Alveda King slams Obama’s political speech at Lewis funeral as ‘wordplay’ that takes nation back to segregated 60s

Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., slammed former President Barack Obama for the wordplay in his eulogy for Congressman John Lewis, saying he took the nation back to the segregated 60s.

While Obama couldn’t summon enough courage to speak President Trump’s name, there was no mistaking his criticism of the president in what sounded more like a stump speech than a eulogy.

As smug and arrogant as ever, not to mention divisive, the former president used the occasion to push the myth of voter suppression.

“Even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations, by targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws, and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the Postal Service in the run-up to an election that’s going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don’t get sick,” he proclaimed.

Obama is just an utter pig, a race baiting, race flaming pig just like his husband. This is exactly why the founding fathers did not want someone foreign born as POTUS, this pig cares about as much for this country as he care for dog sh— and he WAS foreign born. When your own grandma, brother and literary agent say you were born in Kenya, and you present a birth certificate that looks more computer generated than a Star Wars movie, I tend to side with the fact that you are foreign born.

She was on the button recognizing 0's BS.

She did refer to Lewis as "...a peaceful, nonviolent warrior...". He was, indeed, just that with MLK; however, as a politician he happily wore his $2000 suits while those in his district languished in poverty.

He also was hateful in his criticism of any significant Republican, especially Trump, invoking the "racist" often.

Yep, exactly! Every certificate back then put “Negro”, plus “African” does not denote race, it’s like putting “Italian”, they weren’t that ridiculously politically correct back then. And then the “date accepted” what kind of typewriter had a font like that back then?

But putting all that aside, why would his literary agent print that he was born in Kenya? It’s like me writing a book and my agent puts “born in China”. Why? The only reasonable explanation is because HE said he was born in Kenya. Think about it, if someone else told her he was born in Kenya, then where would that person get that info? It could only come from him

“”restrictive ID laws,””

What are the restrictive laws, jerk? Never any specifics - always generalities.

Did anyone hear Jason Chaffetz last night (hosting for Hannity) that obozo’s woman will be Biden’s VP pick? He said the person has already been vetted and asked the guests and they wouldn’t name one but he did. I can’t remember who the guests were who were reluctant to say!! He said the pick will be announced shortly....Time for US to take to the streets if that’s true!

True Americans are not racists but put American first. We are different colors made by God and our cultures are a bit different but love, trust and law abiding Americans are the same all over. Respect and right living are never wrong.

I did a semester at Atlanta Metropolitan college prior to Business school to get rid of a bunch of my pre-reqs (I was a history major in college and had not taken any business classes).

Alveda King was my prof for Econ 101. She’s a nice lady.
