BLM’s hero is fugitive cop-killer Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur. In 2011, Obama brought to the White House the rapper Common, whose “Song for Assata,” released in 2000, portrayed Chesimard as a victim of police violence.

All things considered, the composite character president has more esteem for the violent radicals who mocked King than the non-violent leader who held “profound faith in our Nation’s promise.” Consider also the current White House occupant.

Sen. Joe Biden was a big fan of Sen. Robert C. Byrd, the former Ku Klux Klansman who voted against Thurgood Marshall and took part in the “high-tech lynching” of Clarence Thomas. Biden claimed Byrd “elevated the Senate” and the Delaware Democrat had no problem working with segregationist southern Democrats James Eastland and Herman Talmadge.

Last year at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, in a speech of 2,794 words, Biden mentioned King 19 times but said “I” a full 50 times. Joe reports, you decide.
