jeffrey lord, a major trump supporter, equated trump with mlk when it comes to healthcare. the response from a black co-host was priceless.
"Jeffrey, you do understand that Dr. King was marching for civil rights because people that looked like me were being beaten. Dogs were being sicked on them. Basic human rights were being withheld from these people merely because the color of their skin. So let's not equate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner, to the vagina-grabbing President Donald Trump." - Symone Sanders
you can't make this shit up.

Wow, that was a stupid and ignorant thing to say on television. -Kellyanne Conway
Huhwhatcrazy
Trump is opposite. Access to healthcare is the number one human right, MLK fought for human rights

This guys was CNN's Golden Boy, singing the praises of Trump as the new Regan throughout the election. He's a scumbag, for sure.

If you watch the source, shit is actually worse than it sounds.

he was making a universal statement saying he loves everyone basically but said it that he loves the poorly educated and the educated

What an idiot.
CptRobotNinja
Now now lets not be hasty. He could actually be evil!
thefeev
lol, the video is priceless... and the host in the background saying 'oh boy' right at the end is the best!
macstrat
He lives about 20 minutes from me. When people find out, property values drop.
brainstream
The stuff he came up with during the actual campaign was sooo cringeworthy as well.

At first I thought he said "Martin Luther", and I was equally confused...

Wtf America what are you actually doing!? What's going on have we woke up to Opposite Day Every Day or what!?

Can you convince your country to bomb us back to the stone age, this society has completely failed.
SexDungeonsandDragons
Exactly alike, in that someone who disagrees with him is probably going to shoot him.

Fingers crossed.

I hate Jeffrey Lord so much that my hatred is gaining sentience and manifesting physical form.
BrownskinOriental
He gets paid to fight the left by playing a right wing nutjob though on the shows; him and the blonde lady. Ratings man ratings.
Tomadzo
Jeff Lord is just an idiot. No one respects what he says. He is literally the pundit that says shit to get paid
ellargo11
makes sense. he is to Healthcare what MLK was to Jim Crowe laws.

Is it just me or does he look like he'd suck a horses dick just for the thrill????

Explain, please.

MLK went to Germany and told Mr. Hitler that he has to tear down this Holocaust Centers, according to the Spicer History book Vol. III.

Try being a not fucking idiot that lives in the middle of little Texas California. Everyone here would suck Trumps dick if it was 1/2

Have you tried living here??? This shit is fucking terrifying.....that fact that these people are the one's with power and money....
cleverbeans
I did try living there for 6 years. We fled as soon as we could, me and my whole family. I couldn't believe the poverty and violence.

Jeffrey Lord saying "hold my beer" to Pepsi, United, and Spicer all at the same time.
dontrike
More like "hold my keg" because that's a level of dumb that only he first discovered.
Fuzzlebutt
Pepsi: 'Whoops we offended everyone" United: "Hold my Beer" Spicer: "LEEERRROOOYYYY" Jeffery Lord: "fuckit I'm taking a shit RIGHT here."

This President Andrew Jackson looking motherfucker didn't want to be left out of the ignorance parade.

They republican from NC that said Lincoln was basically hitler wins I think
TheDeanofLean
I saw that today too. wtf? Suspending habeas corpus but saving the Union is not equal to Hitler killing millions.
Jayhawk92
What did Pepsi do?
Kangarou
Ran an out-of-touch ad as if their soda could stop protests/violence.
crashmcleroy
Ended all wars ever with a can of Pepsi
prochoicepope
I don't know, Spicer still takes the cake in my opinion
thelankyyankee
For the Press Secretary, he is not very well spoken, it's baffling.
Jetlagged
Yeah, but did Hitler ever stoop down so low as to knock a paying passengers teeth out?

cleverbeans
No he was just completely ignorant of public perception because he's been so rife with nepotism groupthink has estranged him from reason.
Fuzzlebutt
He didn't think before speaking, as is the common theme with this current administration.
Fuzzlebutt
Yeah but this guy had to actually thought before saying what he said. So it's like, not sure whose worse.
GoshNotMe
He should take a Pepsi. Solves everything.

Fuck Jeffrey Lord.
EzraFell
I hope not. Do you want him to reproduce?
iamthisguy247
I feel like its kind of a cheap move by CNN for having him on so much. Often he's the only republican on a panel and makes them ALL look bad
labyrinthconvention
I understand your point. His viewpoints contribute nothing constructive to the discussion and are so silly that someone else has to step1/2
labyrinthconvention
in and say, 'no, that's really really silly and wrong, here's why.' I don't understand why he's on CNN.
iamthisguy247
I think it's part of the show, he says dumb things that anger you, but then you keep watching to see him put in his place.
CPatricoo
Because theyre bad. You cant be a fanatic suppprter without looking like you completely abandoned any ideological ground.
iamthisguy247
I think you could have a more logical, intelligent representative. It's not like all the liberal panel members they use are moron fanatics.
cleverbeans
If they had a more logical, intelligent representative don't you think they'd have run them as a candidate for president?
CPatricoo
The liberal panelists have histories or held major positions from experience. I cant think of the Repub media reps that arent talking heads.
IronicUsername
So, an accurate representation?
iamthatonefriend
As somebody who thinks he's republican, how dare you say all of us republicans are this stupid!?
themexicanwave
Anyone who voted for Trump IS this stupid.
iamthatonefriend
Good thing I didn't vote... dodged a bullet there, now since I'm not stupid I can remain outside the influence of..... oh wait. He won still
PandaPlop
If you can name one sacrifice Trump has made during his presidency I can give you one chucky cheese token of credit for that statement.
TexasBaconMan
2 goats and a chicken...
DougTheLlama
The future of America?
Corrodias
I read this as meaning "personal sacrifice", but I'm glad to see you thinking outside the box.
WardSharlow
He hasn't had time to shoot his TV show?
MexImgurian
Not having Melania close to him? Although that's a huge win for her!
CaptainDPooly
Yeah that's certainly a point to Melania, but can you blame her. She finally doesn't have that sentient cheesepuff pawing at her.
PaperCl1p
Define sacrifice?
dreadeyeknight
What did Obama sacrifice in his first three months?
weedtittiesandkitties
Smoking
PandaPlop
I get where you are coming from with that logic, but I don't think people have compared him to MLK for healthcare.
GoodGameYoungLad
Not intelligent ppl
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
what does Obama have to do with the question?
GoodGameYoungLad
Nothing at all but that's the default response of a Trump supporter they literally parrot wat u say and insert Obama
dreadeyeknight
The question was what has Trump sacrificed. He's been there for three months. Obama was in that same seat for 8 years,what did he sacrifice
YouDontNeedToSeeMyIdentification
You're right. The question was what has Trump sacrificed. Not what Obama did.
Gorgrim
Obama never suggested he had sacrificed anything in his life, unlike Trump. Trump thinks his fortune is a 'sacrifice'.
RichieYesitsSpelledRichieNotRitchieNotRichey
Hey, dumbass, Obama doesnt have anything to do with the question. Stop avoiding the actual question
Corrodias
You've mistaken this context for a comparison between Trump and Obama. It's actually a comparison between Trump and MLK (Jr?).
Corrodias
That the previous president (of the current opposition party) is also not "the MLK" of healthcare is not a good defense of that statement.
Corrodias
Obama is probably also not a good comparison to MLK, but as it turns out, no one has tried to make such a comparison.
Corrodias
Notice the image in the post and the text that goes with it. Someone made a claim that Trump is "the MLK" of healthcare.
