

[brush]

20. Those two pathetic sillies are just there to get paid. Who knows if the believe that crappola.

They still should be ashamed though as there are other jobs out there where ya don't have to sell your integrity...especially being POCs.

[PortTack]

[GoodRaisin]

16. And they call that drivel "news"?

How do they get away with that?

[samsingh]

17. I think if reagan was alive he would be a liberal and if hitler was alive he's be a repug

[Midnight Writer]

18. If Jesus were here today, he would be a liberal and conservatives would crucify him.

[alphafemale]

19. Why aren't leaders who worked with him and still alive hard right conservative?

Why is Senator Warnock who is also now pastor of his church not hard right conservative?

[orwell]

21. But he's not...

...'cause you shot him.

[ck4829]

23. MLK? The man called a "communist terrorist" when he was alive?

[Under The Radar]

24. How much are they paying these kids to say these things?

This girl is obviously had an education and knows the battles that MLK fought for and sacrificed his life for.
She is also dark skinned and has faced discrimination in her life and if an OAN employee she still faces that discrimination each day.

[Liberal In Texas]

25. OAN is a Russian propaganda outlet. n/t

27. Welcome to another episode of "Dead people explain current issues to you"!

Our first guest, Edward Jenner, explains why we should never trust a vaccine

Next, we learn why Frederick Douglass, is angry at Black Lives Matter activists

Then we hear Charles Darwin denounce schools that teach the theory of evolution

And finally, Franklin Roosevelt warns us about the communist menace of Social Security
