prevnextI find President Trump’s use of my father’s image in his political ad beyond insulting and not reflective of #MLK’s commitment to creating the #BelovedCommunity. My father should not be used in ways strongly misaligned with his vision and values, @realDonaldTrump. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/7AwySnFFOw

My father was working for an America with leaders who have answered the call to conscience and compassionate action. He said, “We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity...” (2/3)

Who had “pisses off Jackie Robinson’s family” on Trump’s 2020 bingo card?

prevnextOf course the Trump Thugs would use unauthorized images of other people who are actually opposed to them.
Those criminals also play unauthorized music at their hate rallies.

Trump using Jackie Robinson and MLK in a campaign ad because they're Americans is the worst evolution of "I can't be racist, I have black friends" I've ever seen.

This is absolutely appalling! I wish that descendants of Jackie Robinson & Martin Luther King Jr would make a commercial that explains why they DO NOT want their loved ones images used in Trump's campaign! AMERICA NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU!!

To know that Trump used images of MLK & Jackie Robinson makes me sick to my stomach.
