Yes, King was a communist. He was subjected to surveillance by J. Edgar Hoover because of his communist associations, and his secret funding sources. That’s number One.
Number 2: is that King was also surveilled/wiretapped and his rooms were bugged, actively, under orders of JFK and Robert Kennedy (the president’s nepotistic appointed Attorney General, was his own brother- never, ever should have happened). RFK continued the spying on King, and provided the summaries and results to LBJ— who was even more manipulative on the “black vote”.
More proof of just how disingenuous the demonrat party (which to this day says JFK was a “saint”— he wasn’t he was a rich drug addicted, sex addicted brat son of Irish Boston Mafia. And Robert- was a true creep of a person, and naturally LBJ hated both of them— from a Texas “religious” point of view, but mostly from one of the different “Gangs” within the dem party. Gangs that are still present. Never forget that the “catholic” kennedy dynasty, Teddy in particular, sponsored obamaumao (an obvious avowed Marxist and liberation theology communist) over any other candidate for president. Just as Teddy hated Jimmah Cahtah (which, aside from Cahtah’s idiocy on human nature and his hatred of Israel) and Cahtah hated Teddy, since he had to pay off Teddy’s campaign debts (as if Teddy couldn’t have done so on his own), so Cahtah’s name could be placed as the Candidate of the DNC. Lovely group of thugs, demonrats are— to the core, ugly people. Mobsters love them.
Yeah, that’s what J. Edgar Hoover the homo king of blackmail claimed.
