MLK cheated on his wife with at least 40 women, probably fathered a child with a mistress, was intimately connected with communists, laughed as his friend raped a girl, started the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” regime and supported affirmative action. contra.substack.com/p/mlks-hideous…
Jesse Helms was a hero among Republicans for opposing the creation of the MLK Holiday. We should have a special day for him instead of King. nytimes.com/1983/10/04/us/…
“But the FBI”

Correct: one of the only really good things the FBI did was trying to expose MLK for who and what he really was.
MLK would side with today’s FBI against conservatives—he would totally support the crackdown on “white supremacist extremism.” He would absolutely be on BLM’s side. It’s an utter joke that conservatives hold him up as one of their own.
The entire conception of “MLK was a conservative” is based entirely on one single thing that he said that he didn’t even mean.
MLK took a seat on Planned Parenthood’s committee on the study of contraception. He was recommended to join the committee by sociology professor Walter Chivers. As with the FBI, the reality of his views on abortion are independent of the fiction of him as a Ted Cruz guy.
The FBI didn’t lie about King and nobody forced him to join this committee. These are the facts about his life and the reason why the narrative of him as a conservative or even a good person are all nonsense. onepeterfive.com/martin-luther-…
We are delivering Ted a ratio this evening with God and History on our side
Once again my assault on King has enraged people, so I am going to double down. Here are some other things you should know about the reverend: he didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and he was a plagiarist.
Here is a good summary of why "King's theology was in essential agreement" with liberalism and, by the standards of Christianity, he was a literal heretic. jamesattebury.wordpress.com/2017/01/21/the…
King was such a prolific plagiarist that even Wikipedia can't water it down! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lu…
Quote from the King Papers Project director at Stanford: "instances of textual appropriation can be seen in [MLK's] earliest extant writings as well as his dissertation. The pattern is also noticeable in his speeches and sermons throughout his career." web.archive.org/web/2011060210…
Everything you've been told about MLK is a lie. He was neither good nor great. And the reason he's untouchable is that King is at the center of the moral universe that justifies the liberal political order. You are not allowed to smash the statue of the deity.
Ted is getting crushed

Once more: King wasn’t a hero. I prefer Malcolm X.
The thing people get stuck on is this notion King was a flawed guy with a good vision. He wasn't and he didn't have that either.

David Azerrad convincingly drew a direct line from King to CRT in @ChroniclesMag recently. They are inexorably connected. chroniclesmagazine.org/web/from-mlk-t…
David Garrow in his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography states that King privately endorsed "democratic socialism" while making "it clear to close friends that economically speaking he considered himself what he termed a Marxist." lewrockwell.com/1991/02/lew-ro…
We are breaking the MLK conditioning this February.
If MLK were alive today, he'd be a regular on CNN and MSNBC. He would defend CRT. He would campaign against the right. In fact, he would literally just be Raphael Warnock, who is now the pastor of King's old Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
In a completely predictably turn of events the same Trump hardliner who defended Lindsey Graham (by attacking Tucker Carlson) because Trump endorsed him is also angry that I’m going after MLK because of Trump’s MLK boosterism lmao. These people are utterly brainwashed
Libs are mad at me for going after MLK because he’s their god while Trump hardliners are angry because Trump elevated MLK. Simply amazing. And I’m going to make them all angrier.
“King would have been anti-woke!”

In his Birmingham jail letter, MLK attacked white people for valuing “order” over what he considered “justice”—this was the proto-BLM argument, the precursor to shaming people for caring more about rioting than “justice for Floyd!”

Here’s your reminder that the obnoxious poison pill Tony Gonzales, who is now undermining populist immigration and defense policies, was endorsed by Trump over the correct candidate, Raul Reyes. texastribune.org/2020/07/03/ton…
If Dan Crenshaw is eyepatch McCain, Tony is Sombrero McCain.
“[Gonzales] will be a GREAT Congressman for Texas!” Trump tweeted in 2020. “A Navy veteran, he is Strong on the Economy, Life and the Second Amendment. We need him to defeat the Radical Left in November. Tony has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” texastribune.org/2020/07/03/ton…

78% of voters in Santos’ district want him to resign, including 71% of Republicans. 78% of his GOP constituents view him unfavorably. It's good these people didn't fall for the efforts to lionize George "I will always be an advocate for LGBTQ folks" Santos.scri.siena.edu/2023/01/31/ny-…
Say it with me: I will not fall for the psyop to make Santos seem cool. contra.substack.com/p/an-empty-sui…
I am not saying he should or will resign. I am saying that the efforts to make Santos seem like anything other than a grifter who is to the left on social issues has largely failed. We can be thankful for that.

Some people think Mitchell is a fraud. Maybe. But he’s also an original Trump supporter and the reaction to his breaking with Trump fits a pattern I’ve seen so far, with others, like Harmeet Dhillon.
Here’s a hit piece BuzzFeed did in 2016 on Mitchell, calling him one of Trump’s biggest social media boosters. Even if you think he’s a grifter, Mitchell probably got some more people to back Trump as a political influencer.
The reaction to him changing sides has been negative—just like when DeSantis said a nice word about Harmeet, who then became an evil crypto leftist. And when I pointed out Scott Presler wasn’t happy about Romney winning the RNC chairship, people called him irrelevant.

Trump literally can’t stop talking about DeSantis and covid. It’s obviously deflection because nothing’s more damning than Trump *attacking* Peter Navarro for criticizing Fauci when it mattered and Navarro later revealing that Trump refused to investigate Fauci and the Wuhan lab. ImageImageImageImage
Trump “wanted” to investigate Fauci so much that he allowed Larry Kudlow, who is now at Trump’s think tank, to talk him out of doing it because think of the bad press! Maggie Haberman would hate it!
I love the idea that DeSantis is running a secret shadow campaign to make Trump look bad. Actually Trump is making himself look bad by being obsessed with DeSantis. He trips over his feet every time he opens his mouth because of how horrible his own policies were.
