Dr. Bernice King, the daughter of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., has reacted to a post purportedly endorsing Donald Trump that imitates her late father.
The video that infuriated Dr King was reportedly posted by a random supporter of Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) fan base.
Dr. Bernice, also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, asked representatives of the MAGA Resource team to delete the video.
“It’s vile, fake, irresponsible, and not at all reflective of what my father would say… And you gave no thought to our family,” she said in a post on X.
According to sources, the video was subsequently deleted, but personnel were unable to establish if was produced and approved by Donald Trump’s official campaign team.
